Three characteristics that are unique to mammals include their  ability to feed their babies with milk made in their mammary  glands. Mammals also have hair on their bodies â¦and they have a  single bone that makes up their lower jaw.
buoyancy. n. 1. the ability to float in a liquid or to rise in a fluid. 2. (General Physics) the property of a fluid to exert an upward force (upthrust) on a body that is wholly or partly submerged in it. 3. the ability to recover quickly after setbacks; resilience.
When the air expands, it becomes less dense than the air around it. The less dense hot air then floats in the more dense cold air much like wood floats on water because wood is less dense than water. This floating effect in a less dense medium is called a buoyant force or a displacement force.
