High Five Facts - Tectonic plates

The video tutorial covers five key facts about tectonic plates. It begins with an introduction to tectonic plates, explaining their composition and types. The video then describes the three types of plate movements: divergent, convergent, and transform boundaries, and their effects on the Earth's surface. It lists the major and minor tectonic plates and discusses the historical supercontinent Pangaea. The video also explores the relationship between tectonic plates and natural phenomena like volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis, particularly in the Ring of Fire. Finally, it introduces Alfred Wegener's continental drift theory, explaining how tectonic plates move over millions of years.
