3. It's because of the heat underneath the crust of the Earth. Because heat rises, the molten rock and such underneath the crust rises to the top and then the movement underneath causes things on top to move.
4. Plates are the different sections that the lithosphere has been cracked into. These plates once all fit together as a giant plate called Pangaea.
5. An earthquake is a sudden, sometimes violent shaking of the ground, as a result of the shifting of tectonic plates, or volcanic eruption.
6. On the magnitude scale, earthquakes range from 2.5 or less (usually never felt but strong enough to be detected by seismograph) to 8.0 or higher. Causes extreme damage; enough to destroy whole cities at once if close enough to the epicenter.
7. Depends on what kind you're looking for. I'd look it up for your specific topic.
8. To apply a forces to something, usually resulting in a stretch.
9. The action of compressing something, to flatten or squeeze by pressure
10. A strain on the layers of something because of pressure, resulting in the shifting of those layers.
11. In areas undergoing extension or stretching. It's when the crust is extended.
12. The hanging wall drops relative to the footwall.
13. This is what happens when the hanging wall <u>rises</u> relative to the footwall. (The opposite of a normal fault)
14.
Make sure you are eye level with the meniscus of the liquid level, and measure to the bottom of the meniscus.

Answer:
C & D
Explanation:
C - The Sun has an 11 year solar cycle. When the solar cycle is at a <em>minimum</em>, active regions of the sun are rare and not many solar flares are detected. They dramatically increase as the Sun approaches the <em>maximum</em> part of its cycle.
D - It's the Sun. It's moody. Solar flares are pretty sporadic, they're sudden and often unpredictable.
