If you have any interest in geology, this is an excellent PBS program showing how North America was created. Very well done.

"Experience the colossal geologic forces that shaped our continent over billions of years.
The epic 3 billion-year story of how our continent came to be. From the palm trees that once flourished in Alaska to titanic eruptions that nearly tore the Midwest in two, discover how forces of almost unimaginable power gave birth to North America."

Question on the palm fossils in Alaska. The coral found was dropped during migration Of the continent’s, but the palms were there because they grew there? Couldn’t it have been the opposite? Or maybe they were both originally from that area?

It grew there during a time when the climate was much warmer. Plate tectonics has always fascinated me. Pangia was one of several super land mass's formed and dispersed over time.

The lava flows from Canada to the mid-west fascinated me.

Cool show. We really are just a spec on the geologic timeline. I have always believed in climate change. Climate on Earth has never stopped changing in 5 billion years, and it is not going to stop for or because of humanity. We're still warming up from and Ice Age, Greta.
I have to argument with idiots all the time. We've been globally warming for 10,000 years. If you talked to scientists in the 60's and 70's, they were screaming from the rooftops about an impending ice age. Imagine what we'll be beating the drum to tomorrow?

Whatever sells. Whatever puts money in the pockets of politicians. That's what they will be pushing. Almost guaranteed.

Just took activists becoming teachers and professors spreading false narratives that the sky is falling and fossil fuels and capitalism is at the root of the problem. Youth is a very vulnerable phase in all of our lives where we can be scared into thinking the worse. I remember thinking quicksand, killer bees, giant sharks or squids and a meteorite would be the means most of us would die from watching tv/movies produced by left wing Hollywood producers. FEAR is very powerful if the other side is censored or cancelled to where they can’t get the true facts out to our youth.
These activists that aren’t working and creating havoc are being funded by Hollywood elites and leftists bureaucrats. That should tell us all we need to know.

Millions of years...So back then water flowed up hill to form the Grand Canyon? Theres no way the Grand Canyon was formed how they say it was. The Grand Canyon is at a higher elevation than all land surrounding it. The river would have gone around it and it would never have formed. Just another lie in a series of never ending propoganda.

And all those layers of earth showing the different "periods". There are trees standing up through all those layers they have dug up. I know trees can be old, but millions of years for a single tree?

The palms were there originally. Think of the earth as a big garden before a major water event. After that event everything changed.
