Spectacular on-location shooting, evidence from geologists in the field, and clear, dramatic graphics combine in Season Two of this stunning series from HISTORY™ to show how immensely powerful, and at times violent, forces of geology have formed our planet.

This season, How the Earth Was Made goes back in history from 4.5 billion years ago to today peeling back layers of rock, filling up river canyons, parting the oceans, and levelling mountains and volcanoes to investigate the origins of some of the most well-known locations and geological phenomena in the world. With rocks as their clues and volcanoes, ice sheets and colliding continents as their suspects, scientists launch a forensic investigation that will help viewers visualize how the Earth has evolved and formed over millions of years.
