Understanding Plate Tectonics and Tsunamis

The video tutorial covers the Amplify Science Plate Motion Engineering Internship, focusing on researching plate motion and tsunamis. It begins with an introduction to the daily agenda and note-taking, followed by a video on scientific communication. The main activity involves mapping plate boundaries using transparencies to collect earthquake data. The lesson emphasizes understanding the relationship between plate motion, earthquakes, and tsunamis, and concludes with a review of the day's tasks.
