Answer:

Particles of the liquid flow which allows it to take the shape of the container but it can't expand to fill it because its volume always stays the same.

Explanation:

Liquid is a state of the matter that posses an specific volume but don't have a particular shape. The particles in a liquid have space between them and they are not in a fix position which allows them to flow and take the shape of the container and as there is attraction between the particles it maintains its the volume constant which doesn't allow the liquid to expand to fill the container.

lidiya [134]

The resistance of the lamp plugged in to a standard wall outlet with a current of 0.5 amps is 240 Ω (ohms)

Explanation:

In the United States Of America the standard voltage is 120 v and their frequency is 60 Hz

Standard wall outlet voltage is 120 V

The current in the lamp is 0.5 ampere

Resistance (R) = V/ I

      = 120/0.5

      = 240Ω (ohms)

Thus the resistance of the lamp plugged in to a standard wall outlet with a current of 0.5 amps is 240 Ω (ohms).

Why are most of the world’s deserts located between latitudes 10°n to 30°n and 10°s to 30°s.
RoseWind [281]

The bulk of the world's deserts are located at 30 degrees north latitude and 30 degrees south latitude, when the warm equatorial air begins to descend. The heavy, warm, descending air vaporises large amounts of water from the ground's surface. As a result, the environment is rather dry.

<h3>Why are the majority of the desert regions on Earth located between 20 and 30 degrees latitude?</h3>

The zones of falling air are those between 20 and 30 latitudes on the western borders of continents (high pressure and dry weather). As a result, the moisture continues to decrease as the air is compressed and warmed as it falls.

Where the scorching equatorial air starts to descend, the majority of the world's deserts are found between 30 degrees north and 30 degrees south latitude. Large volumes of water are vaporised off the surface of the ground by the thick, warming, falling air. As a result, the climate is extremely dry.
