Las formaciones terrestres

The video explains the two main forces shaping landscapes: the Earth's internal heat and water. Tectonic activity causes mountain formation, while water erosion wears them down. Rivers transport sediments, contributing to landscape changes. Hills, plains, and plateaus form through various geological processes. Landscapes are dynamic, constantly altered by these forces.

What are the two main forces responsible for the formation of landscapes?

• Gravity and magnetism

• Sunlight and air pressure

• Internal heat and water

• Wind and fire

Which mountain range is NOT mentioned as a result of tectonic plate collision?

• The Andes

• The Himalayas

• The Alps

• The Rockies

How much sediment does the Amazon River transport to the ocean each year?

• 3000 million tons

• 2000 million tons

• 1000 million tons

• 500 million tons

What is a floodplain primarily formed by?

• River overflow

• Volcanic activity

• Glacial movement

• Wind erosion

Which landscape feature is formed from a series of erosion forces and was once under the ocean?

• Plain

• Hill

• Plateau

• Valley
