Answer:

b) the wing assisted incline running theory postulates that wings were initially used to maintain balance while climbing up slopes

Explanation:

According to Wing-Assisted Incline Running ( WAIR ), proto-birds developed wings as it assisted in running specially on inclined planes. The forelimbs were modified as wings as they provided balance to birds while running at fast speed on slopes. They also used less energy as compared to just running.

There were two more theories, bottom up and top down. According to bottom up, proto-birds were ground dwellers and wings were used to maintain the posture while running. According to top down, proto-birds were tree dwellers and used wings to hop from branch to branch to evade predators and catch prey.

Describe how waves superpose on each other using specific examples from two types of waves.
anastassius [24]

Answer:Towhen two waves if nearly same amplitude and same wavelength interfere with each other that time a new wave is formed with a different amplitude this phenomena is known as superposition. If two waves interfere with each other in same phase that time amplitude of resultant wave   wave is greater than the component waves and this type of interference is known as constructive interference. And when waves suprpose in opposite phase that time amplitude of resultant wave is less than the component waves and this type of interference is known as destructive interference.

Example: light waves, water waves, sound waves etc
