Landforms and Mountain Formation Concepts

The video explores various landforms, focusing on mountains. It explains that landforms are unique features of the Earth's surface, including valleys, hills, canyons, and plateaus. Mountains are highlighted as significant landforms, defined by their height and steepness, with Mount Everest being the tallest. The video describes how mountains form through tectonic plate collisions and volcanic eruptions, processes that occur over millions of years. It concludes by encouraging viewers to explore related videos for more information on landform creation.
