Synopsis:

It is one thing to contemplate the immense power of nature, another to experience these forces first-hand. "Forces of Nature" will showcase the awesome spectacle of earthquakes, volcanoes, and severe storms as we follow scientists on their groundbreaking quests to understand how these natural disasters are triggered. Audiences will learn what is being done to predict and prepare for these events -- and minimize their deadly effects -- as they come face-to-face with Earth's most destructive forces.

Produced by Graphic Films and National Geographic, funded in part by the National Science Foundation and combined with a strong package of educational materials and ancillary programs, this film promises to entertain and educate audiences worldswide.

"'Forces' provides a powerful, educational look at nature"
