Q.1. Why do turtles come to the ground to lay eggs?

Answer:
Sea turtles are reptiles, and are thus descended from other reptiles whose eggs are adapted to being laid on land. The developing turtles will drown if the eggs are submerged. This actually does happen if the turtle mistakenly lays its eggs below the high tide line of the beach. On beaches with turtle protection programs, rangers will sometimes relocate a nest laid too close to the water for this reason, although some people think it's better not to prevent turtles that choose bad nesting sites from being weeded out.
