Question

1. aftershocks
process of heat transfer by the circulation or movement of a gas, liquid, or plastic material
2. body waves
wet soil behaves like a liquid and is no longer able to support buildings during an earthquake
3. convection
location on the earth's surface directly over the focus of an earthquake
4. elastic rebound
smaller earthquakes that occur after a major earthquake
5. epicenter
waves that travel through the interior of Earth; there are two types: primary and secondary waves
6. focus
specific point in the earth where the rock layers along a fault move, producing an earthquake
7. liquefaction
immediate return of deformed rock to its natural shape

Answer 1

Here is the matching of the items in the left column to the items in the right column:

1. aftershocks - smaller earthquakes that occur after a major earthquake
2. body waves - waves that travel through the interior of Earth; there are two types: primary and secondary waves
3. convection - process of heat transfer by the circulation or movement of a gas, liquid, or plastic material
4. elastic rebound - immediate return of deformed rock to its natural shape
5. epicenter - location on the earth's surface directly over the focus of an earthquake
6. focus - specific point in the earth where the rock layers along a fault move, producing an earthquake
7. liquefaction - wet soil behaves like a liquid and is no longer able to support buildings during an earthquake
