Lunar maria (plural form of the Latin word mare, which means sea) are
dark surfaces that can be found all over the moon (17% of the Moon is
covered in them) that have been created as a result of volcanic
eruptions. These areas are made up of basalt, and given that they seemed
almost waterlike, the astronomers in the distant past mistook them for
seas, whence their name comes.
When it comes to craters, their origin
is quite similar - volcanic eruptions created them. When lava starts
erupting from a volcano, it has to get out from somewhere - and thus
craters are created. If you are referring to lunar craters, however,
there are many speculations as to how they were created: due to volcanic
eruptions, meteoric impact, or glacier activity.
Answer:
The circulatory and respiratory systems interact to transport carbon dioxide to the lungs, where it is expelled from the body.
Explanation:
Carbon dioxide produced by the cells and tissues during cellular respiration is removed from the body through the interaction of the circulatory and respiratory system. The medium of transport of carbon dioxide is the blood which carries to the lungs, where it is expelled from the body in ordernto maintain homeostasis in the body.
Carbon dioxide molecules are transported in the blood from body tissues to the lungs in three ways:
1. Dissolution directly into the blood - due to its greater solubility in blood than oxygen, carbon dioxide is dissolved in blood plasma. On reaching the lungs, it leaves the blood by diffusion and is then expelled out of the body.
2. Binding to hemoglobin - carbon dioxide binds reversibly with haemoglobin in the red blood cells to form a molecule called carbaminohemoglobin. When it reaches the lungs, the carbon dioxide freely dissociate from the hemoglobin and is expelled from the body.
3. Carried as a bicarbonate ion - the majority of carbon dioxide molecules are carried as part of the bicarbonate buffer system. In this system, carbon dioxide diffuses into the red blood cells. The enzyme carbonic anhydrase within the red blood cells quickly converts the carbon dioxide into carbonic acid (H2CO3) which then dissociates into bicarbonate and hydrogen ions. The bicarbonate ions leaves the red blood cells in exchange for chloride ions in the plasma. The bicarbonate ions then travel in plasma to the lungs, where they enter the red blood cells again. It combines with hydrogen ions from the haemoglobin to form carbonic acid. Carbonic anhydrase breaks carbonic acid down into water and carbon dioxide which is then expelled from the lungs.
It does not exist. Ca is 2+ and SiO4 is 4-, so it would in that case be Ca2SiO4, which does not exist either.
