Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

Once the elastic limit (strength) of a rock is surpassed, it either flows (ductile deformation) or fractures (brittle deformation). Where temperatures and confining pressures are low, rocks tend to behave like a brittle solid and fracture once their strength is exceeded. Ductile deformation is a type of solid-state flow that produces a change in the size and shape of an object without fracturing.

A serious new warning has been established for pregnant women against taking ACE inhibitors during pregnancy. In the study, the risk of major birth defects in children whose mothers took ACE inhibitors during the first trimester was nearly three times higher than in children whose mothers didn't take ACE inhibitors. Physicians can prescribe alternative medications for pregnant women who have symptoms of high blood pressure.
