A liquid has a definite volume (which can change with temperature), but takes the shape of its container.

A Liquid is the state that has no definite shape, since the atoms can move around, it is therefore able to form itself to the shape of its container. However, since the atoms still have weak bonds to one another, it cannot fill up a closed container by stretching out the atoms. (The form of matter that does this is a gas.)

* Liquids can be very slightly compressed, but not to the extent of gases.
---

There are 3 phases of matter. Solids, liquids and gases. Solids have a definite shape and a definite volume. Liquids do not have a definite shape but do have a definite volume. Gases do not have a definite shape as they can "flow", and they do not have a definite volume as they can fill a container by changing in pressure (density).

[ C. Coriolis Effect ]

If the Earth didn't rotate, winds would travel north or south because of the differences in pressure and temperature. The Earth does rotate, so, the Coriolis Effect diverts the wind to the left of the Southern Hemisphere and right of the Northern Hemisphere. The Coriolis Effect is very important because it creates cyclonic weather system.s

Tcecarenko [31]

Among the typical midlife changes for men is an Increase in prostate size.

A portion of the fluid that carries sperm during ejaculation is produced by the prostate, a gland. The urethra, which is the tube through which urine leaves the body, is surrounded by the prostate gland.

As you get older, your chances of having an enlarged prostate go up. Because BPH is so common, it has been said that if a man lives long enough, he will all have an enlarged prostate. Many men over 40 have a small amount of prostate enlargement. The condition affects more than 90% of men over the age of 80.

Which of these tasks would a hydrologist be most likely to perform?
GuDViN [60]

Hydrologists are most likely to perform actions relating to estimating the amount of groundwater in an aquifer.

<h3>Hydrologists</h3>

Hydrologists are scientists that specialize in the study of how water relates to the various crusts of the earth.

Hydrology in itself refers to the branch of science that studies how water moves relative to the earth's crusts.

Thus, species identification, age of fossils, or extracting underground oils have nothing to do with the work of hydrologists.

LET'S CHECK
Daniel [21]

Answer:

I.

4) The deoxygenated blood then travels through the veins and enters the right side of the heart.

1) The blood leaves the heart through the aorta.

2) The blood travels throughout the body via the arteries to the capillaries.

3) In the capillaries, the exchange of nutrients and gases occurs. Oxygen is absorbed by the cells while carbon dioxide is released into the blood.

II.

2) Exchange of gases happens as oxygen is received by the blood and carbon dioxide is released.

1) The deoxygenated blood flows from the right side of the heart to go to the lungs.

3) The oxygenated blood then returns to the left side of the heart.
