When Lavina reads about the migratory behavior of Canada geese, she is very curious about why the geese travel along certain routes (flyways). She spends an entire evening searching the Internet for a scientific explanation of their behavior.

Answer:they migrate in distinct V pattern for food, water and summer moulting

Explanation: Canada geese normally migrate to southern agricultural areas for the winter. They fly in the distinct “V” pattern, with one goose as the leader and its flock follows behind in a v-shape. It helps the geese save energy when they migrate, benefit from the air currents passing the leader, permitting them to fly longer distances. The v-shape also allows for an easier coordination of the flock's movements, such as a change in direction or flight distance.
