This episode begins in Japan, where Sakurajima, a volcano off the southern coast, is constantly erupting and leads researchers to better prediction models. In the Aleutian Islands and the on southern tip of South America, geologists are working to predict earthquakes in conjunction with archaeologists who determine past earthquake history. When the earth moves, residents from Japan to Hawaii to Chile rely on prediction to save them from tsunamis. In Colombia, the eruption of volcanoes bury villages, which leads to more government involvement in prediction. This series goes beneath the scientific surface to explore the ways the Pacific Rim cultures cope with the seismic and volcanic violence that frequents their world. 511 0 $a Narrated by Bill Kurtis. 650 0 $a Volcanoes $z Pacific Area. 650 0 $a Earthquakes $z Pacific Area. 650 0 $a Tsunamis $z Pacific Area. 651 00 $a Pacific Area $x Social life and customs. 651 00 $a Pacific Area $x History. 650 0 $a Volcanic activity prediction $z Sakura Island. $z Sakura Island. 650 0 $a Earthquake prediction $z Aleutian Islands. $z Aleutian Islands. 650 0 $a Earthquake prediction $z Tierra del Fuego (Argentina and Chile) 650 0 $a Volcanoes $z Colombia. 655 0 $a Documentary films. 700 0 $a Kurtis, Bill. 710 2 $a Pacific Rim Co-Production Association. 710 0 $a KCTS (Television station : Seattle, Wash.) 710 2 $a Australian Broadcasting Corporation. 710 2 $a Television New Zealand. 710 2 $a Nihon H¿âs¿â Ky¿âkai. 710 2 $a Ambrose Video Publishing. 830 0 $a Fire on the rim ; $v episode 3. 941 $a 1 945 $a vhs 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160820124439.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=08C487C066A111E6BC78B878DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
