  1. 2. a vibration in the ground that results from movement along breaks in the Earth’s lithosphere
  2. 4. the point on the Earth’s surface directly above where an earthquake originates
  3. 6. energy that travels as vibrations on and in Earth; there are three types of seismic waves: primary waves (P waves), secondary waves (S waves), and surface waves
  4. 8. a large volcano with gentle slopes of basaltic lava that is common along divergent plate boundaries and oceanic hot spots
  5. 9. a large, steep-sided volcano that results from explosive eruptions and andesitic and rhyolitic lava and ash along convergent plate boundaries

  1. 1. a break in the Earth’s lithosphere where tectonic plates meet
  2. 3. the point within the Earth where an earthquake originates
  3. 5. a fast-moving wave of seawater caused by seismic activity in oceanic plates
  4. 7. a small, steep-sided volcano that erupts gas-rich, basaltic lava
