A restless north

This first episode of Series two - called a restless north - takes a look at how dynamic our land has been (and still is!). At least once or twice a year we are reminded of the awesome but terrifying power of the planet by catastrophic earthquakes occurring around the globe. Earthquakes happen here too – but on a more subdued level. But we have evidence in the north that they were once rather more assertive.  How our rocks have been bent, broken and moved is the challenge of structural geologists, they are the ones who try to untangle this super complex earth size natural rubik's cube
