Earth's Surface Changes and Processes

The video explores how Earth's surface changes through constructive and destructive forces, such as volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. It explains slow processes like weathering, erosion, and deposition, which shape landscapes over time. The Grand Canyon is highlighted as an example of these processes. The video also discusses technology like seismographs and GIS that help predict natural disasters.
