Erosion

The video tutorial explains erosion, a process where rocks and sediments are moved by natural forces like water, wind, and ice. It discusses how erosion shapes landscapes, such as beaches and canyons, and how it can build new landforms. The tutorial also covers weathering, which breaks down rocks into smaller pieces, enabling erosion to transport them. Examples include the Grand Canyon and the Mississippi River delta. The video highlights the types of weathering: mechanical, chemical, and organic.
