Understanding Landslides, Weathering and Erosion
11:12 - 18:35 (07:23)
Landslides, erosion and weathering are the result of years of slow and steady processes. Extreme environments with excessive rain, snow, heat, cold, water and oxygen contribute to these processes which result in material getting transported or wearing down.
