describle the movement of snake
Answers
Explanation:
Snakes will push off of any bump or other surface, rocks, trees, etc., to get going. They move in a wavy motion. They would not be able to move over slick surfaces like glass at all. This movement is also known as lateral undulation.

Explanation:
Serpentine: the most characteristic movement and the one that enables them to move at the greatest velocity. The serpent advances like a wave, through a sinusoidal movement of its body.
Concertina or accordion: the snake forms volutes or twists with its body contracting and expanding successively like a spring or accordion, moving from one anchor or impulse point to the next.
Lateral displacement or sidewinding: typical of the species that inhabit the desert (and in particular the sidewinder rattlesnake). The snake forms vertical waves to minimize the contact areas with the scorching surface and in this way it moves laterally.
Rectilinear: this mechanism has recently been unravelled and is the only one that does not fit the initial definition, since the snake crawls in a straight line with its body stretched. It is typical of the largest and more voluminous of the species as it allows them to access the narrow burrows of their potential prey.
The particular movement of these reptiles has inspired the undulating snakes game:
Place the snake’s body on the grid. The two black squares point to the two ends of the body. The snake extends itself across the board from one square to the next, either vertical or horizontal (but not diagonal). It can only occupy each square once and the snake cannot touch itself at any point. The numbers in the margins indicate the squares occupied by the snake in that row or column.
