Catalysis is the increase in the rate of a chemical reaction due to the participation of an additional substance called a catalyst. With a catalyst, reactions occur faster and require less activation energy.
There are some species of snakes that live in the ground or right at the soil surface. These are worm snakes and earth snakes. They will get about 12 inches long when they are full grown. They eat earthworms, slugs, snails and insects that live in the soil, so they can be left alone under the mulch. Wood piles are another great place for snakes to hide. Wood that is used for heating homes should be stacked at least 12 inches off the ground. This will reduce the hiding places for snakes and their prey.
Snakes live in nearly every habitat imaginable, from forests and lakeshores to prairies and deserts, and on every continent except Antarctica. In habitats like underground bur â¦ rows to the tops of trees, to ocean depths as much as 150 meters. Many snakes survive in regions that are extremely cold.
