Plate Tectonics

The video explains the theory of plate tectonics, detailing how Earth's crust is divided into plates that move due to convection currents in the mantle. It covers different types of plate boundaries, such as divergent, convergent, and transform, and their geological effects, including the formation of oceans, mountains, and earthquakes. The video also discusses the historical movement of continents, the creation of the Atlantic Ocean, and the concept of hot spots like Hawaii. It concludes with a look at Earth's geological history, including the breakup of Pangaea.
