The plant is composed of different pigments like chlorophyll, carotenoids and anthocyanins. The dominant one is chlorophyll which gives leaves its green characteristic cholor. The chlorophyll is abundant in plants because it is responsible for the process of photosynthesis. But when the season changes to longer nights and less sunlight, the chlorophyll cannot be used. So, it spends it reserves through other pigments. Hence, it changes color. A yellow leaf has dominant caretonoid pigment.

What is the relationship between the salinity and density of ocean water?
BartSMP [9]
Salinity and density share a positive relationship. As density increases, the amount of salts in the water—also known as salinity, increases. Various events can contribute to change in the density of seawater. Salinity can decrease from the melting of polar ice or increase from the freezing of polar ice.
