because the wet surface makes it slicker so there slimy slick bodys can move 0ver faster

Do snails move faster on rough surfaces or smooth surfaces?
Snails move faster on rough objects as the sticky liquid they use for locomotion gets good friction and helps it to move. But on rough surfaces, the frictional force is much less and the snail can hardly move.
Are snails faster than slugs?
I dont think anyones too sure. Lets race them!
How does a hovercraft travel over rough surfaces?
howercraft can move on rough surface
How does mucus help snails to move?
mucus helps snails to move because its sticky. its also slimy. these to things help the snail to move over different surfaces
Where do snails move faster cement or soil?
cement
Why is it easy to push a car on a smooth road than on a rough road?
this is because there is less friction on the smooth road than on the rough, ( friction is the force that opposes movement) hope this helps
on which surface can a snail move fastest dirt cement or grass?
Snails move faster on dirt cement
Do big snails move faster than small snails?
every thing is awesome when you have snails all over your back and spiders! thanks if you said yes thanks my name is ryan pan
How does the ramshorn snail move?
Snails use an undulating muscle called a foot to move. Secreted slime aids their movement by reducing friction between the two surfaces.
Does an earthworm move faster on soil than on hard surfaces?
Last time I check they moved faster on smooth ground
Do snails travel faster uphill or downhill?
Honestly I don't have any facts to back this up. but I believe that snails travel faster downhill due to the fact that gravity is assisting them. Considering the method of which they travel ( by sliding over slime ) I would think you could move faster downhill as you would not have to push against gravity to move up.
Why do snails leave a slime trail?
Snails leave a slime trail because of their limited movement. Snails are very small creatures, and coupled with the wait of their shell, they do not move very fast. Snails leave a trail of mucus, not slime (well i guess it counts as slime..:) in order to help them slip along faster. They use it to glide along on, and it helps them stick so they can hang upside down.
