1) The continental rise lies at the top of the continental slope.
2) Horizontal vibrations, such as induced by strike-slip faulting, are generally much more dangerous to tall buildings than vertical up and down ground shaking.
3) In general, P- and S-wave velocities increase abruptly as the waves pass downward across the crust-mantle boundary.
4) In general, cinder cones are much larger than shield volcanoes.
5) In general, seafloor sediments gradually thicken away from a mid-ocean ridge.
