Plate Boundaries and Tsunami Prediction

The video tutorial covers day three of an engineering internship focused on plate motion and tsunamis. Students are introduced to the Futura workspace and the importance of scientific communication. They research plate boundaries and tsunamis, annotate maps, and use the Tsunami Alert tool to predict earthquake and tsunami occurrences. The session concludes with a discussion on observed patterns and finalizing research findings.
