When does light cross a boundary but not refract?
This happens if the light makes a 90 degree angle with the boundary (hits is straight on), so it just keeps going in a straight line.
What happens as light moves from one transparent material into a different transparent material?
IF the refractive indexes of the two materials are not the same number, and IF the light is not traveling perpendicular to the boundary between them, then the direction of the light will change at the boundary. This happens because of the slight difference in the speed of light in the two materials. The process is called "refraction" of light. Without it, eyes and other lenses would not work.
What happens to light when opaque meets a transparent material?
shadow formed on the other side of transparent material
The bouncing back of a wave as it meets surface or boundary is called?

Can light reflected and transmitted at a boundary?
A boundary could be a mirror or shiny surface, so light would be reflected.

What happens to light when it strikes the boundary of the two media an angle equal to the critical angle?
It gets refracted so that its direction of propagation is the boundary line.
What happens to light when it strikes clear glass?
The light that does not cross the boundary is reflected back into the glass. (Or back into the air, if that is where it started.)
What is a continentality?
A continental slide is the new crust on the earth surface. It happens when two plates below the earth surfaces meets and the boundary became deep trenches.

What type of plate boundary boundary is regular light tremor?
I think regular light tremors is a divergent plate boundary.
Is the southern part of north America a land link to south America?
Yes. The boundary between the continents is the southern boundary of Panama, which meets the northern boundary of Colombia.
What happens to the speed of light in oil and in a glass?
Nothing happens to it. The speed of light is constant as long as it stays in the oil, and although it changes as it crosses the boundary from one to the other, it stays constant again once it's in the glass.
