Answer:

I can only define a few of them, hope you don't mind.

Seismic- It means connected with or caused by earthquakes

Epicenter- It means the point on the earth's surface where the effects of an earthquake are most felt strongly.

Fault- A place where there is a break that is longer than usual in the layers of rock in the earth's crust.

Tectonic waves- Waves connected with the structure of the earth's surface.

Plate boundaries- The boundaries that differentiates the large sheets of rock (called PLATES) that form the earth's surface. Plate tectonics is the movement of the large sheets of rocks that form the earth's surface
