Answer to Question 1

Density of the material

Answer to Question 2

Lithospheric convection cannot work because of the very high viscosity of the materials, whereas the lower viscosity in the mantle and the huge mass permits slow mantle convection.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
