All of the following contribute to the movement of venous blood EXCEPT A. ventricular systole B. pressure changes in the thorax
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:  B. pressure changes in the thorax

Explanation:

The veins are the blood vessels which returns the deoxygenated blood from all the tissues and cells of the body back to the heart. The ventricular systole, venous valves, activity of the skeletal muscles and neural control over venoconstriction all influence the movement of the blood in the venous.

The pressure changes in the thorax occurs due to inspiration and expiration. During the process of inspiration, the diaphragm below the lungs contracts and moves downward while the muscles of the ribs pulls downward. When the size of the thoracic cavity increase the air pressure inside the cavity decreases and vice-versa. The pressure inside the thoracic cavity is not related with the movement of the venous blood as it regulates the exchange of the gases not the blood.

Explain Mercury is the planet closest to the Sun. Why does it get so cold at night?
alexdok [17]

Answer/Explanation: On Mercury temperatures can get as hot as 430 degrees Celsius during the day and as cold as -180 degrees Celsius at night.

Mercury is the planet in our solar system that sits closest to the sun. The distance between Mercury and the sun ranges from 46 million kilometers to 69.8 million kilometers. The earth sits at a comfy 150 million kilometers. This is one reason why it gets so hot on Mercury during the day.

The other reason is that Mercury has a very thin and unstable atmosphere. At a size about a third of the earth and with a mass (what we on earth see as ‘weight’) that is 0.05 times as much as the earth, Mercury just doesn’t have the gravity to keep gases trapped around it, creating an atmosphere. Due to the high temperature, solar winds, and the low gravity (about a third of earth’s gravity), gases keep escaping the planet, quite literally just blowing away.

Atmospheres can trap heat, that’s why it can still be nice and warm at night here on earth.

Mercury’s atmosphere is too thin, unstable and close to the sun to make any notable difference in the temperature.

Space is cold. Space is very cold. So cold in fact, that it can almost reach absolute zero, the point where molecules stop moving (and they always move). In space, the coldest temperature you can get is 2.7 Kelvin, about -270 degrees Celsius.

Sunlight reflected from other planets and moons, gases that move through space, the very thin atmosphere and the surface of Mercury itself are the main reasons that temperatures on Mercury don’t get lower than about -180 °C at night.

Why would chemical weathering affect the kinds of minerals in soil as the soil is formed??
Vilka [71]
Process by which the internal structure of a mineral is altered by the addition or removal of elements. Change in phase (mineral type) and composition are due to the action of chemical agents. Chemical weathering is dependent on available surface for reaction temperature and presence of chemically active fluids.
