The video explores how Earth's landscapes are constantly changing due to forces like wind, water, plants, ice, and animals. It delves into the processes of weathering, erosion, and deposition, explaining how each contributes to shaping the environment. Weathering breaks down rocks into smaller pieces, erosion moves these sediments, and deposition settles them in new locations, forming new landforms. The video also provides resources for further exploration and encourages viewers to engage with more Earth Science content.
