Why is the density of water important for life?

Biology
1 answer:
Agata [3.3K]3 years ago
6 0
If water had no density - if its mass per unit volume were zero - it would be massless, and would travel at the speed of light.
The oceans would all go in all directions (leaving sea-dwelling flora and fauna behind - and all the salt).
You wouldn't see rain coming (at least, not directly at you), because the image of the rain would travel no faster than the rain itself.
<span>And water pistols would essentially be laser guns.</span>

mixas84 [53]
The reason for the loss of color after the industrial revolution is that the light-colored moths were "selected against" by predators. These birds could only see the light ones against the newly dark, sooted background. Over time, these predators could no longer distinguish the dark ones from their natural dark, sooted background. Thus more light-colored moths stood out against the dark soot, and were eaten. And more dark-colored moths eluded the birds, survived to reproduce, passing on more of their dominant genes for dark color to their offspring. After several decades of hundreds of thousands of generations, most of the later generations were dark, due to selective advantage of camouflage to survive predation.
