Earth Science: Plate Tectonics and Processes

This video tutorial provides a comprehensive guide to geology, focusing on plate tectonic boundaries, including converging, divergent, and transform boundaries. It explains the processes of erosion, weathering, and deposition, and describes the Earth's layers: crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core. The tutorial concludes with a review and quiz on the discussed topics.
