5 0

Answer:

Option C, At a subduction zone, oceanic crust is forced deep into the Earth.

Explanation:

At sub-duction zone, the dense oceanic plates coincides with the less dense continental plates and thus sink below the continental plates. Sometimes these oceanic plates being dense, sink to greater depth with in the earth’s mantle. The sub-duction zone causes  earth quakes of high intensity when oceanic crust penetrates to greater depths of earth crust as they tend to change the rheology of the earths’ mantle and also causes bending of plates

Hence, option C is correct

Assoli18 [71]

Answer: A.it is a relatively new human adaptation.

Explanation:

Fight or flight response is a response shown by a human or animal body towards acute stress. It is a physiological reaction that occurs in response to the perceived attack, survival threat and attack. The animals or humans react to threats by the hormonal secretion from sympathetic nervous system. This prepared animals for fighting. The hormonal secretions like catecholamines, epinephrine and nonepinephrine helps in generation of response. Neurotransmitters dopamine, estrogen, testosteron e and cortisol affects how organisms react to the stress.

Fight-or-flight reaction is not a relatively new human adaptation but it is evolved as a survival mechanism which was also present in primitive human beings and mammals and helped them to react in the life-threatening situations.
