Attenuation
In physics, attenuation or, in some contexts, extinction is the gradual loss of flux intensity through a medium.

Convergent boundary
In plate tectonics, a convergent boundary, also known as a destructive plate boundary, is a region of active deformation where two or more tectonic plates or fragments of the lithosphere are near the end of their life cycle.

Dipole
In electromagnetism, there are two kinds of dipoles.

Earthquake
An earthquake (also known as a quake, tremor or temblor) is the shaking of the surface of the Earth, resulting from the sudden release of energy in the Earth's lithosphere that creates seismic waves.

Focal mechanism
The focal mechanism of an earthquake describes the deformation in the source region that generates the seismic waves.

Fracture
A fracture is the separation of an object or material into two or more pieces under the action of stress.

Hypocenter
A hypocenter (or hypocentre) (from ὑπόκεντρον for 'below the center') is the point of origin of an earthquake or a subsurface nuclear explosion.

Implosion (mechanical process)
Implosion is a process in which objects are destroyed by collapsing (or being squeezed in) on themselves.
