Shake Things Up

The video explains earthquakes, caused by tectonic plates moving and releasing energy as seismic waves. It covers how earthquakes are measured using the Richter and Mercali scales, and provides safety tips for earthquake preparedness. The Richter scale measures magnitude based on seismic wave amplitude, while the Mercali scale assesses intensity based on human observations. The video emphasizes the importance of being prepared for earthquakes, as they are unpredictable.
