The video explains the dangers of tsunamis caused by subduction zone earthquakes. It describes how these events can lead to massive waves that travel fast and cause great damage. The Cascadia subduction zone in North America is overdue for such an earthquake, which could result in deadly tsunamis. The key to survival is quick reaction time and having a plan for evacuation.
