Describe how the three different types of seismic waves move and affect the movement of the material they pass over or through.

Seismic waves travel in all the directions and used to determine the magnitude of an earthquake. There are 3 types of seismic waves that move in different directions.
1. P wave: It is the fastest of all three waves that travel through the interior of the earth and are compressive waves.
2. S wave: Secondary waves generally follow the P waves and travel through the interior of the earth but are shearing waves.
3. Surface wave: This is the slowest of all three waves that moves close to the surface of the ground.

These waves affect the movement of other materials when they are passing through the interior or surface of the earth.
P waves can move through the solid rocks and even liquids. S waves do not travel through the  liquids such as water and molten magma. Surface waves causes shaking of the ground and do not go deep inside the earth.

What does each phase of mitosis look like
Sphinxa [80]
Interphase: You could not distinguish any parts of the cell.
Prophase: You could clearly see the chromosomes throughout the cell.
Metaphase: The chromosomes where lines up in the middle of the cell.
Anaphase: You could see the chromosomes were separated to ether side of the cell.
Telophase: The entire cell was separated to each side but was not split into its own cell.
Cytokinesis: In this step the cell had totally separated and there was now two separate daughter cells.

The muscular system is made up of Multiple choice question. all the muscles plus the nerves attached to them. all the muscles, l
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

all the muscles.

Explanation:

The muscular system is composed of all muscles in the body. The main function of the muscles is to produce movement in different parts, voluntary or involuntary, creating equilibrium. Muscles are made of myocytes. There are three types of muscles: smooth muscle,  skeletal muscle, and myocardium.

  • The smooth muscle is formed by fusiform cells, mononucleated, and no transversal striations. There is a protein contraction system, but not as organized as the one of the skeletal muscle.  

Smooth-muscle can be found in organs, vessels, veins, and arteries. It provides sustained contractions, slow and rhythmical, but not voluntary.  

  • Skeletal muscle is the most abundant muscle in vertebrates, constituting the somatic musculature. It proportionates motion to extremities and digits and is responsible for the position and posture of the individual. It is also involved in eye movements, respiration, mastication, deglutition, and phonation. It moves the tongue, the superior esophagus, and the pharynx.  

The skeletal muscle is innervated by axons of the motor neurons coming from the CNS. The contraction of the skeletal muscle is voluntary and fast.  

Cells composing the striated muscle are significantly long and multinucleated. They arrange in bundles, where cells are parallel to each other.  

  • Myocardium tissue is more similar to the striated tissue than to the smooth one. However, there are some differences between them. Cardiac cells are cylindrical and smaller, with ramifications. Cardiac cells only have one nucleus, and occasionally there can be two. Actin and myosin filaments are arranged just as the skeletal ones, and the contraction of cardiac cells is molecularly very similar to the skeletal
