Over millions of years, water has shaped landscapes all around the globe – but how? From the smallest stream to the largest ocean, explore the power of water.

Water has an enormous impact on our world. Millions of years of erosion by rivers, glaciers and seas has formed many of the landscapes we see today, and many of our most important cities are located by the water.
