Erosion's Impact on Earth's Landscape and Unique Features

The video explains how Earth's landscape has evolved over millions of years due to various natural processes, focusing on erosion. It details wind erosion, highlighting formations in Arizona and Utah, and water erosion, with examples like the Grand Canyon and the Old Man of Hoy. The video also provides tips on identifying erosion types and showcases global examples of these natural phenomena.
