can travel through the earth
Body Wave
12
travels quickly through the Earth and through liquid

move as shear or transverse wave, and force the ground to sway from
side to side, in rolling motion that shakes the ground back and forth
perpendicular to the direction of the waves

can only travel through the surface of the earth
Surface Wave
15
most of the shaking felt from an earthquake is due to this wav
Rayleigh Wave

24
A mountain or hill, typically conical, having a crater or vent through which lava, rock
fragments, hot vapor and gas is being or have been erupted from the earth's crust.

a break or crack in a plate along which movement has occur.
Fault
37
– takes place when two plates collide
Convergent Plate Boundary
38
formed when two plates move apart
Divergent Plate Boundary
39
a vertical space that extend deep down into the lowest layer of the crust as plates pull away from each other.
Rift Valley
40
caused by the force of separation of plates.
Tension Zone
