Transcript: The Top on the Formation of Islands
Two animated brains move over a line maze. Two chomping halves of an animated pink brain join together. Text on banners over the brain reads, “Hungry Brain!”
[Upbeat music plays]
A voice says, HUNGRY BRAIN!
In an animation, a red-haired woman wears a red bandana. She stands behind a ship’s wheel with a parrot perched on a handle.
The red-haired pirate says, SON OF A SCURVY SEA DOG. ACCORDING TO ME CHARTS, OUR TREASURE ISLAND SHOULD BE RIGHT HERE. DISAPPEARED IT BE!
[Parrot squawking, water splashing]
The parrot says, I'M AT A LOSS.
[Pirate sighing]
The red-haired pirate says, IT IS A STRANGE WORLD WE BE LIVING IN WHEN SOME ISLANDS VANISH INTO THIN AIR AND OTHERS POP-UP FROM DAVEY JONES'S LOCKER.
Episode title: Top on the Formation of Islands.
A narrator says, HERE'S THE TOP ON THE FORMATION OF ISLANDS.
[Water splashing]
The red-haired pirate says, LET'S HAVE A LOOKSEE AT THE ISLAND OF THE SEVEN SEAS.
Pushpins appear on a map.
[Whooshing]
The narrator says, WE THINK THERE ARE AROUND 300,000 ISLANDS IN THE WORLD. EACH YEAR, ISLANDS APPEAR AND DISAPPEAR.
The red-haired pirate says, MATEY! IF ME EYES DON'T DECEIVE ME, AN ISLAND JUST POPPED UP IN FRONT OF US! TO PORT!
The parrot says, YOU SHOULD LAY OFF THE PORT, MORE LIKE.
The number four appears beside a ship with tall sails.
[Dinging, waves splashing]
A second narrator says, NUMBER FOUR: MELTING GLACIERS. OVER 100,000 YEARS AGO, LAND WAS SUBMERGED BY RISING SEA LEVELS, WHICH FORMED CONTINENTAL ISLANDS. THEY REMAIN ATTACHED TO THE MAINLAND AND ARE FOUND IN SHALLOW WATERS.
A map shows the location of Great Britain and Ireland.
[Whooshing]
The second narrator says, EXAMPLE: GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND ARE STILL ATTACHED TO THE EUROPEAN CONTINENT.
The number three appears beside a ship with tall sails.
[Dinging, waves splashing]
The first narrator says, NUMBER THREE: VOLCANIC ACTIVITY.
The red-haired pirate says, MATEY, FETCH ME SPYGLASS, I SEE A HUGE COLUMN OF SMOKE!
In an animation, lava bubbles beneath the seabed.
[Explosion]
The first narrator says, VOLCANIC ISLANDS ARE FORMED BY VOLCANIC ACTIVITY UNDER THE SEABED. LAVA EXPLOSIONS FORM AN UNDERWATER RIDGE, WHICH, OVER TIME, POPS ABOVE THE SURFACE OF THE WATER AS A NEW ISLAND.
[Parrot squawking]
The parrot says, BOOM-BOOM, SINK-THE-ROOM.
A map shows the Hawaiian Islands.
[Whooshing]
The first narrator says, SOMETIMES AN ENTIRE CHAIN OF VOLCANIC ISLAND IS FORMED THIS WAY. EXAMPLE? SAY ALOHA TO THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS.
The number two appears beside a ship with tall sails.
[Dinging, waves splashing]
The second narrator says, NUMBER TWO: SAND ISLANDS. WATER CURRENTS CAN MOVE LARGE AMOUNTS OF SAND AND SEDIMENT TO THE POINT OF CREATING NEW ISLANDS. LIKE SABLE ISLAND OFF THE COAST OF NOVA SCOTIA IN CANADA, STARTED FORMING JUST UNDER 20,000 YEARS AGO.
A map shows the maritime provinces of Canada.
The red-haired pirate says, AVAST, MATEY! WE'LL BE RUN AGROUND. MAROONED I TELL YE! BY THE WAY, IT'S YOUR TURN TO PUSH THE SHIP.
[Parrot grumbling]
The number one appears beside a ship with tall sails.
[Dinging, waves splashing]
The first narrator says, NUMBER ONE: ARTIFICIAL ISLANDS.
A map shows the location of Dubai.
[Whooshing]
The first narrator says, IN DUBAI, IN THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES, THERE ARE MANMADE ISLANDS. THE BEST KNOWN, PALM JUMEIRAH, IS AN ARCHIPELAGO SHAPED LIKE A PALM TREE, WITH THE DIAMETER OF 5 KILOMETRES.
On the map, construction trucks drive to Palm Jumeirah.
[Engines rumbling]
The first narrator says, MILLIONS OF TONS OF SAND AND GRAVEL WERE NEEDED TO BUILD IT.
The red-haired pirate says, I SPY THE TREASURE ISLAND. WELL, I'LL BE BLOWED.
[Water splashing, parrot squawking]
The parrot says, OLD TREASURE? A SURE BREAK FROM YOUR PUNS.
[Upbeat music continues]
