Iran Earthquake Update; Nuclear Test? Geologist Analysis

A magnitude 5.1 earthquake just struck Iran, leading to many people speculating it might be the result of a nuclear test. As a geologist, I decided to set the record straight by analyzing multiple factors to explain why this earthquake was purely tectonic and not the result of an explosion. In today's video is also an explanation of how to identify earthquakes generated by nuclear weapons explosions.
