For positioning purposes, in the average adult skull, the difference between the oml and the ioml is approximately (select one):

a. 5 degrees
b. 7 degrees
c. 10 degrees
d. 12 degrees

b) 7 degrees

Explanation:

The brain scanning techniques like CT and MRI have the reference lines like IOML or Infraorbitomeatal line and OML or Orbitomeatal line. These lines act as the standard reference during the CT techniques based on X-Rays.

The OML line passes through the centre of the external auditory meatus and the canthus of the eye whereas the line drawn between the external acoustic meatus to the infraorbital margin. These lines are used to adjust the positions of the cranium or the skull during the Radio-imaging process.  The difference formed between these lines approximately lies between 7-8 degrees.

Thus, 7 degrees is the correct answer.

the oldest known insects are believed to live around 400 millions ago as suggested by the fossil records.   some plants having woody stems also evolved during this time.

after the evolution of insects the first four legged species or the tetrapods evolved in shallow freshwater habitats from the intermediate species approximately 397 million years ago. the tetrapods went on conquering the land giving rise to amphibians, reptiles, mammals and birds.

the major split in tetrapods first occurred 340 million years ago branching off from amphibians.

363 million years ago when the carboniferous period began the insects started roaming on land and taking flights, following which the four limbed tetrapods adapted in the terrestrial habitat.

i'd have to say the answer is probable the second option "the geosphere interacting with the atmosphere"
