Ancient Landscapes

Ancient landscapes refer to the physical features and environments of the Earth as they existed in the distant past. They include formations like mountains, valleys, rivers, seas, and deserts, shaped over millions of years by processes such as erosion, volcanic activity, and tectonic movements. Studying these landscapes helps us understand how the Earth's surface has changed over time and provides clues about past climates, ecosystems, and geological events. By examining rocks, fossils, and landforms, scientists reconstruct what ancient environments were like, offering insights into Earth's geological history and the development of life.
