During volume changes in the thoracic cavity, <u>Diaphragm</u> is primarily responsible for changes in length.

The main components of the respiratory system are the two lungs. They are located in the thoracic cavity, which is the area to the left and right of the heart. The rib cage safeguards the cavity. Other components of the respiratory system are supported by a muscular sheet known as the diaphragm.

The diaphragm contracts and pulls downward upon inspiration, or when the lungs inhale. The muscles between the ribcage tighten and pull upward at the same time. As a result, the pressure inside the thoracic cavity lowers and its size grows. Air rushes in as a result, filling the lungs.

Thus, diaphragm is responsible for the increase in length of the thoracic cavity.

Answer:

Water is transported from one area to another area that has little water.   Water is collected and salt allowed to settle at the bottom.

Explanation:

Desalination of water is a process of the removal of salts and minerals from the water. This process is used for the production of water suitable for human consumption or irrigation.

Natural desalination occurs trough the hydrologic cycle when seawater evaporates. On the other hand, manipulated desalinization is an energy expensive alternative to natural desalination.
