Continents
A Journey around the World
Continents are continuous expanses of land that are clearly separated from each other by oceans.
The land masses are divided into seven continents:
North America, South America, Africa, Europe, Asia, Australia and Antarctica.
These continents are constantly moving.
About 260 million years ago, there was a huge continent which united all large plates of the Earth’s crust.
On this enormous continent called Pangaea, the time of the dinosaurs started about 230 million years ago.
Pangaea began to break up. Two land masses formed called Laurasia in the north and Gondwana in the south.
150 to 70 million years ago, Laurasia and Gondwana broke up further into individual land areas in which today’s continents can already be recognised.
Back then, these continents were much closer together.
So new oceans formed in the spaces in between them,

1. What Is Beautiful?
Product Piracy
Counterfeiting takes place in almost all economic sectors – textiles, watches, car parts, machine parts, tools, accessories, software and medicines. Some counterfeits are easy to recognise, others are so well-executed that even experts have difficulty distinguishing between original and imitation. This DVD covers the development of a product from idea to manufacture. Once a product has become a trademark, product pirates appear on the scene.
Ceramic
Ceramics are indispensable in our everyday lives. We eat from ceramic plates, drink from ceramic cups, use tiled ceramic bathrooms. But how is ceramic manufactured? The film reveals the secrets of this fascinating material! We get to know more about the beginnings of ceramic in the Old World of Egypt and Mesopotamia, about Greece, China and Rome. We gain interesting insights into the valuable earthenware and are also shown the exquisite further development of the "white gold". Today this versatile material is irreplaceable in industry, too. Whether in space or as an easily compatible substitute in medicine, ceramic is applied in many places.
