<u>Answer</u>:

The Centrifugal force makes the seawater to bulge at the equator when compared to the seawater at the poles.

<u>Explanation</u>:

The centrifugal force drives the earth rotation due to the bulging known as the equatorial bulging. But it is a different effect from tidal bulging.

Relatively the tidal effects are caused by the gravitational gradients that mean the differences in the gravity from one point to another point in the earth.

So centrifugal force is the reason for the bulge of seawater at the equator.

Solids will usually sink when placed in their own liquids. Which is an exception?
Marat540 [252]

WATER

Solids will usually sink when placed in their own liquids with the exception of water

Explanation:

Ice (the solid form of water) floats on water that is cooler than 4 degrees centigrade. This is unlike any other material and this phenomenon has been referred to as the ‘water anomaly’.

Most substances will sink in their own liquid because the solid form is denser than the amount of their own liquid that they displace when immersed. This is because the particles in the solid are closely packed together hence there are more particles per volume than in the liquid form.  

Water however, expands at temperatures below 4 degrees and hence ice is less dense than water at 4 degrees and below. The particles in ice are farther apart than particles of water at 4 degrees and below. There is, therefore, more particles per volume in the liquid form of water than in ice – making ice less dense.

ancestors of giraffes with shorter necks could not reach branches high up in trees for food. this led to selection for longer-ne
hichkok12 [17]

With shorter necks, giraffe ancestors could not reach food-containing branches on tall trees. This resulted in the directional selection of giraffes with longer necks.

 

<h3>Why is choosing a direction necessary? </h3>

It nearly appears obvious that the giraffe's long neck developed as a result of a lack of food in the lower branches of trees. The giraffe has a significant advantage because it is taller than any other mammal and can feed where few others can. 

When compared to modern giraffes, the giraffe's ancient predecessors had a shorter neck. The plants that were lying at a higher level were inaccessible to them. Giraffe phenotypes have changed in various ways, and now have long necks to reach vegetation that is higher up. The extreme form is chosen above other features in directional selection. It was decided to choose the long-necked giraffe over the short-necked.
