00:03Spin and shop till you find yourself on Zoola
00:06Let's kick off, we're all managed to grow
00:09It's fun to learn with the Super Choke
00:13Wake up, Gorgah, it's time to play
00:16Come on, Captain Boonah, it's welcome the day
00:19Where's that cedar ready to go?
00:22Wizzy and Wig are good to glow
00:25Beakers bubbling, turning blue
00:28Mortals making something new
00:32Way, way up where the planets do the rule of
00:35Spin and shop till you find yourself on Zoola
00:38See around wolves at Mission Control
00:41It's fun to learn with the Soda Patrol
00:44Way, way up where the planets do the rule of
00:48Spin and shop till you find yourself on Zoola
00:51See around wolves at Mission Control
00:54It's fun to learn with the Soda Patrol
01:06Space, where planets are on the move
01:09Never stopping
01:11Maybe it's because they don't have any comfy chairs
01:16Why, Cloyd? Why is the universe so unfair?
01:21All I want is an entire planet for my very own
01:25A nice little blue planet
01:28Like Earth
01:29But there's a whole bunch of people on it
01:34It's not fair
01:36But people have been on Earth for a very long time
01:39So Earth is theirs just because they were there first?
01:45Cloyd, I'm getting another one of my brilliant ideas
01:49I got it! Over here!
01:53Hoola! Molto! It's a great day to be visiting Earth!
01:57Come on! Have some fun!
01:59We are! These measurements are thrilling!
02:02Hoo-hoo!
02:03What are you measuring, anyway?
02:05How fast the land's moving
02:07The land's moving?
02:09Absolutely!
02:10The land we're standing on
02:12And all the land on Earth
02:14Is always moving!
02:16How can land move?
02:17Very easily
02:18Gorga, I hope you remember to bring the Molto-pedia
02:21Uh-huh!
02:25The entire surface of Earth, the outer part
02:29Is covered with solid rock
02:31But that solid rock is not one big piece
02:34Oh-ho-ho-ho!
02:35Oh-ho-no!
02:36The solid rock is like a big jigsaw puzzle
02:40Made up of pieces
02:41The pieces are sheets of rock called plates
02:45Under those plates of solid rock
02:47Is rock that's so hot it's almost melted
02:50It looks like really thick, gooey, hot cheese
02:54The plates float and move around on this hot, gooey rock
02:57As they move, they can bump into each other
03:01Or pull away from each other
03:03Or slide past each other
03:05The movement of the plates is called plate tectonics
03:09In some places beneath the oceans
03:12The hot, gooey rock rises between the plates
03:15And helps to push them apart
03:17Then that gooey, hot rock cools and gets hard
03:21Making more solid rock
03:23That solid rock then becomes part of the plate
03:27When the plates move apart
03:29The continents, which are part of the plates, also move
03:33Continents? What are continents?
03:35I know! Continents are great big pieces of land
03:39Right! They're actually parts of the plates
03:42They're the parts that stick out of the ocean water
03:45And because they're parts of the plates
03:48The continents move when the plates move
03:51When plates move fast
03:53Depending on how they move
03:54You can get an earthquake
03:57But usually
03:58Big pieces of land
04:00Move very, very slowly
04:03But even though they move slowly
04:06Year by year
04:07Over a very long period of time
04:10They move a lot
04:12Here's where the continents on Earth are now
04:14But in 250 million years
04:17Here's where some scientists think the continents will be
04:21Wow!
04:25Okay, so that's where Earth's continents might be in the future
04:28But I wonder where the continents were long ago in the past
04:35Madam, are you certain this machine is...
04:39Safe?
04:40Of course, Cloyd
04:42My company made it
04:43And thanks to this time machine
04:46Earth will soon be mine
04:52Something's keeping our equipment from working
04:55It's coming from something nearby
04:57I'll check it out
04:59This is a job for the Zulu Patrol
05:04Deliria!
05:05Whatever that contraption is
05:06Will you please turn it off?
05:08I'll tell Cloyd to do no such thing
05:11Miss Zeta!
05:12Stay away from the time machine!
05:15Or else...
05:17Going back in time
05:18Back in time?
05:20I'm...
05:24Earth's continents are moving
05:26That is correct
05:28I am a time travel machine
05:30Welcome aboard
05:31Okay, just what are you up to, Deliria?
05:35Oh, never you mind
05:37Are we there yet?
05:38Welcome to Pangea
05:40Pangea?
05:41Madam Deliria wished to travel 250 million years into the past
05:46When Earth had only one super large continent
05:49Called Pangea
05:51Only one super large continent?
05:54So the other continents haven't been formed yet!
05:58I now declare Earth to be mine!
06:05We've gone back in time so far that there weren't any people on Earth
06:09So I am now the first to claim it all for myself
06:15Deliria!
06:16You can't claim a planet for yourself!
06:19I just did!
06:21Home, Cloyd!
06:23Hmm...
06:24I suppose you'll want to come back too
06:28Leaving Pangea
06:33We're going forward in time so fast
06:35We can actually see Earth's continents separating, forming more continents
06:39That is correct
06:41Earth's plates are moving and breaking apart
06:44Which is making the one continent Pangea become many separate continents
06:50Fascinating!
06:52Indeed fascinating!
06:54Humdrum!
06:56Uh... fascinatingly humdrum?
06:59Error!
07:00Error!
07:01Preparing to stop 150 million years in the past
07:05Please don't feed the animals
07:08Error!
07:09Error!
07:11Error!
07:15I don't suppose you can fix this thing?
07:19Before their dinner time?
07:21I can fix it!
07:23I just need a few extra machine parts!
07:25Where can you find machine parts in this prehistoric wilderness?
07:32You did it, Miss Zeta!
07:45Going forward in time.
07:47We're travelling forward in time millions of years per second!
07:51The hot gooey rock under Earth's plates is coming out of the spaces between them.
07:56The continents are drifting apart. An ocean is forming between them.
08:04Oh, dear! Not again!
08:07Floyd, this is not acceptable.
08:11My apologies, madam. We're in one of Earth's ice ages one and a half million years ago.
08:17Don't worry. I can patch this up enough to get us home.
08:22There must be some place to get a cup of hot cocoa.
08:29That ought to do it. It'll take a few minutes to warm up. Then we'll be on our way.
08:33Bravo! Right, madam?
08:38Madam?
08:40She's left!
08:42Well, she couldn't have gone far.
08:44Do hurry, Miss Zeta. The machine is almost up to speed!
08:50Deliria! Deliria!
08:52We've got to get back to the time machine!
08:55Madam! Miss Zeta!
08:57The time machine is about to take off and I can't stop it!
09:02Hurry, or you'll be stuck here forever!
09:04Run, madam! Run like this! Free ice cream!
09:13Going forward in time.
09:15Madam, must hurry!
09:22Hold on!
09:25Whoa!
09:30That was some move, Deliria! Thank you!
09:35What's wrong?
09:36That thing you just said.
09:38All I said was thank you.
09:40No one's ever said that to me before. I like the sound of it.
09:44Cloyd, from now on, thank me on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
09:49Here we are. Back where we started. The 21st century.
09:56And Earth is mine! All mine!
10:01It's mine! It's mine! It's mine! It's mine! It's mine! It's mine!
10:05It's mine!
10:08Zeta, where have you been?
10:10Back 250 million years in time!
10:13We got to see plate tectonics in action and watch Earth's continents form!
10:18Whoa!
10:19Check this out!
10:21250 million years ago, there was only one super-large continent.
10:26And here are the continents 150 million years ago, and a million and a half years ago!
10:31Enough chit-chat! Everyone, off my planet!
10:34Scoot! Scoot! Go on!
10:36Your planet?
10:38250 million years ago, I was the first to claim Earth for myself.
10:43So, it's mine! See?
10:45Deliria, this is just a bad photograph. This doesn't prove that Earth is yours.
10:52Huh? Cloyd! How could you let this happen? We'll simply have to do it all over again!
11:00It's all done.
11:03No! My beautiful time machine!
11:09And so, we leave Earth just as we started, with its plates and continents always moving.
11:16You go, plates! You go, continents!
11:24Welcome to the Molto Moment, all you science buffs!
11:28This is what Earth looked like 250 million years ago, when all of its continents were together!
11:36Throughout time, this super-big continent, Pangaea, broke apart into the continents that Earth has today!
11:44Who knows how it broke apart?
11:47Someone dropped it?
11:48No! It was because of plate tectonics! The movement of Earth's plates!
11:54The continents are part of the plates, so when the plates move, they move!
11:59Let's show this by cooking a cherry cobbler!
12:02The hot, gooey filling inside the cobbler is like the hot, gooey rock under Earth's plates!
12:08As you can see, as the crust moves apart, the filling rises up and comes through the pieces of crust
12:15on my cobbler!
12:17Just like the hot, gooey rock comes through Earth's plates!
12:21That moving crust sure looks tasty!
12:23You know, Molto, we don't like ice cream on our continents!
12:28But we sure do like it on our cobbler!
12:31Who doesn't? See you next time! Buh-bye!
