The video explores the formation and growth of mountains. It begins with an introduction to mountains and their composition, explaining that they are made of Earth's crust, which is divided into tectonic plates. These plates move slowly, and when they collide, they push up land to form mountains and mountain ranges. The video highlights that some mountains, like Mount Everest, are still growing due to ongoing tectonic activity. It concludes by discussing how Earth's landscape will continue to change over millions of years and invites viewers to ask questions.
