This series takes a look at some of its aspects -- with which the average person may be unacquainted. Computer graphics and scientists reveal new facts about Earth that include rain triggered by cosmic rays, and canyons of gravity that warp space and time. "Secrets of the Earth" explores this world, providing data and inspiring a sense of awe that people usually feel about other celestial bodies.S2, EP1 "Death Traps: Quicksand, Whirlpools & Riptides"Quicksand, grabbing unsuspecting victims in a mortal grip; whirlpools, the relentless swirls of water trapping entire boats in their swift vortices; rip currents, the hidden rivers of ocean water sweeping even strong swimmers beyond the waves.

S1, EP3 "Tides"Explore what drives the strange science behind places like Canada's Bay of Fundy-where water levels rise as much as 50 feet during high tide, and Alaska's Turnagain Arm, where 10-foot tall "bore waves" routinely wash in from the sea.
S1, EP4 "Volcanoes"Volcanoes have incredible effects on the weather; eruptions create localized weather phenomena like acid rain and violent volcanic lightning.
S1, EP5 "Gravity"NASA satellites have mapped Earth's gravity and discovered mysterious spots where gravity is weaker; how earthquakes change the planet's gravitational field.
S1, EP6 "Goldilocks"Venus and Mars show how inhospitable Earth could have been if things were just a little bit different.
S1, EP7 "Magnetic Shield"Earth's metallic core makes the planet a huge magnet, generating a magnetic field that protects us from dangerous cosmic rays and solar energy.
S1, EP8 "Blizzards"Blizzards; it's one of the Earth's most beautiful secrets until it turns into a storm that can bring entire cities to a grinding halt.
