Plate Tectonics

The video explains how the movement of tectonic plates, driven by convection currents within the Earth, leads to significant geological events such as earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain formation. It describes three types of plate boundaries: constructive, where plates move apart and new crust forms; collision, where plates push together forming mountains; and destructive, where one plate is forced under another causing subduction. Additionally, conservative boundaries, where plates slide past each other, can result in severe earthquakes. These processes continuously reshape the Earth's surface.
