The correct matching is 1: C, 2: A, 3: D, 4: B.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Seismic shadow zone is an area on the surface of the earth where the waves cannot travel due to the presence of liquid.
  • Triangulation is the process which is used by the scientists to determine the epicenter of the earthquake.
  • Rayleigh waves cause motion in the deep earth both in horizontal and vertical motions.
  • Love wavers are the waves that cause motion in the deep earth in horizontal motion only.
