Did you watch the BBC 2 programme, 'Rise of the Continents'?


It is excellent for our GCSE Geographers and others keen to learn more about facinating changes to our planet!

Sunday BBC 2, 9pm or you can watch the first episode on BBC iPlayer.

Victoria Falls is a 100m-high waterfall in Southern Africa, on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe.  Geologist and presenter Iain Stewart opted for the ultimate way to experience the cascade.

He jumped into a rock pool at the edge of the falls, which are said to be the largest in the world, and catches a vertigo-inducing view.

In the programme, Prof Stewart examines the evidence for a long-lost landmass called Pangaea - from which all modern continents originate.
Victoria Falls was formed from intense volcanic activity in an ancient landmass called Gondwanaland, almost 200 million years ago.
