We can't control them, we can't accurately predict them, and they can
produce some of our biggest tragedies, but nature's awesome powers have
also shaped Earth, replenishing and renewing it every day. From the
molten core of our planet to the protective embrace of our atmosphere
and the water which supports all life, watch as we reveal nature's
greatest powers.
DVD 1: Earth's Heart of Fire - When the relatively
thin layer of the Earth's crust is disturbed, earthquakes remind us that
our planet is continually restless. If the molten interior that is our
planet's heart of fire breaks through, volcanoes show that they can be
one of the most devastating of nature's powers. Watch as Mount St.
Helens explodes after an earthquake. See what happens when a jumbo jet
unwittingly flies into a cloud of volcanic dust. Travel across the
Galapagos Islands to appreciate how volcanoes are creators of new land,
and how that provides opportunities for nature to take hold. Travel to
the ocean abyss to discover what life forms thrive around super heated
vents.
DVD 2: The Power of Water - We are fascinated by
its beauty, and its ability to refresh both us and our landscapes. But
water can be one of the most powerful forces in nature - it brings the
gift of life but it can cause death and great destruction. See how only
six inches of rushing water is strong enough to move a car. Be there as a
tsunami surges onto shore and reveals why it is one of nature's
deadliest powers. Discover how in only twenty-four hours a giant flood
reshaped the North American landscape. And marvel at how water created
fabulous, giant crystals in a cave so huge a jumbo jet could fly through
it.
DVD 3: Our Restless Atmosphere - Fueled by the sun,
driven by the cycle of water and ocean currents, our atmosphere's
behavior is more powerful, more unstable, more unpredictable than any
other of nature's powers. Discover how the atmosphere protects us.
Marvel at how hurricanes and tornadoes grow to catastrophic size and
force. See the giant lightning strikes that discharge high above storms.
And find out how meteorites could dramatically affect all life on
Earth.
DVD 4: Nature's Rage: Without Warning - Nature's
destructive forces inspire our fear and fuel our fascination. In this
program, you will share too-close encounters with relentless tornadoes,
lightning strikes that are five times hotter than the sun's surface,
home-swallowing sinkholes, and cataclysmic earthquakes. You will
experience what it is like to stare 1,000 feet up a tornado funnel or
survive a lightning strike. You will also meet professional storm
trackers and scientists who race against time to learn all they can
about these devastating and deadly events.
DVD 5: Nature's Rage: Tracking the Killers - Everyone talks about
the weather. Meet the brave and dedicated people who are trying to do
something about it. In this compelling program, you will fly aboard
thirty-year-old warplanes into the eye of a hurricane and sail with the
International Ice Patrol in search of icebergs. You will face towering
walls of water and mountains of fire. You will scan the skies on alert
for asteroids on a collision course with our planet. You will watch and
listen, map and monitor, to try to predict when nature's greatest
nightmares will strike next. Harrowing tales from those who have
survived volcanic eruptions and tsunamis show what is at stake for
scientists and storm trackers whose research and actions can make the
difference between life and death.
DVD 6: Nature's Rage: In Harm's Way - Welcome to
the danger zone, where nature strikes again and again with unimaginable
force. Experience the terrors that confront those who live and work in
harm's way. You will meet a woman who survived being buried alive in an
avalanche for five hours. You will join firefighters battling infernos
so intense that they create their own weather patterns. You will witness
floods of biblical proportions and share remarkable stories of courage
as ordinary citizens band together to save their homes and help their
neighbors.
