Evolution of Stunning Landforms & Weathering

Weathering & erosion can sometimes appear to be mundane, ordinary and even boring. The evolution of spectacular landforms like those found in the American & Canadian West are the result or mechanical & physical weathering process that takes place over millions of years. But the slow process of weathering can lead to extraordinary landforms & landscapes. Mass wasting, which could be a sudden weathering event or within a person's lifetime, can also result in dramatic landscapes. Included are aerial and flying scenes. This video explores common physical geography & earth science terms & concepts, such as mechanical and chemical weathering, jointing, faulting, biological weathering, frost wedging, glaciation, salt wedging, exfoliation, carbonation, hydrolysis, spheroidal weathering, oxidation and differential weather. Case studies include Banff, Canada, Yosemite, and the American River Canyon of Northern California.
