#landforms
Every place on Earth has a shape.
Mountains. Plains. Plateaus. Canyons. Valleys.
All of them have names, all of them formed differently, and all of them are still being shaped right now.
In this video, we go through the major landforms on Earth - how they form, what makes each type different, and why the tallest mountain on Earth might not be the one you think.
What you'll learn:
- How mountains form
- tectonic plates vs volcanoes
- The difference between plains and plateaus (both flat, but very different)
- Why valleys are V or U shaped depending on what carved them
- Coastal and underwater landforms
- including the longest mountain range on Earth
- Why Mauna Kea is technically taller than Everest, why plains cover a third of Earth, and what peninsula means in Latin
