This episode unveils the mystery of weather the mountain range was once the witness to not one but two massive continental collisions. Hidden in the rocks lies dramatic evidence unearthed by Jim Hubbard telling how continents once drifted across the planet to collide and create our modern geography.

Journey - Odyssee Geologique (Boxset) (DVD)
In this stunning Canadian Broadcasting Corporation production,
narrator David Suzuki guides us through the mechanisms that built the North
American continent. A five part series that ranges from the
The
At the edges of that extended rock floor are the Rocky Mountains in the west and
the Appalachian range bordering the
Those
The imagery of this series is awesome, with a good mix of sweeping vistas and
detail-revealing close-ups. Some details are only shown through computer-generated
graphics such as the movement of lost continents over time as if performing a
lithic waltz. The structure of tiny jewels - zircons - which contain the
molecules indicating the rock's age, need the illustrator's touch, also.
Through it all, David Suzuki's measured narrative keeps you abreast of the
events and their meaning. Largely, however, he relinquishes the tale for the
scientists to take up. There are still those who still picture researchers as
lab-coated individuals aloof to daily life. These scientists dispel that image
as wholly false as they climb cliffs, dig in cornfields or comment on the
forces involved in making
