Answer:

1. fault - earthquake

A fault is a thin zone of crushed rock separating blocks of the earth's crust. An earthquake is the result of a sudden release of stored energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves.

2. focus - epicenter

The focus is an underground place where earthquakes starts. Epicenters are vertically above the focus.

3. seismograph - seismogram

A seismogram is a written or digital record of an earthquake while seismographs are the main instruments in the analysts which survey earthquakes and those that map the Earth's within.

4. tsunami - liquefaction

Tsunamis are a series of waves in a water body caused by the displacement of a large volume of water, often because of earthquakes. Liquefaction is where saturated soil loses strength and stiffness and behaves like in a liquid form.

5. magnitude - intensity

Magnitude is the calculated size of the earthquake determined by a seismograph. The intensity of an earthquake is determined by the amount of shaking at a particular location.
