Description

The Earth Wants To Kill You!

Okay, the Earth doesn’t actually want to kill you… but we live on a dynamic planet, filled with geological hazards that pose real danger. Join RCGS Explorer In Residence George Kourounis as he showcases some of the mightiest weapons in Planet Earth’s arsenal. From volcanoes to earthquakes, tsunamis and avalanches, learn how they work, what dangers they pose, and a few lessons on how to survive if you find yourself in the path of Mother Nature’s bad moods.
