Coliding Continents

Colliding Continents National Geographic

The video Continents colliding by National Geographic is about the time in planet earth and the continents colliding overtime. The video starts in hundreds of millions of years in the future when intergalactic explorers return to planet earth looking for ancient civilization. Instead of thatthey found that Earth has changed and that their civilization has disappeared. They find large masses of continents, glaciers and islands. Their civilization has been crushedand buried under tons of rocks. The awesome power of colliding continents shape and reshape our planet full of construction and deconstruction.
Earth from space is easyto clearly see the continents that shape our planet: North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, Asia and Australia. Powerful forces deep below the Earth surfaceare moving the continents on a journey across the face of the globe. They will rip vast landmasses apart and send them smashing into one another, to reshape our world.Oceans will disappear; mountains will crumble, and rise again. And where great cities once stood there will be little more than fossils. We investigate the forces that drivethis dynamic process to discover what created the land we see today. And what the future holds for us, on the incredible voyage of our ever changing continents. What we areobserving at the moment is only a snap shot of the global cycle that the Earth has been undergoing for the last 4.5 billion years and will continue to undergo even if weare not around anymore. We look into the future to see what the world will look like in 250 million years time. The video showed us the moving and colliding of continents.
