Explanation / Answer

southern supercontinent which had a large ice-cap, dispersed some 150 Ma - Gondwanaland

example of a subduction-arc complex, a convergent plate boundary - Andes

glassy fault rock representing frictional melting during sudden slip. - pseudotachylite

oxygen poor conditions in which decay is slow, e.g. bottom swamp waters - euxinic

fabric created in rock during deformation and reflecting the strain - foliation

waxy organic material in rocks that serves as a good oil source roc -  kerogen

distribution of forces inside a body that cause internal deformation. - stress

travels through solid and liquid, an elastic deformation, fastest - p waves

example of a seafloor spreading center emergent because of hotspot overprint - iceland

area of maximum seepage of rainfall and recharge of Ogallala High Plains aquifer - sandhills

allows high experimental P to be reached so can model deep interior changes - diamond anvil

geologic unit at depth that can serve as a groundwater resource - aquifer

travels only through solid, an elastic deformation, slower - swave

example of a transcurrent plate boundary with abundant strike-slip faults - san andreas

due to blockage or refraction of seismic waves at core/mantle interface - shadow zone
