Wind and Water Erosion

The video explores how Earth's landscape has been shaped over millions of years by natural processes like erosion. It explains the differences between wind and water erosion, providing examples such as The Wave in the U.S. and the Grand Canyon. The video also discusses how to identify the type of erosion based on the presence of water sources and highlights various global examples of erosion-formed landscapes.
