Building structures and machines to harness water.

Migration, travel and trade are all key components of human life.

As the battle distance continues to grow with each new weapon, humans put their best minds to work refining and evolving their designs over the millennia to gain the upper hand.

A miraculous mantle envelops the entire planet - a thin skin of gasses called 'air'. Without it, there would be no life or weather, no habitable conditions, or protection from lethal ultraviolet radiation or meteorites from outer space.

It's the solid crust of our planet, the perfect element in which to record the stories of deep time and of lifetimes. Change and progression is the way of earth. Air and water turn solid rock into soil.

How the flow of water has the power to shape all inhabitants on Earth, produces climate-changing weather and supporting species, from the largest whales to microscopic plankton.

Arid and unforgiving, deserts push their inhabitants to the extreme; from the desert elephant to the shovel-snouted lizard, see how they survive.

Rivers are the life veins of this planet, offering all those that depend on them respite from both heat and thirst; a look into how for the life they give, they also take away.

Africa's rainforests are second only to the Amazon in size; see these tangled worlds, that are home to chimpanzees, gorillas and forest elephants, one of the last remaining strongholds for the planet's wild creatures.
