Margins of the land -- Sky above -- Baking deserts.
Presenter: David Attenborough.
Margins of the land. Host David Attenborough talks about the animals and plants that make their homes in the shifting world of mud and sand in tidal areas.
Sky above. Host David Attenborough describes the atmosphere as a covering to the earth that is constantly on the move with currents of air manufacturing the world's weather. He shows that in order to drift and fly, plants and animals must overcome gravity, but at the same time, the world would be a chaotic, weightless place without gravity.
Baking deserts. Host David Attenborough describes how desert animals survive heat and drought in a variety of ingenious ways.
