Scales protect the fish from its environment. They overlap like shingles on a roof so that the skin of the fish is not exposed. As a fish grows, their scales produce rings much like a tree-and that is one way scientists can tell how old a fish is.Most fish get extra protection from a layer of slime that covers their scales. This slime helps them move through the water better, and keeps pests off of the fish skin.s a fish grows, their scales produce rings much like a tree-and that is one way scientists can tell how old a fish is.

Inside a Muffler. Located inside the muffler is a set of tubes. These tubes are designed to create reflected waves that interfere with each other or cancel each other out. Take a look at the inside of this muffler: The exhaust gases and the sound waves enter through the center tube.
When the muffler is damaged or has a hole in it, this causes the pre-muffled exhaust to leak, increasing the sound that comes out of the exhaust system. Although it is possible that exhaust leaks can occur before the muffler, in most cases, loud exhaust is caused by a leak in the muffler itself.
