For sure, 10 minutes isn't much time, as that's a huge subject, so you'll of necessity need to do a rather broad overview, but take your time and practice speaking/enunciating clearly. I wouldn't make your submission a verbatim transcript of your talk; just give the outline - unless they're specifically looking for that, which seems unlikely.
