The correct answer is: the wail of a loud car alarm. 
Sensory adaptation is a term that refers to the changes that stimuli can trigger on the sensory receptors. The process involves changes in the receptors' sensitivity and it is believed that all of the senses exhibit this adaptation. In particular, the sense of touch can quickly adapt to hot and cold stimulation, but not when the stimulus is extremely intense (such as too hot or too cold). Also, our olfactory sense presents the characteristic of odour fatigue. A prolonged exposure to a specific smell leads to a temporary inability to sense this smell and this is a type of sensory adaptation. Finally,
our hearing undergoes a sensory adaptation as well, but not when it comes to sudden, unexpected and instantaneous loud noises. That is why the wail of a loud car alarm will be the least likely to cause sensory adaptation.

Answer:

Sinkholes can occur when<u> excessive water use lowers a water table and weakens the substrate.</u>

Explanation:

There are various causes for sinkholes, but all are related to water and how this can affect the soil. One of the causes of sinkholes is the excessive use of water. Excessive use lowers the volume of water in aquifers. As a consequence, the substrates that are above the aquifer change. They can not support large amounts of weight, leading to a sinkhole and soil with low permeability.

Identify early ideas about evolution?
Setler79 [48]

Explanation:

Naturalists began to focus on the variability of species; the emergence of paleontology with the concept of extinction further undermined static views of nature. In the early 19th century Jean-Baptiste Lamarck (1744–1829) proposed his theory of the transmutation of species, the first fully formed theory of evolution.

In classical Latin, though, evolution had first denoted the unrolling of a scroll, and by the early 17th century, the English word evolution was often applied to 'the process of unrolling, opening out, or revealing'. It is this aspect of its application which may have been behind Darwin's reluctance to use the term.
