Biology
1 answer:
ICE Princess25 [194]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Are usually present, but are no longer functional.

Explanation:

Vestigial structures are "evolutionary remnants". They are anatomical features that were once important throughout the organism's evolution, but now have no function. However, they aren't harmful either, so there has been no selective pressure for them to be removed via evolution.

Good examples in humans are the tail bone, wisdom teeth, and the appendix.

Why does ice become less dense than water?
myrzilka [38]
Ice actually has a very different structure than liquid water, in that the molecules align themselves in a regular lattice rather than more randomly as in the liquid form. It happens that the lattice arrangement allows water molecules to be more spread out than in a liquid, and, thus, ice is less dense than water.

what is the correct order of processes that occur for water to move from a lake to a cloud and then turn into rain?
yanalaym [24]
1- Evaporation: Energy from the Sun causes water to become vapor and rise into the atmosphere.

2- Condensation: The water is cooled in the temperatures of the lower atmosphere, turning it from vapor into liquid water and collect into clouds.

3- Precipitation: The clouds become too heavy to remain in the sky, and it rains.
