The Formation of Earth and the Seven Continents

The video explains Earth's formation from dust and gas, leading to the creation of its core, mantle, and crust. It discusses volcanic activity, the formation of oceans, and the supercontinent Pangaea. The video defines continents by their continental shelves and explains tectonic plates' role in continental drift, which led to the current seven continents. It highlights cultural distinctions among continents, such as Europe and Asia, and concludes with a promise to explore each continent's characteristics.
