<u>Answer:</u>

Liquid in the thermometer expands and rises when it exposed to warm air.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Thermometer can be used to measure the temperature of the air. When a thermometer is exposed to the atmosphere, the thermometer’s temperature tries to equalise the temperature of the surrounding air.

The state at which the temperature of the thermometer is equal to surrounding air temperature is called as Thermodynamic Equilibrium. To reach this state the liquid present inside the thermometer must either heat up or cool down.

So when a thermometer is exposed to warm or hot air, the liquid inside the thermometer(mercury) gets heated up. This heat causes the liquid to expand to reach the equilibrium state. Similarly, when the thermometer is exposed to cool air, the liquid condenses to match the outer temperature, thereby reaching the thermodynamic equilibrium.

Fittoniya [83]
You would definitely not expect political stability in a state that is being annexed or which does not have a territory - rather the opposite would be true.

Both multinational and souvereign states can have a high lever of political security. However, in a multinational state one can also expect some conflicts between the different ethnic groups - therefore the best answer is "a sovereign state"

stiv31 [10]

<u>Answer:</u>

For example, the dinosaurs' fossils helped the scientists to learn about their habits, habitats, etc.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Scientists greatly depend upon existing biological evidences of extinct organisms in the form of 'fossils' to study the earlier life existed within the biosphere and the geosphere.

Fossil research allows researchers to learn a great deal not only about the organisms' live form and behaviour but also the Earth's geosphere and biosphere at that time. Specially, transitional fossils are more apt to study as they demonstrate the transitional states of a fossil between the ancestral type and the descendants' recent form.
