Born of Fire

National Geographic cameras travel to Iceland, Africa, Japan, California, and Greece to record how the huge plates of the earth's crust crash together and spread apart causing ground-shattering earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Follow scientists around the world as they search for clues to the causes of these powerful geologic events. Born of Fire demonstrates that while man is capable of harnessing this tremendous power for his benefit, he must also prepare for the possibility of cataclysmic disaster.
