Understanding Earthquakes

The video explains how earthquakes shape the Earth by causing rapid changes. It discusses the damage earthquakes can inflict, such as breaking the ground, collapsing buildings, and triggering floods. The video also covers how strong earthquakes can move land underwater, leading to tsunamis. Aftershocks, which are smaller quakes following the main event, are also explained. The video concludes with a call to action for viewers to engage with the content.
