Q3 What is thedifference between a venomous snake and a poisonous snake? A3 Wadiyat Narjis, May 15 The terms"venomous" and "poisonous" are often used interchangeablywhen referring to snakes, but they actually have different meanings: Venomous snakes inject venom into their prey orpredators using specialized teeth or fangs. The venom is designed to subdue orkill the prey and may also be used in self-defense. Venom is a type of toxinthat is specifically adapted for injection. Poisonous snakes, on the other hand, secrete or storetoxins in their skin or flesh. These toxins arenot injected through bites or stings, but rather must be ingested or absorbedthrough contact with the skin. Poisonous snakes are often brightlycolored or have distinctive patterns to warn potential predators that they aredangerous. In summary, venomous snakes use specialized teeth orfangs to inject venom, while poisonous snakessecrete or store toxins in their skin or flesh, which must be ingested orabsorbed through contact.

Q6 Why does thewater from the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans not mix? A6 Sana Tariq,Expert Blogger at Blogger (product) (2019–present)11h The Atlantic andPacific Oceans don't mix due to a phenomenon called ocean stratification. This occurs primarily because of differences in watertemperature, salinity, and density. These differences create a barrierpreventing the two oceans from easily mixing. The Atlantic Ocean is saltier and warmer than thePacific Ocean. Warm water is lessdense and tends to stay on the surface, while cold water is denser andsinks. In the Atlantic,warm, salty water near the surface forms a barrier to the mixing of the deeper,colder waters. The Pacific Ocean, on the other hand, has colder andless saline surface waters due to factors like the presence of the coldHumboldt Current along the western coast of South America. This density differenceacts as a natural barrier, preventing the easy exchange of water between thetwo oceans. While some mixing occurs at certain points,such as the southern tip of South America, theoverall distinction between the Atlantic and Pacific waters remains due tothese differences in temperature and salinity.
