Europe was forged by continental collisions and climate shifts
In short: This documentary traces the 300-million-year evolution of Europe, from its violent geological origins to the era of the dinosaurs.
The film explores how Europe's current geography was shaped by dramatic continental crashes and intense heat. It covers a timeline starting in the Carboniferous period, tracking the landmass as it migrated through diverse climate zones and underwent significant folding from tectonic activity.
Key milestones include the rise of dinosaurs on the continent and the eventual impact 65 million years ago that altered the course of history. By examining these geological and biological shifts, the documentary provides a macro-perspective on how our modern world was constructed over hundreds of millions of years.
