The facial nerve (cn vii) passes through the opening in the temporal bone called the stylomastoid foramen.

<h3>Stylomastoid foramen:</h3>

The foramen between the styloid and mastoid processes of the temporal bone of the skull is known as the stylomastoid foramen. It serves as the facial canal's terminus and carries the facial nerve and stylomastoid artery. Bell's palsy may be brought on by facial nerve irritation in the stylomastoid foramen. An unexplained episode of facial muscular paralysis or weakening is known as Bell's palsy. Over the course of 48 hours, it gets worse suddenly.

The stylomastoid foramen is where the 7th cranial nerve leaves the skull and enters the parotid gland at its deep surface. The nerve splits into two major branches, the temporofacial branch, and the cervicofacial branch, right next to the parotid duct.

Where would you most likely find transform boundaries on an earthquake distribution map?
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

1st One

Explanation:

The distribution of earthquakes across the globe is shown in Figure 11.7. It is relatively easy to see the relationships between earthquakes and the plate boundaries. Along divergent boundaries like the mid-Atlantic ridge and the East Pacific Rise, earthquakes are common, but restricted to a narrow zone close to the ridge, and consistently at less than 30 km depth. Shallow earthquakes are also common along transform faults, such as the San Andreas Fault. Along subduction zones, as we saw in Chapter 10, earthquakes are very abundant, and they are increasingly deep on the landward side of the subduction zone
