Answer 1

• We are already known to the fact that pressure applied on surface is inversely proportional to the area on which it is applied.

• This means that the more is the pressure, the less is the area over which it acts.

• This is why camel's feet does not penetrate into the sand.

• The surface area of camel's feet comparatively greater than animals like horse, mule, etc. so the thrust applied by camel is distributed over a larger area and hence less pressure is exerted over sand.

Answer 2

This is one of the best adaptation of camel which helps them to survive in the harsh climates of desert . There leg is padded and flat. Which gives them a greater surface area /area of contact with sand hence.

There is less pressure on the sand but as humans we have less area of contact /less area which experts greater pressure and so it is difficult for us to walk on sand.

I have attached image which will make you understand how their feet looks like.

The picture shows the relation between area and pressure. It's clear that area is inversely proportional to pressure therefore if the area is less the more pressure will be exerted. But if the area is more the pressure will be less. This is what can be given as a reason to your question.
