Earthquakes Probably Won't Destroy Us in 2018

The video discusses recent research on earthquake prediction, highlighting the role of tectonic plates and faults. It explores patterns in earthquake occurrences, potentially linked to Earth's rotation changes. The challenges of seismology are emphasized, noting the difficulty in predicting earthquakes accurately. Human activities, such as natural gas extraction, are also examined for their impact on earthquake frequency, particularly in the central US.
