The Earthquake Connection
Earthquakes are devastating reminders that we live on a violent earth. Predicting earthquakes accurately is still a formidable task; but the detailed study of how earthquakes shape our world is throwing up other predictions, of a more intriguing kind, and they affect the British economy. A hundred million years ago the land mass around what was to become the British Isles was stretched and racked by massive earthquakes. Scientists believe they can trace the same processes going on right now In the Aegean. Linking the two, they've found an intriguing connection between the creation of Greek islands, why the church where St Paul preached 2,000 years ago is now six feet under water - and the real size of Britain's oil reserves. The Earth. quake Connection suggests we may now have to revise our estimates about exactly how much oil is left. Narrator Martin Jarvis
