Geography Concepts and Landforms

The video explores the concept of Pangea and the theory of continental drift, explaining how the continents were once a single supercontinent. It delves into plate tectonics, describing the different types of plate boundaries and their effects on Earth's surface. The video also provides an overview of the seven continents, highlighting their unique features. It explains various landforms and their formation processes, and discusses the four domains of Earth: lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere. Additionally, it covers glaciers and their role in climate change, and explores the tundra biome, emphasizing its unique adaptations.
