CLEAN:What are the causes of the Yushu earthquake?

The video discusses the movement of Earth's crust, focusing on the collision between India and Asia, which causes earthquakes. It explains the dynamics of these earthquakes, the impact on human structures due to inadequate building standards, and the geological history of India's northward movement. The video concludes with the effects of these collisions on the Tibetan mountains and the uncertainties surrounding them.

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

• Volcanic eruptions

• Tectonic plate movements

• Meteor impacts

• Ocean currents

Why do some areas suffer more damage during earthquakes?

• They have more vegetation

• They are closer to the equator

• They have poor building standards

• They are at higher altitudes

What analogy is used to describe the rising of the Tibetan mountains?

• An ice cube in water

• A tree growing

• A balloon inflating

• A sponge absorbing water

How has India's movement affected the Earth's crust?

• It has caused volcanic eruptions

• It has created new oceanic trenches

• It has thickened the Earth's crust

• It has reduced seismic activity

What is the result of the collision between India and Asia?

• Expansion of the Pacific Ocean

• Creation of the Himalayan mountain range

• Development of the Amazon rainforest

• Formation of the Sahara Desert
