Explanation:

Earthquakes occur when elastic energy is accumulated slowly within the Earth's crust as a result of plate motions and then released suddenly at fractures in the crust called faults. The released energy travels in the form of waves called seismic waves. They always start at the focus. (A focus is where an earthquakes starting place.) The the power would start to travel and hit the  epicenter, an epicenter is the point on land directly above the focus, soon on the surface. There are three types of earthquakes, the Primary, Secondary, and surface waves. Primary waves cause the rocks they pass through to change in volume. These waves are the fastest traveling seismic waves and can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. Also called P wave See Note at earthquake. Secondary waves start at the same time as primary waves. Secondary waves travel through Earth's interior at about half the speed of primary waves. Secondary waves are also called S waves. And Surface wave is a mechanical wave that propagates along the interface between differing media. A common example is gravity waves along the surface of liquids, such as ocean waves. Gravity waves can also occur within liquids, at the interface between two fluids with different densities.

Ocean current direction is influenced by
Brrunno [24]

Answer: C. Prevailing winds

Explanation:

Several factors influence the direction of the sea current, and the prevailing wind is one of them. Surface winds are certainly one of the most critical factors affecting the direction of movement. In addition to this factor, the evolution of the sea current is also influenced by the earth's rotation, temperature, the attractive force of the moon and river flows.

A light skinned person may appear pink when they become over heated. the best explanation for this is ________. the heart is pum
lana [24]
The correct answer is "<span>the blood vessels of the dermis have undergone vasodilation, bringing a greater volume of blood to the skin"

This is because heat signals the temperature regulating center of the hypothalamus then the hypothalamus will respond to that signal by activating the sympathetic nervous system causing the vasodilation of the cutaneous blood vessels leading to more blood flow essentially cooling the skin by letting more heat to the outside environment.</span>
