Which of the following statements describes a liquid? A liquid has both a definite shape and a definite volume.

A liquid has neither a definite volume nor a definite shape.

A liquid has a definite shape but not a definite volume.

A liquid has a definite volume but not a definite shape.

A liquid has a definite volume but not a definite shape.

Explanation:

Properties of Liquid:

Liquid have definite volume but don't have definite shape.

Their densities are high as compared to the gases but low as compared to the solids.

In liquid, molecules are close to each other and have greater inter molecular forces as compared to the gas molecules.

The liquid with greater forces of attraction between the molecules have greater density and flow rate is less, while the liquid with the less stronger forces between the molecules have low density and larger flow rate.

answer: option (4) is the correct answer.

explanation:

areas which are at low altitudes and near the equator tend to receive direct sunlight from the sun. hence, heat energy or radiations from the sun make these areas warmer and they have warmest water.

whereas areas which are at high altitudes and away from the equator do no receive direct sunlight. hence, no direct contact from the sun makes these regions colder and thus, they have colder water.

thus, we can conclude that the statement areas at low latitudes near the equator have the warmest water because they receive the most direct sunlight best explains the relationship between an area's geography and the temperature of its surface water.
