Although the continents seem stationary, they are actually moving gradually each year. Follow scientists around the world as they search for clues to the causes of volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. The video takes us to Iceland where new and recent volcanoes have emerged, and to Africa, Japan, California and Santorini to record what happens when the “plates” which make up the world’s surface move and crash together.
