Why do your feet sinks into sand when you are on your toes rather that when you are on flat feet?
when you stand flat footed on sand, you weight is distributed over the entire surface area of your feet in contact with the sand, thus reducing you overall pressure upon the sand, allowing it to stuck together. when you stand on your toes, you decrease your surface area, therefore increasing you overall pressure on the sand, and sinking into the sand.

Why is it difficult to walk on sand if you are wearing pointed heels as compared to flat shoes?
Because flat shoes have a much wider base than pointed heels so they spread your weight out more, to you walk more on top of the sand, like snowshoes. Whereas pointed heels have a very narrow base that causes you to sink into the sand a bit more, making it a little like walking in quicksand.
Explain why it is useful for the camels to have large flat feet?
Because sand in the desert is very loose. Thus it is very easy for the camel to sink if it exerts a great amount of pressure on the sand. Consequently, they have large flat feet so as to reduce the pressure it exerts on the ground i.e. P=F/A. PS:If your'e asking a question from homework or a test you've been given, at least try to make it less obvious
What do camels looks likes?

Why are the camel's wide feet a good adaptation for living in the desert?
The reason why wide feet are a good adaptation for living in the desert is because you do not sink in to the sand as you would if you have thinner feet. Camels have wide feet that help them stay on top of the sand making travel easier and more efficient. The camel's feet are good for the desert because their feet are flat so they don't sink in the sand and that means they can move faster.
