Earthworms are generally seen wriggling above the ground during heavy rains, because they

A

Cannot tolerate dry environment and come out of hibernation only when it is raining.

B

Respire air present between soil particles which is replaced by water during rain.

C

Mate and reproduce during rains.

D

Do not intake water so they come out to absorb as much water as possible and conserve it.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Earthworms respire the air present between soil particles when they are underground. Rainwater seeps into ground and replaces this air. Earthworms as a result, cannot respire underground and have to come out over the surface in order to respire.

The formula to determine the height of the rocket above the ground at any time during the rocket’s flight is given by: h=119t-7t2 where t =the time, in seconds, that has elapsed since the rocket was launched, and h = the height, in meters, of the rocket above the ground at time t . The value of h was 0 when the rocket hit the ground, How many seconds after the rocket was launched did it hit the ground?
