  14. Why They Happen for $500 This type of “rebound” occurs when blocks of the Earth “snap” to release tension. What is…?

  15. Elastic rebound Back toGame

  16. Where They Happen for $100 The “step” that sometimes occurs where tectonic plates have slipped.

  17. Fault scarp Back toGame

  18. Where They Happen for $200 A fault is an area of the Earth where this is present between two sections of the lithosphere. What is…?

  19. A crack or separation Back toGame

  21. Transform Back toGame

  22. Where They Happen for $400 An earthquake occurs when there is enough of this to overcome the friction between two sections of rock. What is…?

  23. Pressure, tension, or force. Back toGame

  24. Where They Happen for $500 This occurs when one tectonic plate goes under another one. It can cause earthquakes and volcanoes. What is…?
