Answer:

<u>Water has following properties as </u>

  1. cohesive behavior.
  2. ability to moderate temperature.
  3. expansion upon freezing.
  4. and versatility as a solvent.

Explanation:

  • The cohesive behavior is the attraction between the molecules of the same substance and cause the water molecules to be drawn together.
  • Ability to moderate temperature, due to the multiple hydrogen bonds between the water it has a heat capacity which allows for large bodies of water to absorb heat.
  • Expansion upon freezing means that it creates a drastic change in the environment and allows it to cool and freeze,
  • Versatility as a solvent gives it the ability to dissolve compounds and other polar molecules.

this fossil was found in a dry, mountainous area. What can you infer about how the area has changed over time?
WINSTONCH [101]

Fossils are the remains of plants and animals that have been preserved for millennia in stones under the Earth's surface. They contain the long chapters of the history of our Earth. Fossils tell us what the earth looked like many millions of years ago, what kind of animals and plants lived on its surface and how it was changing. Fossils show us a history of over a billion years old.


From the fossil from a dry, mountainous area we can conclude that the area was once underwater and over time the soil has risen as result of continental drift and uplift. So, a mountain was once the bottom of a prehistoric ocean or sea.

Which pulls harder on the moon: earth or the sun?
ioda
The sun is 320,000 times as massive as the earth, but only 400 times as far from the moon as the earth is. Therefore the force of the suns gravity on the moon should be twice as big as the earth's and the moon should go around the sun instead of around the earth so the answer is the sun.<span>
