The video tutorial begins with an explanation of the theory of continental drift, which suggests that Earth's continents have moved over time. Alfred Vagner's evidence supporting this theory is discussed. The tutorial then transitions to the modern theory of plate tectonics, which posits that Earth's surface is composed of tectonic plates that interact to form features like ridges, volcanoes, mountains, and earthquakes.
