The geese fly in a V formation because they can flow off of each others air waves. It helps them be able to fly longer and farther before needing to rest.
The goose in the front trades places with one of the back birds every once in a while.

Can geese fly?
They are planning to kill THOUSANDS of Canada Geese in New York CITY!! They are going to do this during moulting season when they can't fly. They will trap and kill them. Supposedly, this will keep all plane/bird accidents from ever happening again!! It's supposed to start in a week (from now 6/15/09)http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/stop-nys-goose-gassing-planPlease go to above link to stop this!Canadian geese migrate in abundance during the fall season. They have a familiar "voice" which i always tune into, and i never cease to gaze up in amazement, as they soar above in "V" formation.This very night i went out on my porch. The hour was half past midnight. I heard that distinct trumpeting sound very distant.... i knew they would soon be flying overhead!I guess they just fly whenever the heck they feel like it...?Must be nice to soar above a full moon, and go where the weather is best.God's creatures are survivalists, and Canadian geese are no exception.Man and all his technology knows NOTHING about air traffic control!!praise GOD.....
Why does the end of a fly swatter move faster than your wrist when swatting a fly?
You use the equation v = rw so velocity is more when the radius is large
What two processes are responsible for the formation of a valley?
Weathering and water erosion wear away at the slopes which would then collapse downwards into the river and the process would continue, expanding until it becomes a river valley. Try googling 'formation of a river valley' and look at a diagram.
What are the properties of combustion?
Its properties are:- i) produces Co2 ii) heat is produced (emitted) iii) exothermic iv) irreversible reaction v) formation of black precipitate in case the combustible material is solid
What is the noble gas notation for gold?
electron configuration: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p6 5s2 4d10 5p6 6s2 4f14 5d9 Orbital Notation:[^v] [^v] [^v][^v][^v] [^v] [^v][^v][^v] [^v] [^v][^v][^v][^v][^v] [^v][^v][^v] [^v] [^v][^v][^v][^v][^v] [^v][^v][^v] [^v] [^v][^v][^v][^v][^v][^v][^v] [^v][^v][^v][^v][^ ] * The '^' represents an up arrow (denoting the spin of one electron) and the 'v' represents a down arrow (denoting the opposite spin of another electron). * The s orbitals have one set of arrows (ex. [^v]). The p orbitals have 3 sets of arrows (ex. [^v][^v][^v]). The d orbitals have five sets of arrows (ex. [^v][^v][^v][^v][^v]). The f orbitals have seven sets of arrows (ex. [^v][^v][^v][^v][^v][^v][^v])
What formatian do geese fly in?
Migrating Canada Geese fly in a loose V formation.
What is the snow geese's V formation called?
All geese like to fly in the V formation also known as a skein formation. This formation helps with their flying efficiency and how far they can fly.
What are skeins?
you may be referring to a flock of geese or swans flying in a V formation
What are skein members?
you may be referring to a flock of geese or swans flying in a V formation
What is a skein?
A skein is a flock of geese flying in a v type formation. This reduces the drag created by air flowing over their wings enabling them to fly further.
What do you call a group of flying geese?
A gaggle of geese.
The main reason that a flock of geese might fly together in V formation in order to avoid capture?
V formation helps lessen drag and allows the goose following another goose an easier flight. V form has nothing to do at all in avoiding being hunted.
What animal flies in a v-shaped formation?
I watch Canadian Geese fly over my house in a v formation all the time. :-)
Why is one side of the v longer than the other when geese fly?
Since geese fly in V formation to conserve energy by flying in the wake of the previous bird I believe that the longer arm of the V has less wind resistance and it therefore easier to fly in.
Collective noun in a simple sentence of geese?
The most common collective nouns are flock of geese or a gaggle of geese.When geese are in the air they are also referred to as skein, team, wedge or plump of geese.The term plump is only used when the birds are flying in close formation and the term wedge is derived from the V-formation the geese fly in.
What is a group of geese flying in V formation called?
A group of geese flying in "V" formation is called a wedge.
What birds do not migrate in a V formation?
They fly in that kind of formation because it helps to make their work easier and faster without easily getting tired. they are CRANE MIGRATORY birds and CRANE MIGRATORY birds fly in either V or J formation.
