Arctic animals often expand their hunting territory during the winter when the ice cap expands to cover more of the ocean surfac

Explanation: During winters, there is decrease in temperature which leads to the freezing of water molecules.

The state change occurs from liquid state to solid state.

In case of water, the inter-molecular forces between the molecules decreases which leads to the increase in volume.

Which in turn leads to the decrease in the density of solid (ice). This increase in density tends to the floating of ice on water.

Density=\frac{Mass}{Volume}

Thus, on freezing, the water expands and hence, there will be more space for the arctic animals to hunt in winters.

Pls 50 points right answer gets brainliest
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

thermal energy: the part of total internal energy that can be transferred (a portion of the kinetic energy)

heat is the thermal energy that flows from one substance to another due to a temperature difference.

Thermal energy is measured in temperature change.

Thermal energy transfer stops when thermal equilibrium is achieved (Both substances at the same temperature).

conduction: Transfer of thermal energy through a solid object like heat transferring up a metal spoon from a hot cup of coffee.

convection: the transfer of thermal energy due to the movement of a liquid or gas caused by differences in temperature. Only in a fluid (liquid or gas). Breezes, ocean currents.

radiation: Transfer energy with or without matter. Warming from the Sun, microwave oven.

What does the atomic mass of an element represent
Ainat [17]

the mass of an atom of a chemical element expressed in atomic mass units. It is approximately equivalent to the number of protons and neutrons in the atom (the mass number) or to the average number allowing for the relative abundances of different isotopes.

How to prevent rusting????
Stolb23 [73]
There are several ways to prevent rusting. But you first need to know that rusting is caused by surrounding elements(wind,water,cold/heat etc)
So to prevent it, you need to have a coating protecting what you want to protect.
Some ways are to apply anti-rusting oil which is coating and another way I know that I know that they do for large buildings/structures such as bridges(the Golden gate bridge in San Fransisco is no exception) is to apply a special paint that protects then from rusting. But if there is even a little chip or crack in the paint, it can cause rusting in that area and slowly go under the paint and spread so workers have to sometimes repaint those spots to get rid of the rust.
