Journey Through Earth's Tectonic Plates and Boundaries

The video explains the Earth's plate boundaries, which are divided into three types: convergent, divergent, and transform. Convergent boundaries involve plates pushing into each other, forming mountains or causing subduction, which can lead to ocean trenches and volcanic chains. Divergent boundaries occur when plates move apart, forming ridges like the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Transform boundaries involve plates sliding past each other, often causing earthquakes, as seen with the San Andreas Fault. A single tectonic plate can have multiple boundary types, exemplified by the Pacific Plate. The video concludes with an invitation to explore more about plate boundaries and mountains.
