Cause, Effect or Response :Liquefaction ( is a phenomenon in which the strength and stiffness of a soil is reduced by earthquake shaking or other rapid loading)
Effect
Name a plate boundary where two plates of similar density collide (continental/continental)
Collision boundary
Cause, Effect or Response: A small volcanic eruption was recorded nearby after the earthquake
Effect
