WATER

Solids will usually sink when placed in their own liquids with the exception of water

Explanation:

Ice (the solid form of water) floats on water that is cooler than 4 degrees centigrade. This is unlike any other material and this phenomenon has been referred to as the ‘water anomaly’.

Most substances will sink in their own liquid because the solid form is denser than the amount of their own liquid that they displace when immersed. This is because the particles in the solid are closely packed together hence there are more particles per volume than in the liquid form.  

Water however, expands at temperatures below 4 degrees and hence ice is less dense than water at 4 degrees and below. The particles in ice are farther apart than particles of water at 4 degrees and below. There is, therefore, more particles per volume in the liquid form of water than in ice – making ice less dense.

Which of the following is not a type of adaptation?
enyata [817]

Answer: The correct answer for the first question is- B) Mechanical.

Adaptation can be described as a process of change in an organism over time that facilitates its survival in the changing environmental conditions. It results due to mutation or genetic change in the individual that gives a benefit to the organism. It exhibits change in structure ( like succulent plants in desert), function, or behavior.

Mechanical is not a type of adaptation as it deals with movement of objects.

The correct answer for second question is- C) Variations.

Variation among organisms in a population results from change in the genetic material or their genetic sequences. Change at the genetic level is thus reflected in the phenotypes ( like different color of feathers in birds).

Thus, difference is in the feather color reflects variations.

In two or more complete sentences, describe an activity you perform that has an impact on climate change? Is it positive or nega
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

Burning of woods has a negative impact on the climate.

Explanation:

Burning of woods for heating has a negative impact on our climate because it releases carbondioxide gas which is a greenhouse gas that trapped the reflected solar radiation and leads to global warming. We have to used alternative methods for heating such as electric heater instead of burning of wood which produce no pollution and can fulfill the requirement of heating so from the above discussion we can say that the activity has a negative impact on the environment.

Why are frogs said to have “two lives” ?

Answer:

  • One because they are amphibians
  • two because amphibian means two lives

  • Fourth because they live longer (I think)

Explanation:

Frogs begin their lives in the water as eggs and then tadpoles and when they are fully developed they live on land.
