The video tutorial explains how the Earth's crust can be altered through the movement of tectonic plates. It introduces four main types of plate boundaries: constructive, destructive, collision, and conservative. Constructive boundaries involve plates moving apart to form new rock. Destructive boundaries occur when one plate is pushed under another. Collision boundaries result in plates pushing together, causing the crust to crumple upwards. Conservative boundaries involve plates sliding past each other.
