Inside Planet Earth

Image 1 / 5

‘Inside Planet Earth’ is a fascinating series giving viewers a unique opportunity to explore the thousands of miles of inaccessible rock and metal, searing heat, and crushing pressure below the Earth’s surface. The Earth is like an onion, divided into layers and each layer plays a vital role in making the world a place where life can survive. The journey begins above ground, discovering what it is like to freefall through 30 kilometres of atmosphere. Then viewers will plunge through to ground level, known as the crust, and discover how the Earth's inner heat breaks up this layer into multiple continental rafts, known as tectonic plates. ‘Inside Planet Earth’ continues to delve deeper and deeper, thousands of miles inside the Earth learning more about the life that survives despite radiation and the centre, where gravity is absent.
