Everest is the tallest and biggest mountain on earth, as far removed from sea level as it’s possible to be – and yet its sedimentary layers contain fossils that were once creatures that lived on the ocean seabed.

The Himalayas formed when India smashed into Asia – propelled by plate tectonics. It is still rising but its height is limited – extreme erosion counteracts and limits the amount of uplift Titanic forces — colliding continents, raging volcanic eruptions, and the grinding power of glaciers — have been carving and sculpting the Earth’s crust for 4.5 billion years.

HOW THE EARTH WAS MADE peels back the millennia, combining cutting-edge scientific research with stunning aerial photography and exotic locations, as it investigates how these slow but immensely powerful forces of geology shaped and continue to shape our evolving world.
