MinuteEarth Explains: Water

The video explores Earth's unique water coverage, tracing its origins to meteoroids and comets. It explains cloud formation through atmospheric processes and the physics behind it. The video also delves into river meandering, explaining how rivers change course over time, forming oxbow lakes. Finally, it discusses inverted relief on Mars, a geological process that turns landscapes inside out, providing insights into Martian topography.
