Printed "land", the speaker says "crust"

Explanation: Listen again to "Earth's crust and an earthquake". Both words start with different letters, so listen to the whole word.

Printed "captures", the speaker says "occure"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "occure from the Earth's". The printed and spoken words start with different letters, so focus on the start.

Printed "downloading", the speaker says "down"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "vertically down to the". Both words start with the same letter, but the spoken word is much shorter.

Printed "transforms", the speaker says "transfer"

Explanation: The speaker says "and transfer through epicenter", not "transforms". The first letter is the same, so wait for the whole word.

Printed "far", the speaker says "down"

Explanation: Listen for "looking down from the". The two words start with different letters, so listen to the beginning of the word.

"epicenter" matches the audio
