In this clip from "Dangerous Planet," a massive earthquake in Gujarat gets traced back to two of the world's largest tectonic plates: the Indo-Australian Plate and the Eurasian Plate. As these plates come together, they cause a massive amount of upward pressure, this results either in earthquakes like the one that struck Gujarat or it creates new land masses. In fact, over the last 60 million years the movement of these two huge plates have been responsible for creating the world's greatest mountain range, the Himalayas.
From extreme weather to the world's largest natural disasters, the sheer force of mother nature can be astounding. "Dangerous Planet" shows what happens when natural forces come into conflict with humans - often with devastating results.

The last one was around 74,000 years ago, and that came 2 million years after a massive eruption in what later became Yellowstone Park.
