Hi,

i hope you are having a great evening or afternoon

your respone will be

Liquids have definite volume, but indefinite shape. They are free to form droplets and puddles when they are not inside a container. When a liquid is inside a container, it will take its shape. Unlike gases, a liquid will not change its volume to spread out and completely fill a container. As a result, the molecules are close together, but they are not tightly packed. Instead, they are free to slide past each other. Liquids occur at temperatures above the melting point of a substance, but below its boiling point. At the melting point, the molecules are moving slow enough to form rigid bonds and become a solid. At the boiling point, the molecules are moving so fast that they cannot form any bonds and become a gas.

i hope this helps and please mark me as brainlest?

have a great day:)

Liquids take on the shape of their container. The liquid state of matter is an intermediate phase between solid and gas. Like the particles of a solid, particles in a liquid are subject to intermolecular attraction; however, liquid particles have more space between them, so they are not fixed in position.

Which is transported by phloem?

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

Sugars

Explanation:

Phloem is a living tissue inside the plants, where it can flow in either direction. Inside the phloem, it will have a cell, which both ends have walls with perforations. So the sugars will travel through them in both directions.

Three factors that may have caused thirteen different species of finches to develop on the galapagos island

Oduvanchick [21]

From this one migrant species would come many -- at least 13 species of finch evolving from the single ancestor.
This process in which one species gives rise to multiple species that exploit different niches is called adaptive radiation. The ecological niches exert the selection pressures that push the populations in various directions. On various islands, finch species have become adapted for different diets: seeds, insects, flowers, the blood of seabirds, and leaves.
The ancestral finch was a ground-dwelling, seed-eating finch. After the burst of speciation in the Galapagos, a total of 14 species would exist: three species of ground-dwelling seed-eaters; three others living on cactuses and eating seeds; one living in trees and eating seeds; and 7 species of tree-dwelling insect-eaters.
Scientists long after Darwin spent years trying to understand the process that had created so many types of finches that differed mainly in the size and shape of their beaks.

IF most of the energy we use on earth comes from the sun –how does that energy (light and thermal) end up

____ [38]

Answer:

1: Chemical Energy

2: Kinetic Energy

3: Electrical Energy

4: Mechanical Energy

Explanation:

1: The energy held in food is called chemical energy. It is a form of potential energy held within chemical bonds between atoms.

2: When flowing water is captured and turned into electricity, it is called hydroelectric power or hydropower. There are several types of hydroelectric facilities; they are all powered by the kinetic energy of flowing water as it moves downstream.

3: The power for lights and stuff is Electrical Energy, ofc :]

4: The chemical energy in the food gets changed into the mechanical energy of moving muscles.

Hope this helps!! :D

What is the primary way that metamorphic rocks form?

allochka39001 [22]

Metamorphic rocks form by existing rocks join together under high heat and pressure. Examples of metamorphic rocks are marble, schist, slate, and quartzite. Metamorphic rocks formed when the minerals are chemically changed due to heat and pressure. They are often seen near magma but they do not melt like igneous rock.
