The episode travels to cratered landscapes that record the story of Earth's formation — the Canadian Arctic tundra, Arizona's Barringer Crater, the Nullarbor Plain of Australia, and other impact sites. Examines how Earth formed 4.6 billion years ago from solar nebula gas condensing into a primordial microplanet, the role of relentless meteorite bombardment in shaping the early Earth, and how water eventually emerged to create the conditions for life. Special effects photography recreates the birth of Earth from primordial chaos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;\"\u003eSide 2 — 第二集: 引き裂かれる大地\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;\"\u003e(Episode 2: The Torn Earth)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;\"\u003eBeneath the blue-green surface of our living planet, intense heat drives the forces that shape continents.
