Denny Smith Denny Smith 7 days ago Good sequencing and an appropriate depth of details for an enormous span of natural history! 7 Skelton Juanita Skelton Juanita 1 day ago I enjoyed this presentation. Subduction and drag have to be combined when you think about the dynamics but I think learning even some of this is fascinating. The dynamics of the earth beneath and above us is stunning. Thank you! Jay Martin Jay Martin 3 days ago I found a piece of meteorite in the river fishing one day. I gave it to my old college professor, thinking back I wish I would have kept it. It was more iron like about a foot long and three inches wide no sharp edges. It was extremely heavy for its size. 3 Tom C Tom C 9 days ago (edited) In case anyone is wondering, this is a 2015 documentary. Just looked it up on the PBS website. I had thought at first that it was a new one. ______________ Earth: The Inside Story contrasts Earth's geology with that of other planets in our solar system, dramatically underscoring how unique our planet is, and delves into the unpredictable sequence of geologic and cosmic events that happened before we humans made our appearance on Earth just a few million years ago. Working up to modern times, the film lends scientific perspective to a question people are asking in light of recent news coverage of major earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, and extreme weather: Are the Earth's natural systems undergoing a period of intense upheaval?

Why are we not completely frozen? Or is there no correlation? Also no mention of the Moon or Sun and their respective roles in climate and geology. 2 Esther McDonald Esther McDonald 4 days ago I loved this. Very interesting! 1 Haraldur Karlsson Haraldur Karlsson 7 days ago I addition to what I stated before I find it odd that no mention is made of drag along the base of the plates as a significant force. Clearly subduction (with its plate pull) plays a major role but some plates that a few subduction zones (North American Plate comes o mind) must be moved mostly by the drag. The mid-ocean (and rift systems like in Iceland) are clear indications that the push plays a minor part in the movement (as indicated by the tension seen in the volcanic rift zones) and that leaves drag as the major force. 2 Xochitl Xochitl 12 days ago Excellent documentary. I really enjoyed it ! 21 Larry Small Larry Small 2 days ago A very good program but I am still left with one unanswered question. It seems to me that the cause of all of the things they spoke of here is the moon. Is it not the gravitational pull by the moon that causes the plates to shift? which produces the tides, earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, and extreme weather on this planet? And yet there was not one mention of the moon on this program. Actually, I have yet to hear the moon's effects on the earth's climate fully explained. 2 RD2564 RD2564 8 days ago (edited) This documentary was slow getting going, the theory that the subducted plates are "pulling" their tail behind them is not explained, but the film came to life half way through with theories of the causes of the CO2 fluctuations resulting in global temperature fluctuations at various points in history and the video turned out to be quite good. PS, Klemperer has freakishly good teeth, so good that they look fake, I thought he was an android for a while there ... 4 David Kelter David Kelter 13 days ago Fascinating. Quite the world we're living on. Thank you to all the amazing scientists translating Earth's natural archives. I'm excited for the discoveries that remain. 15 Reno Graziano Reno Graziano 10 days ago I view the volcanos especially the ones which are constantly erupting as pressure Reliefs. Just so long as we do not Have land collapse as has happened in our past.... Che M Che M 5 days ago (edited) What evidence is there for the massive impact described at the beginning? 3 John Partridge John Partridge 5 days ago Brilliant Programme & I'd like to see more plz 👍 Zoe A Thomson Zoe A Thomson 1 day ago Have we any idea about how the plates are shifting is there any clumping going on inside the planet around opening in the surface, i think so Mountain Fisher Mountain Fisher 12 days ago Nothing new, between 45 to 55 volcanic eruptions a year on average now. Remember before 100 years ago we didn't even know how many volcanoes there were. There are earthquake frequency maps that were developed so you can see zones where eq's up to 5 are common. Some YouTubers make a living predicting these small quakes, but they rarely ever predict a big quake, it is hardly predicting when you're using statistics. Big quakes are just too random to predict with any regularity. Here's an old video detailing it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJoIDC4_0AU&t=70s Earth doesn't grow volcanoes extremely high not only by moving crust, but also has higher gravity putting a limit on how high mountains can grow. What most people don't know is that the crust contains so much oxygen if released it would kill off most life. Silicates are SiO2, FeO2 and TiO2 Silicon, titanium and iron alone hold enough O2 to more than double the 22% we live on. Much is made about the magnetic poles are reversing, but there isn't any mass extinction events found around Pole reversals. Also magnetic strength waning and waxing is just natural. 4 Richard Mcdonald Richard Mcdonald 6 days ago How do we not know Earth's core isn't cooling already? Kurt Bogle Kurt Bogle 6 days ago We don't know how many times the Earth had completely recycled its plates. Everything could be millions and millions of years older than we think. Why isn't it OK to say we don't know? 1 Greg Rumscheidt Greg Rumscheidt 7 days ago Definitely learned some things thank you! This is a great video 1 matt young matt young 3 days ago 0:23 "... the sole planet with an atmosphere that has sustained life for billions of years" .... that we know of! 2 Christina Sornbutnark Christina Sornbutnark 1 hour ago Amazing! Fascinating! Australia was attached to Antarctica Whaaat?! Rupert Erskin Rupert Erskin 6 days ago Right on. Thanks for sharing. Josh Soto Josh Soto 6 days ago You're the best ...I Love P.B.S. documentaries 2 Ronald Matthews Ronald Matthews 2 days ago It is the fool that says in his heart “there is no God”. Fossils date the rock layer and the rock layer identifies the age of the fossils. This is called circular logic. Apart from the plate tectonic observations, the hypothesis covered in this documentary is ridiculous. Jehovah laughs at our attempts at understanding and describing His Creation. 1 Pale Horse Pale Horse 3 days ago Theory, not fact. The moon is still a mystery. I just can't watch this when they present a theory as if it's a proven fact. It isn't. 5 Gary Graham Gary Graham 4 days ago PBS- Propaganda Based Science! I particularly loved the grandiose all encompassing "statements of facts" based on questionable scientific measurements and small number of occurrences used to establish large "norms"! 1 Bnio Bnio 6 days ago I would love to be a fly on the wall when that Stanford professor describes her job at a cocktail party: "I study the Earth's core. By crushing diamonds together...and then firing lasers at the diamonds." ABBE Repair ABBE Repair 4 hours ago What causes the Earth to spin? I know that it does, but not why Grandma Kelly’s Clean Life, Clean Living Grandma Kelly’s Clean Life, Clean Living 11 days ago Very interesting! 💕❤️👵🌺 Alexandru Danciu Alexandru Danciu 1 day ago Just 6 minutes into the video, and I'm shocked how bad this documentary is - I'm out😓 1 jennifer McDonald jennifer McDonald 6 days ago Does anyone know why the centre of the earth is still so incredibly hot! Surely after 4 and a half billion years, it should have cooled down. I don’t understand how heat is still being generated, well that much heat. Michael Fitzgerald Michael Fitzgerald 9 days ago Quite amazing! Reno Graziano Reno Graziano 10 days ago Oh yes thank you for this program. To all of you who think outside of the norm. Keep asking, what if............ 1 johnny the greek johnny the greek 5 days ago Taking surface rock samples to determine age (that can never be verified), is like baking a cake for two hours, and once removed, giving its age. The ingredients of the cake are much older and vary. You can never truly know how old it is. roop298 roop298 10 days ago The earth isn't unique in having a magnetic field. Daniel Paulson Daniel Paulson 10 days ago Fascinating and ever evident. Thanks for a great show. 1 Anthony B Pringle Anthony B Pringle 7 days ago Thank you to the science community for acknowledging that there are many things beyond our control. We do the best we can with what information we have. AMEN. Drew G. Drew G. 7 days ago The crust we stand on today is not the same crust from 4 billion years ago 1 Paul Micks Paul Micks 3 days ago Earth orbit was located somewhere in or around the orbit location of the asteroid belt when struck by Thea, reformed with the moon, in this colder orbit location water molecules and crystals were abundant, after enough of the crust had cooled patches of ice formed, those patches soon turned to sheets and the entire earth was coated in ice perhaps 1Os of miles thick, the Thea collusion put the earth in a slow progression towards the sun, eventually passing within Mars orbit before settling into todays warmer orbit where the great thickness of ice melted and filling great basins while the rest escaped into space during the process. 1 Joseph Stokes Joseph Stokes 8 days ago Did an adult review this discombobulated video prior to release? One would hope not! Where is/was the focus? It somewhat appears all this data was tossed into a hopper and then shaken out without any plan. Best of luck, but this appears to be a rather awful format! 4 Terre Eidson Terre Eidson 3 days ago No, the earth isn't doing anything differently than it has in the past. The difference is that we have more people who notice things quicker because of our advancement in technology. Why people can't figure this out is sad. 5 Ping Pong Ping Pong 14 hours ago For many people the Earth is flat, for many people the Earth is a forever unchangeable object, I enjoy learning more of the ways that these people are wrong. There is a lot more about how wrong people are to be learned, so lots to look forward too. My first experience of this was way back at the start of the 1960s of all the lessons at school Geography was the most boring and then one day I saw a BBC documentary about vulcanism imagine my surprise to learn this was part of the subject Geography, boy we had some bad teachers! Roberta Wilkes Roberta Wilkes 6 days ago Great info but no closed caption?? Barbara Barbara 10 days ago What I hate are that many things are stated as fact instead of the current theory. “Where we originally came from”- give me a break- I like theories but state it as a theory, which may change as we continue to gain new insights. 3 Tatiana Juarez Tatiana Juarez 7 days ago Derp! The earth wasn't created, it was formed! 1 Haraldur Karlsson Haraldur Karlsson 7 days ago Good but somewhat outdated which is not surprising considering how quickly ideas about the earth and solar system are evolving. For instance, IO is now considered the most volcanicly active body in the solar system. 2 K E L K E L 13 days ago Amazing how these scientists present their theories as facts. 9 Behnam Javid Behnam Javid 2 days ago you just moved a light year from the universe Sam Featherstone Sam Featherstone 8 days ago You won't see them talking about the adaptability of the planet when talking about climate change. You won't see them talking about repeated past climate changes without humans, when talking about climate change. We should be focused on adapting by controlling the atmosphere. Tyler Hulsey Tyler Hulsey 1 day ago Boring but somehow still interesting 🤷‍♂️ William Hughes-Games William Hughes-Games 9 days ago If you believe the revelations in the book, Plows Plagues and Petroleum, we are responsible for the unusual stability of the climate over the past 8 to 10 thousand years. Now we have too much of an influence on the climate.

Wolfdog59 Wolfdog59 6 days ago Better enjoy life as we know it now, its not going to last for long.Nature will give us a real lesson in how to be humble and how to treat this planet right.We deserve all the shit thats coming our way.There will be a lot of crying and pain, just a fact. Most people do not have a clue about the changes thats coming, not until it knocks on your door, and then its too late. Ignorance, the true cancer of this world, responsible for a big part of the problems heading our way. Water and food, the next good reason to start a war.Its coming ,just wait.Fun times ahead. 1 Carl North Carl North 2 days ago You guys are funny ,, scientists always think they have the answer to everything but it's always a guesswork ,,but the Bible now there's the truth..

Never mind you you are No.1 (in so many things I'm glad we are not.) Just to really make your day the bible states very clearly that as animals do not have a soul they do not go to heaven.
