Answer:

The exposure of sea bed or undersea surface is called sea-level regression.

Explanation:

Sea-level regression occurs when sea level drops down due to several climatic changes. This triggers extinction of several species. There had been several mass extinctions in the past due to sea-level regression. 

Chances of survival of shallow water species become feeble when the sea level falls. In the case of mass extinctions regression can be seen as a symptom and not a cause.

Marine transgression is the opposite phenomena of regression where sea level rises and covers the land which was previously above the sea level.

Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

Since , abductions, particularly the minimus and gluteus medius , are active on the side of the leg which is in contact with the ground . This is to avoid the tendency of gravity to cause the downward motion of the hip on the opposite side . In addition, the lateral muscle and paraspinal muscles of the trunk are active on the side of the swinging leg to avoid the downward motion of iliac crest on side .
