Answer:

Vasodilation:

Vasodilation may be defined as the dilation of the blood capillaries around the skin. The blood capillaries gets widen. The vascular resistance to the blood flow decrease. The blood pressure near the skin decreases. The increase in temperature may cause vasodilation.

Vasoconstriction:

Vasoconstriction may be defined as the constriction of the blood capillaries around the skin. The blood capillaries gets narrow. The vascular resistance to the blood flow increases. The blood pressure near the skin increases. The decrease in temperature may cause vasoconstriction.

IrinaVladis [17]

Explanation:

Answer:

For the complete encyclopedic entry with media resources, visit: http://www.nationalgeographic.org/encyclopedia/weathering/

Weathering describes the breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals on the surface of the Earth. Water, ice, acids, salts, plants, animals, and changes in temperature are all agents of weathering.

Once a rock has been broken down, a process called erosion transports the bits of rock and mineral away. No rock on Earth is hard enough to resist the forces of weathering and erosion. Together, these processes carved landmarks such as the Grand Canyon, in the U.S. state of Arizona. This massive canyon is 446 kilometers (277 miles) long, as much as 29 kilometers (18 miles) wide, and 1,600 meters (1 mile) deep.

Weathering and erosion constantly change the rocky landscape of Earth. Weathering wears away exposed surfaces over time. The length of exposure often contributes to how vulnerable a rock is to weathering. Rocks, such as lavas, that are quickly buried beneath other rocks are less vulnerable to weathering and erosion than rocks that are exposed to agents such as wind and water.

For example, certain kinds of air pollution increase the rate of weathering. Burning coal, natural gas, and petroleum releases chemicals such as nitrogen oxide and sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere. When these chemicals combine with sunlight and moisture, they change into acids. They then fall back to Earth as acid rain.

Why might it be beneficial for each firefly species to have its own unique light pattern?
AVprozaik [17]
<span>Fireflies use the bioluminescence to attract mates for mating hence key in reproduction. Therefore, beetles from different species should have different lighting patterns so that they can only attract mates of the same species. This would avoid interspecies mating which would probably involved expending energy in produce nonviable offspring which is inefficient (hence will be unfavoured natural selection).    </span>
