Justine and Diego cannot understand why their young son and daughter are constantly bickering. They can fight over the smallest thing and can pick up on the slightest hint of perceived injustice or lack of fairness. What is at the foundation of the children's behavior?

Evolutionary forces

Explanation:

Evolutionary forces are the forces that process evolution in human's life.Natural selection is the force that tends to spread behavioral pattern in a person along with forces like genetic drift, mutation and gene flow.

According to the question, behavior of children is based upon evolutionary forces that is acting as foundation to the quarreling behavior pattern of them.Thus, children can argue over any small topic of unfair behavior towards them.

the earth’s crust is broken into separate pieces called tectonic plates (fig. 7.14). recall that the crust is the solid, rocky, outer shell of the planet. it is composed of two distinctly different types of material: the less-dense continental crust and the more-dense oceanic crust. both types of crust rest atop solid, upper mantle material. the upper mantle, in turn, floats on a denser layer of lower mantle that is much like thick molten tar.

each tectonic plate is free-floating and can move independently. earthquakes and volcanoes are the direct result of the movement of tectonic plates at fault lines. the term fault is used to describe the boundary between tectonic plates. most of the earthquakes and volcanoes around the pacific ocean basin—a pattern known as the “ring of fire”—are due to the movement of tectonic plates in this region. other observable results of short-term plate movement include the gradual widening of the great rift lakes in eastern africa and the rising of the himalayan mountain range. the motion of plates can be described in four general patterns:

collision: when two continental plates are shoved together

subduction: when one plate plunges beneath another (fig. 7.15)

spreading: when two plates are pushed apart (fig. 7.15)

transform faulting: when two plates slide past each other (fig. 7.15)
