From class, earthquake is any shaking or rapid motion of the Earth's solid layer. the plate tectonics cause stress on rocks which leads to breakage and breakage causes energy which causes earthquake :) 

There are also different types of Earthquake waves such as P. Waves, S. Waves, and Surface Waves

-P.Waves: "Primary" or "push-pull" and it travel faster than other waves

-S. Waves: "Secondary" or "side-to-side" and it leaves the epicenter at the same time as the P. Waves but travel slower and it reaches the location after the
P.waves hit

-Surface wave is the strongest and it only travel on the crush. it is a combo of the P. and S. waves

An earthquake is the sudden release of energy from the crust of the Earth, that results in a seismic wave. Using a seismograph, the interior of the Earth is mapped, finding the epicenter (origin) and magnitude (strength) of the quake.

Answer:

The correct answer is B. <em>Philippine plate converging with the Pacific plate, forming Mariana Islands in the Pacific Ocean</em>

Explanation:

When two oceanic plates collide, it occurs oceanic convergence. The thicker and older plate subduces under the other plate, and at this point, it starts the volcanic activity. As the thicker plate descends, it is heated and melted and its materials are incorporated into the mantle. The fast subduction originates magma that ascends to the surface by crevices. This makes place to the formation of grouped volcanic islands, the island arches. Subduction zones coincide with deep-sea trenches or depressions in the ocean bed. The volcanic islands are arranged in a circumference arch shape, which is bordered by a fossa. Most of these are located in the western Pacific, where the pacific crust is older and thicker, and hence it submerges easier in the mantle.

The Mariana Islands in the Pacific Ocean are examples of these volcanic islands.

<h3>What is body homeostasis?</h3>

The term body homeostasis makes reference to the internal equilibrium (homeostasis) of the body.

Body homeostasis may involve the production of certain substances when they are not consumed from the diet.

In this case, it is possible to increase cholesterol levels by having certain healthy habits (food habits).

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer: muscle contraction of sustained force resulting from repeated action potentials. (Option A)

Explanation: Tetanus is also called physiologic tetanus. Tetanus refers to the contraction of the muscle, which is established when the motor nerve that supply nerves to a skeletal muscle produces action potentials at a very high degree.

However, tetanic contraction is usually a normal process (such as when carrying a heavy box). Also, muscles can be shorten, lengthen or remain constant length during tetanic contractions.
