Viewed from space, our blue planet seems as familiar as a long-time friend – so familiar that we forget how extraordinary it really is. As far as we know, our world is unique in the universe, defined by three elements, Air, Land and Water. Each element has its own special properties and phenomena and is home to myriad lifeforms that have infiltrated every habitat, from the deepest oceans to the tiniest nooks and crannies.
Episode 1
Across three enthralling episodes, ‘Earth – The Nature of Our Planet’, explores mysteries of the plant and animal kingdoms; weather and geological phenomena and nature’s wonders, from the perspective of the elements. Air, Land and Water are not only the stages for this dramatic theatre of life, but dynamic spheres in their own right, connected to one another through surprising relationships.
Episode 2
Episode two brings us back to earth. Our Earth, the land beneath our feet, is in a state of perpetual change and unrest, as demonstrated by countless volcanoes and geysers around the globe. The tectonic plates of our planet are in constant motion. When they collide and grind against each other, earthquakes or tsunamis may result.
Episode 3
Episode three presents the most prominent habitat of our planet – water. It’s ironic that we should call our planet ‘Earth’, when two thirds of its surface is covered by water!
