When the Earth Had Supermountains

Synopsis

Supermountains, colossal geological formations, have only emerged twice in Earth's history, during the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras. These immense structures, which existed for a brief period, are linked to significant evolutionary changes, including the diversification of life forms. The documentary examines the formation and impact of supermountains on the planet's climate and ecosystems, highlighting their role in shaping the course of evolution. Insights from geologists and paleontologists provide a deeper understanding of these extraordinary natural phenomena.
