The video explains how tectonic plates move due to convection currents caused by heat variations inside the Earth. These movements result in earthquakes, volcanoes, and the formation of mountains. Tectonic plates can move in three ways: separating to form constructive boundaries, colliding to create collision limits or subduction zones, and sliding past each other at conservative boundaries. Each type of movement has distinct geological effects, reshaping the Earth's surface over time.
