Answer:

Seismic waves

Explanation:

The seismic P and S waves are two waves that releases energy during propagation, resulting in the sudden shaking of the earth, which is commonly known as the earthquake.

The point from which the earthquake originates, is known as the focus and the location that is directly above the focus, on the ground surface is known as the epicenter.

The P waves and S waves are primary and secondary waves respectively. The P waves are characterized by the contraction and expansion in its direction of propagation. Whereas the S waves are shear waves.

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

C.)organs are a group of two or more different types of tissues that work together to perform a specific function

Explanation:

Cells of similar function are grouped together into tissues. For example, cardiac muscle tissue is present only in the heart, and made up of specialised cells called cardiomyocytes, or cardiac muscle cells. These cells contract to pump blood around the body.

The heart is an organ, consisting of multiple types of tissue including cardiac muscle tissue, connective tissue, blood vessels and epithelial tissue. Therefore, organs represent a group of at least two types of tissue that work together to carry out functions in the body.
