Oxygen and silicon make up most of earths crust
In the United States the direction the continental polar air mass move South toward the Gulf of Mexico to replace the rising maritime tropical air mass.
Answer: Option A
<u>Explanation:</u>
Air masses are large bodies of air moving horizontally in a very uniform way. Continental polar air mass is an air mass that forms near the poles. It originates in northern Canada and Alaska and move south then East.
The continental polar masses are the causes for the severe cold weather in the South during the cold months. Maritime tropical mass are warm and have high moisture content. During winter it comes in contact with the continental polar mass hence getting stabilized.

Explanation:
Sodium (Na) and Chlorine (Cl) are two electrolytes that play important role in the absorption of water and nutrients in the small intestine. However, as mentioned in the question, the release of sodium and chlorine would lead to a loss of water in the intestines. This is because of the OSMOTIC phenomenon.
Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a region of high concentration of water/low concentration of solute to a region of low concentration of water/high concentration of solute via a semipermeable membrane. In this case, the Na+ and Cl- ions serve as the solutes, which when released out of the intestine causes the solution in the intestines to be HYPOTONIC compared to the intestinal environment. This causes an OSMOTIC GRADIENT.
This osmotic gradient i.e. difference in concentration provokes osmotic flow of water from the intestines, which has a low solute/high water concentration, to the outside of the intestines, which has a high solute/low water concentration. Hence, water is lost from the intestine because the solute concentration becomes low when sodium and chlorine ions are released.
The red blood cell does not have a nucleus. The lack of nucleus enables the rbc to have more room to contain hemoglobin which increases it's efficiency to carrying oxygen
Convection drives the circulation of air in the earth's atmosphere.
