The type of plate boundary that yields trenches

The point below the earths surface at which the earthquake contact/slip occurs.

the type of boundary that yields rifts and ridges <- -> (apart from each other)

The first and FASTEST, earthquake waves which are compressional waves pushing and pulling the earth

the surface location directly overhead of the focus of an earthquake

Earthquake waves that are slower mostly sub-surface useful in determining the epicenter.
