Can we cry underwater?

Biology

Wittaler [7]3 years ago

No, because when we cry we breathe out and in, and since we can't breathe underwater we would end up dying in the water. Unless you had a scuba headset then you can cry because you also have the ability to breathe.

<span>No crying underwater is not possible because of 2 reasons. 
1) While crying there is a spasm of muscles , of that of the oesophagus (throat) and this would result in death of an individual if he/she is under water. 
2) The external fluid pressure will not permit the tear gland to secrete tears there by nullifying the possibility. 
Thus u cannot cry unre water.. 
of course except if u are wearing a goggle or u are in a submarine! :)</span><span>

Why would natural selection not occur without genetic variations in species
Fudgin [204]
Natural selection only occurs when there is a superiority within a species set. If there is no genetic variation, no single animal is any better than the next, making the presence of superiority impossible and survival left up to chance. In this case it would be considered genetic continuity.

Carbon-14 can be used to determine the age of a dinosaur egg. True False
kozerog [31]

Answer:

FALSE

Explanation:

But carbon-14 dating won't work on dinosaur bones. The half-life of carbon-14 is only 5,730 years, so carbon-14 dating is only effective on samples that are less than 50,000 years old. Dinosaur bones, on the other hand, are millions of years old -- some fossils are billions of years old. To determine the ages of these specimens, scientists need an isotope with a very long half-life. Some of the isotopes used for this purpose are uranium-238, uranium-235 and potassium-40, each of which has a half-life of more than a million years.
