This episode reveals how the Earth's crust is ripping apart as molten rock from deep within its recesses pushes upwards. For millions of years the East African Rift has been tearing the African plate in two.

Discover Ethiopia's Afar Triangle where the Earth is fundamentally re-ordering its surface, and journey to Egypt's Nile valley which has been a corridor of trade and a cradle of civilizations for centuries.

On the final leg of the trek, witness the tectonic violence of the Dead Sea Rift — a seismic threat that hangs over the area like a curse.

A 96-page Teacher Resource Guide, written by practicing educators, accompanies the Geologic Journey II series and provides a wealth of activities, lesson plans and curriculum outcomes to assist in integrating the DVDs and the Geologic Journey II web site (cbc.ca/geologic2) into the classroom.

The guide provides the teacher with direction and focus for each of the episodes and gives students opportunities to utilize the vast array of visual resources available to supplement their studies in this area. Using a variety of teaching and learning approaches, the guide explains the geologic features experienced by Dr. Nick Eyles of the University of Toronto Scarborough as he visits these exotic locales with help from local geologic experts. It also extends students' knowledge through writing, reflecting, discussing and explaining their findings.

Please note:
One copy of the Teacher Resource Guide is included with every Geologic Journey II DVD order.
