If you look out your window, youll probably notice a bunch of things; houses, streets... hopefully, a tree. But beyond that, youll see things like mountains, rivers, volcanoes... well, hopefully not a volcano. These are landforms and they come in different varieties. In this episode, Sabrina chats about how things like mountains, volcanoes, and plateaus come into being.

This first series is based on 5th-grade science. Were super excited and hope you enjoy Crash Course Kids!
