The video explores the ocean floor, focusing on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the concept of seafloor spreading. It explains how magma forms new crust, pushing plates apart at divergent boundaries, like in Iceland. The video also covers convergent boundaries, where oceanic plates subduct under continental plates, forming trenches, mountains, and causing earthquakes and tsunamis. The Pacific Ring of Fire is highlighted as a key area of volcanic activity. The video concludes with a review of these geological processes.
