How do snails and earthworms move?

Answer 1

The earthworm digs a 6 feet deep hole and bury themselves underground. They produce mucus which they cover themselves with to stay wet a cool. They do not have to fear of starvation because food is all around them such as broken up leaves.

Answer 2

Earthworms move by using circular and longitudinal muscles that surround their hydrostatic skeleton. This is accomplished by squeezing their circular muscles elongating their body and pushing them forward. As the circular muscles relax the longitudinal muscles pull the body in causing the body segment being pulled to "fatten". The cycle continues and the worm appears to be pulsating. Earthworm also have setae that assist in movement.

This is just a simple explanation with many mechanisms involved being omitted, i just couldn't bear that the comment below was the only one posted.

Answer 3

I learned this in science. A worm is made of all muscle. The worm contracts the back of its body up and then takes the muscle from there and moves froward with it.

The worm has bristles called setae that help the earthworm move.

Answer 4

Animal locomotion is accomplished through the force of muscles acting on a rigid skeletal system. There are three types of skeletal systems in the animal kingdom: hydraulic

skeletons,

exoskeletons

and endoskeletons.

Hydrostatic skeletons are primarily found in soft bodied invertebrates such as earthworms and jellyfish.As the muscles contract, the fluid in the cavity moves and

changes the shape of the cavity. In an earthworm, for example,a wave of contractions of circular muscles begins anteriorly and compresses each segment of the body, so that the fluid pressure pushes it forward. Contractions of

longitudinal muscles then pull the rear of the body forward.

whereas,in snails and slugs there is present the muscular foot.when there is need to move,animal produces the wave like contractions and relaxations and animal can move.

Answer 5

The earthworm first extends the front part of the body, keeping the rear portion fixed to the ground. Then it fixes the front part and releases rear end. It then shortens the body and pulls the rear end forward.

Answer 6

Well earthworms move by using their upper lip called the prostierum to eat the dirt and dig burrows so they dont have to do much eating so its alredy dug in.

Answer 7

earthworms get into the ground fast by digging a hole

Answer 8

they behave like worms
