WED Processes and Eco Regions

The video tutorial explores the changes in Texas land, focusing on the effects of weathering, erosion, and deposition (WED) processes on the environment across different Eco regions. It explains how Texas is divided into 10 Eco regions based on ecological and geological features, such as topography, soil, and climate. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of understanding these features and how WED processes shape the landforms and soil in each region differently. Students are guided on how to take Cornell notes and are encouraged to summarize and ask questions about the material.
