Match the wave motion with the correct seismic wave.
 
  A) motion at Earth's surface that may move materials side to side, or up and down
  B) motion that involves compression and expansion of the material through which it passes; may pass through solids, liquids, and gases
  C) motion that involves oscillation perpendicular to the direction of propagation; only passes through solids
 
  13) P wave
  14) S wave
  15) Surface wave

Question 2

  B) valley formed from the downward displacement of a normal fault-bounded block
  C) a fault where the dominant displacement is horizontal and parallel to the strike of the fault surface
  D) a fault where the movement is parallel to the dip of the fault
  E) a low-angle (less than 45 degrees) reverse fault
  F) an elongated, uplifted block of crust bounded by normal faults
  G) vertical displacements along dipslip faults that may produce long, low cliffs
