These thermal infrared images of warm-blooded animals, show how birds and mammals maintain body temperatures well above the surrounding, cooler air temperature. Cold-blooded creatures take on the temperature of their surroundings. They are hot when their environment is hot and cold when their environment is cold.

Reptiles and amphibians are ectothermic, or cold-blooded. They are unable to generate their own body heat and thus cannot regulate their own body temperature.

Mammals and birds are warm blooded, which means they can make their own body heat. They can do this when it's too cold for them to survive outside.

What is the principal source of dissolved substances in the ocean

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

infiltration

Explanation:

As Na and Cl make up much of the dissolved common salts found in the ocean waters, the element in the earth's crust can be easily be dissolved in the rain and river and get carried away from the runoff of the river.

Infiltration is process by which water on the ground enters the soil. The porosity of the soil particles on land water determine the infiltration capacity and thus are a major source of dissolved sediments in water bodies.

Also, rainfall influences this rate of sediment flows in water all the organic and inorganic matter in the soil is mainly composed and collected from the rain and discharge rate of the soil. Weathering produces mass wasting and erosion of the landforms from the above and thus indirectly related to the dissolved content.
