Understanding the Richter Scale vs. Moment Magnitude Scale

This video explores the dynamics of tectonic movements and how they contribute to major seismic faults around the world. We dive into the science behind earthquake forecasting and the potential earthquake damage caused by shifts in tectonic plates. With insights into seismic tremors and natural hazards, we show how understanding plate tectonics can help us predict seismic intensity and manage earthquake risk. We also discuss the importance of emergency planning and how tectonic forces shape our world, focusing on both scientific theory and practical preparedness.
