The video tutorial covers the concepts of weathering and erosion. Weathering is described as the breakdown of rocks and Earth materials, with both mechanical and chemical processes explained. Erosion is defined as the movement of Earth's materials from one place to another, with major agents like water, wind, waves, and glaciers briefly explored. The tutorial encourages viewers to observe everyday examples of these processes, such as weathered sidewalks or streams carrying sediment, to better understand the impact of weathering and erosion.
