Earthquake Dynamics and Tectonic Plate Interactions

The video introduces earthquakes, explaining them as movements of tectonic plates. It describes how these plates form the Earth's surface and how their interactions cause earthquakes. The video covers the types of earthquakes, including convergent, divergent, and transform boundaries, and explains terms like hypocentre and epicenter. It also discusses the effects of earthquakes, how they are measured using a seismograph, and the potential for tsunamis. The video concludes with a light-hearted note, encouraging viewers to learn more.
