Terremoto

The video tutorial explains earthquakes, their causes, and how they are measured. It covers the role of tectonic plates and fault lines, with a focus on the San Andreas Fault. The tutorial also discusses the measurement of earthquakes using the Richter scale and the concept of the epicenter. Additionally, it touches on volcanic earthquakes and their detection through sensitive instruments.

What happens when tectonic plates get stuck?

• They eventually move, causing an earthquake

• They create new landforms
