Program Overview

|
|
Volcanic eruptions are one type of phenomena that have shaped the
Earth over the past four billion years. For years scientists have
studied volcanoes, gathering important data about the dates and
locations of eruptions and observing the dust and lava that are
produced. However, there is still much to learn about how volcanoes
erupt and how life develops on the land formed by the lava.
This episode of NOVA follows scientists who are studying the history
of the volcanic islands of Hawaii and the special adaptations of
plant and animal life that have developed there.
