A Perfect Planet 4K UHD + Blu-Ray (import)

Planet Earth is perfect. Everything in our world—its size, distance from the sun, rotation and tilt, its moon— is perfectly suited to our existence, and our planet's natural forces nourish life in a perfect way. A global weather system circulates and distributes fresh water to all corners of the globe, ocean currents deliver nutrients to even the deepest parts of the sea, sunlight warms and energizes everything it touches, and powerful volcanoes create and fertilize the soil. As a result, there is literally no part of our planet where life cannot be found. Without volcanoes, life on Earth would never have begun. They are responsible for both our breathable atmosphere and our oceans. Mineral-rich ash from regular eruptions fertilizes the soil. They are the architects of the planet; over 80% of the Earth's surface is the result of magma rising from its molten interior, providing a platform for life.

Life on our planet is powered by solar energy. Every part of the Earth's surface receives 4,380 hours of sunlight per year, but at varying intensities depending on where you are: a variation that drives much of the natural world.

Water is essential for all life. Our perfect planet has this precious resource in abundance—but most of it is in the form of seawater, which is too salty to be used by land-based organisms. In fact, only 3% of all water on Earth is fresh water, and almost all of this is bound in ice or hidden in underground aquifers. Only a small fraction of our planet's water is found in rivers and lakes where it is available to the amazing diversity of life on land— and it is only available thanks to our planet's weather, as weather is the force that distributes this fresh water throughout the world.

The oceans are the largest ecosystem on Earth, covering two-thirds of our world's surface and providing half of the oxygen in our atmosphere. They are home to as much as 80% of all life on Earth, and nearly three billion people depend on them as their primary source of food.

Our home, a blue glowing beacon of life, hangs alone in the cosmos. The only living world we know. Life on our planet is shaped by the natural forces of the Earth, but there is a new force, a force so powerful that it upsets the balance of life on Earth and threatens our perfect planet—that force is us.
