The first two installments are nice and had some geologic facts suitable for kids, if you know them beforehand:)
I told you about the Zanclean flood after the Messinian salinity crisis which re-flooded the Med. Similar thing happened at the end of the last ice age during Younger Dryas, when the ice dam of Pleistocene glacial lake Missoula broke and a catastrophic flood swept large amounts of Oregon and Washington along the Columbia river drainage
Our existence as a species is tiny compared to earth history. Last 10K years have been very quiet and we thrived at that time. 95% of the population can't survive a simple disaster like some of the one I describe here:) No matter where in the world in happens. This is a fact.
PS. This is also a fact that average human lifespan is even smaller. Chances are slim that you will see something meaningful geologically in the next 50 years :)

Or we live in a gap of big stuff and a currently skating on thin ice :)
