Earthquakes To The Core--Researchers Drill Down At The Epicenter

The video discusses the efforts of scientists to study earthquakes by drilling into tectonic plate boundaries at a test site in Parkfield, CA. The research aims to understand fault zones and simulate earthquake conditions in a lab to better predict when and where earthquakes might occur. The ultimate goal is to forecast earthquakes to save lives, especially in areas with active fault lines.
