Answer:

C

Explanation:

You may not live in a part of the country that gets winter. If you did, you'd know the answer to this just be observation.

Rule: Less dense things float on more dense things.

A is incorrect. If the liquid form of water was less dense, it would float on the ice. That's not what happens.

B is not true. Liquid water is denser than solid water. That's why ice floats.

C is the answer.

D is not true. The densities can vary.

Answer: Under normal ambient conditions water is less dense as a solid than as a liquid, so ice floats on water. Most materials are more dense as solids.

Explanation: When water freezes, the molecules do not stack into a close-packed structure. They form a relatively open, honeycomb-like arrangement.

Using an example (from class or another) and one of the forms of evolution, explain in a short paragraph the true scientific mea
vitfil [10]

There are basically three types of evolution divergent, convergent and parallel evolution.

a) Divergent Evolution – As the name depicts the species in this form of evolution becomes divergent i.e they evolve to become different from each other. This form of evolution is responsible for the current diversity of organisms existing on planet earth. For example human and apes evolved from a common primate ancestor.

b) Convergent Evolution – In this evolution, different species of organisms living in a similar biosphere start share common traits in the form of analogous features. For example – Whale and fish are not closely related species but they both have fins which are different in structure but have the same function.  

c) Parallel evolution – In this evolution the similar characteristics between the two set of organisms are maintained though the two species continue evolving separately. For example - marsupial mammals of Australia and the Placental mammals
