1) (a)How does a snail adapt to its surroundings?

It is able to adapt to its surroundings by camouflaging itself from its predators. Its slimy legs help it to hold onto the ground firmly during high tides so that it will not slip and suffer any injuries. A snail's shell protects it from changing weather conditions. In some regions, snails have thicker shells that prevents them from losing too much water. In humid regions, snails tend to have thinner shells.

(b) What preys on snail and what does a snail eat?

There are lots of animals that feed on snails. Some of them are like hedgehogs, common shrew, marsh flies, centipedes and even cats and dogs. Snails eat barley, beans, cauliflower, peach, and lots more but their diet mostly contain fruits and vegetables.

2) How are plants able to stay on sand?

Their roots enable them to hold tightly and firmly to the sand even though it is quite soft.

What I have learnt:

I had learnt that the pH of the seawater is quite high and acidic as some derived from oil spills and the chemicals from the factories. The relative humidity is about 39.5% which i don't know what it means.The temperature of the seawater is about 32.1-38 degree celcius which meant that it is quite hot( this is because the sun was directly above the seawater). I had learnt that if the water is too acidic, no plants and animals could survive in it.
