Introduction
The film is divided into five
episodes, showing how the forces
of nature drive, shape and
maintain the diversity of life on
earth. The first four episodes
explore the forces of volcanoes,
sunlight, weather, and oceans,
respectively, and the final episode
addresses emerging natural forces:
Humanity. Reveals the huge
human impact on the earth and
how to restore the perfect
ecological balance of the earth.
Author Profile
David Attenborough, whose full

name is David Frederick
Attenborough, is considered to be
the longest traveler in history. Over
the years, with the BBC production
team, he has explored all the
known ecological environments on
earth, not only An outstanding

Appreciation
Episode 1
Volcano
Without volcanoes, there would be no life on
earth. As destructive as volcanoes are, magma
from Earth's molten core builds the land, and
the mineral-rich ash from volcanic eruptions
also fertilizes the surface.

Episode 3
Weather
The uneven distribution of fresh water across the globe, from
extremely arid deserts to leafy rainforests, has created the
diverse species and habitats that shape the lives of all animals on
Earth. In this episode, viewers will see fire ants that form "life
rafts" as the Amazon floods; short-headed big-footed frogs that
manage to make a living in extremely dry habitats; Rare feral
camels that feed on moisture in snowfall, and magenta bee-eaters
that nest and breed on exposed shorelines during the dry season.
The climate that was once predictable to this day is changing

rapidly. Weather patterns have become unpredictable, and extreme
weather is common. Faced with a rapidly changing climate, many
animals are struggling to survive.
Episode 4
Ocean
The ocean is the largest ecosystem on Earth,
covering two-thirds of the Earth's surface
and providing half of the total oxygen in the
atmosphere. Eighty percent of all life on
Earth lives in the oceans, and nearly 3
billion people rely on the oceans for their
main source of food. However, without a
strong global ocean current system, the
earth's oceans are nothing but stagnant
waters, not only marine animals, but all life
on the entire earth will cease to exist. The
survival of marine life is inseparable from
the flow of seawater. Ocean currents
transport vital nutrients to different parts of
the ocean, nourishing thousands of animals.
Episode 5
Humans
Humans are rapidly changing our planet, and life-support
systems, including weather, oceans, and the living world,
are being hit. Nearly every aspect of modern life relies
on the energy produced by burning fossil fuels, which
produces large amounts of carbon dioxide. The impact of
human activity today is like a "supervolcano", releasing
carbon dioxide faster than the prehistoric volcanic
eruptions that wiped out life.
Conclusion
Earth is a perfect planet. Every
aspect of the earth is very suitable
for human existence, and its
surging natural forces perfectly
give birth to colorful life. The water
cycle of the global climate system
transports fresh water to all corners;
ocean currents stir up nutrients in
the deepest parts of the ocean floor;
sunlight brings warmth and energy
to everything; violent volcanic
eruptions create fertile soil.
Therefore, life is everywhere on
our planet.
