Answer to Question 1

1 . radiation pressure: low-mass specks of dust and individual atoms and molecules were pushed outward and eventually driven from the system

2 . solar wind: strong surging wind from the young Sun may have helped push dust and gas out of the nebula

3 . sweeping up of space debris by the planets: All of the old, solid surfaces in the Solar System are heavily cratered by meteorite impacts during the period of heavy bombardment 4 billion years ago

4 . ejection of material from the Solar System by close encounters with planets: If a small object such as a planetesimal passes close to a planet, the small object's path will be affected by the planet's gravitational field. In some cases, the small object can gain energy from the planet's motion and be thrown out of the Solar System. Ejection is most probable in encounters with massive planets, so the Jovian planets were probably very efficient at ejecting the icy planetesimals that formed in their region of the nebula.

An identified risk factor for osteoporosis is the intake of excessive amounts of vitamin A. Dietary intake of approximately double the recommended daily amount of vitamin A, by women, has been shown to reduce bone mineral density and increase the chances for hip fractures compared with women who consumed the recommended daily amount (or less) of vitamin A.

Elderly adults are living longer, and causes of death are shifting. At the same time, autopsy rates are at or near their lowest in history.

Did you know?

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
