Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

As Mercury was molten, the dense iron core formed from sinking iron and nickel. But smaller Mercury cooled off much faster than Earth, so its core cooled and started shrinking as it froze solid. This contraction caused the crust above to wrinkle and form the vast scarps that run across Mercury's crust.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
