D. The molecules in water are constantly moving.

They are able to do this because they move around to take whatever shape of the container.

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Properties which are unable to bring any change in chemical composition of a substance are known as physical properties.

For example, change in shape, size, mass, volume etc are all physical properties.

Since, water is a liquid and in liquids the molecules are held by less strong intermolecular forces of attraction as compared to solids. Due to which they are able to slide past each other.

Hence, liquids do not have a definite shape but they do have a definite volume as they occupy the volume of container in which they are placed.

Thus, we can conclude that the best explanation for water changes shape to fill the shape of its container is that it's a physical property of water.

The presence of a uniform magnetic field may be detected by using a
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

Magnetic compass

Explanation:

A magnetic field is a field that describes the magnetic effect of electric charges in a relative motion.

Magnetic field allows magnets to interact without contact. The principle involved in the function of the compass is that a magnetic field exerts a force on any moving charge and can be measured and detected by this effect.

A transform boundary occurs where two tectonic plates _____.?
gladu [14]

Where they slide over each other.

Transform boundaries are formed or occur when two plates slide past each other in a sideways motion.  They do not tear or crunch into each other (but the rock in between them may be ground up) and therefore none of the spectacular features are seen such as occur in divergent and convergent boundaries.

In a transform boundary, neither plate is added to at the boundary nor destroyed.  They are marked in some places by features like  stream beds that have been split in half and the two halves moved in opposite directions.
