The coordinated, rhythmic, serial contraction of smooth muscle that forces food through the digestive tract is called peristalsis. It is a series of contractions of the muscles that is wave like which moves the food into the different parts of the digestive system. It begins in the esophagus when a food is being swallowed. These are involuntary motion of the circular and longitudinal muscles. It happens in the esophagus, the stomach and the intestines. It is the central nervous system that initiates and controls this process. This motion is not only limited to the digestive tract but can also be found on other systems in the body.

Why do intraplate earthquakes tend to be less frequent and smaller than earthquakes at plate boundaries?
Inga [223]
Earthquakes on plate boundaries happen more because the plates all move in different directions in a tectonic environment so they collide against each other which makes them more frequent. Earthquakes rarely happen in intra-plate environments but along faults in normally stable interior of the plates. If this doesn't make sense, ask me to reword it for you !
