The video explains how stress builds up in Earth's crust and is released as earthquakes, using the elastic rebound theory. This theory describes how energy is stored in rocks and released, causing ground movement. Earth's crust consists of plates that slide past each other, creating friction and stress. When the stress exceeds the rocks' capacity, energy is released as seismic waves. The San Andreas Fault is highlighted as a case study, showing how accumulated strain can predict future earthquakes.
