CLEAN:What are the causes of the Yushu earthquake?

The video explains the movement of Earth's crust, focusing on the collision between India and Asia, which causes earthquakes. It discusses the randomness of earthquakes, the impact on human structures due to inadequate building standards, and the historical northward movement of India. This movement has led to the formation of the Tibetan mountains and ongoing geological activity.

What is the primary cause of the earthquakes discussed in the video?

• Volcanic eruptions

• Tectonic plate movements

• Meteor impacts

• Ocean currents

Why is it important to have strong building standards in earthquake-prone areas?

• To prevent building collapses and fatalities

• To increase property values

• To reduce construction costs

• To ensure buildings are aesthetically pleasing

How did the collision between India and Asia affect the Earth's crust?

• It resulted in the crust becoming thicker

• It caused the crust to become thinner

• It led to the formation of new oceans

• It had no significant impact

What geological feature is formed as a result of the collision between India and Asia?

• The Great Barrier Reef

• The Sahara Desert

• The Amazon Rainforest

• The Tibetan mountain ranges

What is the ongoing geological process mentioned in the video?

• The shrinking of the Sahara Desert

• The northward movement of India

• The melting of polar ice caps

• The expansion of the Atlantic Ocean
