Why do people go pale when they are cold?

1 answer:

3 0

People get pale when they’re cold because your body is trying to conserve heat. Heat is nessecary to maintain homeostasis, and in a response to this, your blood vessels in your skin constrict (get smaller), so less blood goes to your skin, so that your body can redirect the blood to your core, where all the good stuff is like your organs.

Blood is what makes our skin a pinkish color, if white people did not have blood, we would look like vampires. When there is less blood in your skin, the pink color goes away and leaves a pale white.

I hope this helps!

Doss [256]

The correct answer is A.The climate is changing rapidly but it will be too expensive to fix.

Climate change involves important long-term changes in climate patterns as well as other features on land and bodies of water. This phenomenon has occurred naturally during the history of Earth; however, nowadays climate change has accelerated due to human activities that produce global warming and therefore the increase in temperatures and changes in climate.

According to this, the only statement that is not based on climate change denial is "The climate is changing rapidly but it will be too expensive to fix" because in this statement the speaker recognizes climate change is real and considers it is a serious issue that might be difficult to solve.
