Exploring Different Types of Landforms

The video explores various landforms, including mountains, valleys, plateaus, volcanoes, deserts, islands, and deltas. It explains how these landforms are shaped by natural forces like wind, water, and magma. The Earth's spheres, such as the geosphere and hydrosphere, play a role in these processes. The video highlights the dynamic nature of Earth's surface and the different ways landforms can form, emphasizing their significance in shaping the planet.
