This startle reflex (aka moro reflex) is/was present in us as newborns.

It's triggered when there's an unexpected reaction. Example: Loud noise, sudden movement.

The baby will tighten his/her body, fling out arms, sort of like giving him/herself a hug. It happens because the baby is trying to protect itself from harm.

It normally leaves thanks to the mother's care, normally 6 weeks after the newborn is born.

Reasons for seasons<br>​
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

As the earth spins on its axis, producing night and day, it also moves about the sun in an elliptical (elongated circle) orbit that requires about 365 1/4 days to complete. The earth's spin axis is tilted with respect to its orbital plane. This is what causes the seasons. At different times of the year, the sun's rays hit different parts of the globe more directly. The angle of the Earth's axis tilts the Northern Hemisphere towards the sun during the summer. Without the tilt of the earth's axis, we wouldn't have seasons.
