The Earth rumbles and a hiss of steam issues from the top of Mt Ruapehu. Are these two events related? Is the earthquake caused by the volcano? Or is the steam caused by the earthquake?
Tectonic plates
When Alfred Wegener first proposed the idea of continental drift (the precursor idea to plate tectonic theory), it didn’t quite explain the full story. While he correctly showed that Africa and South America fitted together, his model wasn’t able to explain the violent forces that occur around the Earth’scrust.
Answer:
Explanation:
5. The earth’s surface from the edge of the continent to the deep of the ocean
Continental shelf
The continental shelf is a part of the seafloor. This is closest portion of the seafloor to the land.
6. The rock portion of the earth’s surface
lithosphere
The lithosphere is made up of the crust and upper part of the mantle. Most of the rocks on earth are found in the lithosphere. Below the lithosphere is the asthenosphere
7. The part of the earth where plants and animals live
biosphere

8. A fracture in the earth’s crust
Faults
A fault is a fracture within the earth's crust. It is formed as a result of brittle deformation of the earth.
9. Underground water-bearing layers of porous rock, sand or gravel
Aquifer
An aquifer is a porous and permeable formation within the earth that bears ground water.
10. To remove the salt from ocean water or groundwater
Desalination
In areas where the only source of water is ocean water, desalination is important because the saltiness of the water can be removed by this process.
