Plate Tectonics and Boundaries

The video explores plate tectonic theory, explaining how Earth's landmass, Pangaea, split into continents. It covers convergent boundaries forming mountains and trenches, divergent boundaries creating rifts and ridges, and transform boundaries causing earthquakes. Examples include the Great Rift Valley, Mid-Atlantic Ridge, and San Andreas Fault. The video concludes with a reflection on geological formations.
