Rise of the continents. The Americas
Description
From the bedrock the Empire State Building is built on, to the Spanish empires in South America, the two land masses of North and South America are linked by geology and history. Today North and South America has some of the most spectacular landscapes on earth. They're the product of a violent geological past that shaped an equally turbulent human history. America is part of the fascinating BBC science series Rise of the Continents. This episode focuses on North and South America and looks at how the history of the land reflects the history of the people of this continent.
