About this listen

 What if I told you the ground beneath your feet is not solid ground at all, but a temporary raft on a sea of molten rock, constantly in a slow-motion demolition derby? This is the story of Plate Tectonics.

In this episode, we're exploring our planet's restless heart. You'll learn how the epic, silent war between continents built the mountains, carved the oceans, and created the world as you know it. We'll journey back in time to the age of the supercontinent Pangea, and then go on a ghost hunt for the lost continents of Zealandia and Argoland, hidden beneath our modern seas.

But this isn't just ancient history. We'll show you how Africa is splitting apart right now, forming a brand new ocean. We'll navigate the treacherous Drake Passage, a waterway so violent it kept continents apart for millennia, and expose the human blunders and triumphs in the face of these immense geological forces.

Stick with us to the very end as we reveal the name and the incredible shape of the Earth's next supercontinent, destined to form millions of years from now.

This is the greatest story on Earth—the story of Earth itself. Subscribe, share this with anyone who thinks the world is a static place, and let's explore our ever-changing home together.
