How Does the Earth Create Different Landforms?: Crash Course Geography #20

Cliffs and canyons, beaches and dunes, floodplains and river valleys, plateaus and mountains — these are all products of a restless Earth. In today’s episode, we’re going to take a closer look at how landforms greatly influence how people live and derive meaning and a sense of place. From the hills and ponds we see every day to impressive landscapes like Uluru in Australia or the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia they all have stories to tell.
