i. a plain that sits above sea level and u
j. a violent shaking of earths crust

Explanation:

1. Solstice is the time of year when the sun's rays hit Earth in a particular way, so it matches B.
2. Tectonic plate is a section of Earth's crust, so it matches G.
3. Continental drift is the slow movement of landmasses, so it matches C.
4. Plain is a level area of land, so it matches A.
5. Plateau is a plain that sits above sea - level and usually has a more or less level surface, so it matches I.
6. Butte is a hill or mountain with steep sides and a flat top, so it matches F.
7. Continental shelf is the land at the edge of a continent that gently slopes underwater, so it matches D.
8. Earthquake is a violent shaking of Earth's crust, so it matches J.
9. Condensation is the process in which cooler temperatures cause water vapor to change into droplets, so it matches H.
10. Evaporation is the process in which the sun heats the ocean and water turns into vapor, so it matches E.
