Shivering occurs when the core temperature of the body begins to decrease which would threaten normal body function. Shivering is a response by the body to bring back temperature back to homeostasis. Trembling is the continual involuntary contraction of muscles. Muscle activity releases heat that warms up the body. This is the reason why we sweat during physical activities as the body sheds excess heat generated by the muscles in order to maintain the homeostatic body temperatures of 37 degrees centigrade.

Answer:

The increase in the amount of  carbon dioxide in in blood will lead to respiratory acidosis

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide in its normal level between  38 to 42 mm Hg plays vital roles in the human body like regulating the PH of the human blood, breathing regulation and other things. If the amount of carbon dioxide is high more than the range level, it will cause what is called respiratory acidosis.

Respiratory acidosis is a situation in cause by decrease in ventilation i.e Oxygen level leading to increase in carbon dioxide and drop in PH level of the blood.

daser333 [38]
Natural gases are gases that are found deep underground. These gases have formed through billions of years by organisms that have decayed or decomposed and released natural gases. Natural gas can be obtained by drilling into a particular ground. Scientists can determine certain locations of natural gases in several methods like studying the geology of an area, inspecting its seismic energy, as well as looking into its magnetic properties. Many natural gas sites are located in the United Arab Emirates area.
