Final Regents Review: Earth Science Overview

This video is part of an Earth Science final review series, focusing on energy and weather. It covers energy concepts like heat transfer and specific heat, weather basics including the water cycle and humidity, and detailed explanations of air pressure, wind, and weather systems. The video also discusses weather phenomena such as fronts, hurricanes, and tornadoes, providing practical examples and tips for understanding these concepts.
