Answer 1 Deformation

Answer 2 Normal Fault

Answer 3 Pushes the rocks in two opposite, horizontal directions

Answer 4 An Earthquake

Answer 5 Compression

Answer 6 The rocks slide past each other in opposite directions with little up and down movement

Answer 7 This is where the Pacific Plate and North American Plate meet

Answer 8 From normal faults

Answer 9 From reverse faults

Answer 10 Focus

Answer 11 Aftershocks

Answer 12 L-Waves/Land Waves/Surface Waves

Answer 13 Anticline

Answer 14 The place on the surface above the focus

Answer 15 A downward fold in rocks

Answer 16 P-Waves/Primary Waves

Answer 17 A large wave of water that is caused by an earthquake

Answer 18 S-Waves/Secondary Waves

Answer 19 P-Wavs/Primary Waves

Answer 20 Magma

Answer 21 Along plate boundaries/subduction zones

Answer 22 A place not near a plate boundary where volcanoes form because the mantle is hotter in this area and burns through the crust

Answer 23 Island Arcs

Answer 24 Because it is less dense

Answer 25 The volcano will probably erupt soon

Answer 26 The volcanoes that form along the edge of the Pacific Plate

Answer 27 Active

Answer 28 A volcano that forms along a converging plate boundary where subduction is occurring

Answer 29 Extinct

Answer 30 Because when the plates collide, one is forced under the other, melts back into the mantle, and magma can force its way upwards
