Vesuvius in the year 79 A.D. to the devastating convulsion of Kobe, Japan, in 1994, this four-part series -- narrated by actor Stacy Keach -- tells the stories of these great natural disasters, the scientists who struggle to understand and predict them, and the people whose lives are forever changed by their merciless force. In this Web companion piece, original articles by journalists Daniel Pendick and Kathy Svitil explain the science behind volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis, and feature original animations that illustrate the action of these natural phenomena." The main divisions of this site are: * Hell's crust: our everchanging planet * The Restless planet: earthquakes * Out of the inferno: volcanoes * Waves of destruction: tsunamis * Animations * Ask the experts * Savage sites |
