This 10-part mini-series is a sweeping account of the rise of Earth's continents. They are the product of a grand waltz of plate tectonics and the continual evolution of the earth's crust, assembling and separating.

Half a billion years ago all the continents were joined together in the super continent Gondwana. Since then they have gone there separate ways as plate tectonics pulled Gondwana apart. Here are their stories. Some continents will meet again. Others will will continue to be pulled apart.—David Foss
