Answer 1

1. seismic : movement of the earth caused by shifting of tectonic plates.

2. hurricane : a severe whirling tropical storm.

3. rain shadow area : the leeward side of a mountain that receives less precipitation.

4. drainage basin : area where water accumulates before flowing into a body of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

• As per the query, the vocabulary of the regions is matched with the vocabulary of the palace or the geographic phenomenon and the diversity of the earth's geologic process.

• Thus the Seismic Zone is a zone where the crust moves and displaces the rocks to release the trapped gases in the form of volcanoes, or through fissure eruption.

• The hurricane is strong and violent temperate storms that have velocity exceeding 200 km per hour.

• A drainage is an area where the river collects the water and further drains into another body.

• Permafrost is the region of permanent snow and is an ancient deposit zone.

• The fall line is the line that marks the vertical limit of the waterfall to the ground under gravity.

• panhandle is a narrow strip of land that has excess to a large area.
