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.

How do scientists use fossils to study earth history
Juli2301 [7.4K]
Scientists use fossils to study earth history by identifying the fossil and what era it came from. By knowing what era the fossil came from and what location it was found, scientists can make assumptions about the earth formation at that time.

What conclusion can be made if the cell margins of a biopsy are clear when observed under a microscope
Juli2301 [7.4K]

The cancer has not invaded other tissues is the conclusion which can be made if the cell margins of a biopsy are clear when observed under a microscope in this scenario.

<h3>What is Biopsy?</h3>

This medical procedure involves taking sample of cells or tissues from parts of the body and observing it under a microscope.

The microscope function is to enlarge the objects which are positioned on the objective lens thereby making it possible for them to be seen more clearly and accurately.

If the cell margins of a biopsy are clear when observed under a microscope, it means the cancer hasn't invaded other parts while in a scenario where the cell margins are crowded then it depicts the presence of cancerous cells thereby making it the most appropriate choice.
