How the Earth Was Made explores the farthest reaches of history to uncover the origins of our planet. Shaped by fire and ice, and molded by floods, volcanoes, asteroids, and earthquakes, Earth's story is one of dynamic geological transformation. The series investigates phenomena such as mega-tsunamis and the effects of millions of years of rainfall. Through visual effects, on-location filming, and striking aerial photography, the show takes viewers back 4.5 billion years, offering a rare perspective on Earth's development. By examining layers of rock and geological history, the series reveals the beginnings of the world we inhabit.
