What Causes Earthquakes?

The video explains that everything around us, including the ground, is constantly moving. The Earth's crust is made up of plates that move slowly, causing earthquakes when they interact at faults. Pressure builds up when plates get stuck, leading to sudden movements and shaking. The Earth's structure, including its layers and crust, plays a crucial role in these processes.

Describe how the Earth's crust is structured and what it consists of.
