Homeostasis is the ability to maintain constant internal conditions when outside conditions change.

For example, when temperatures in the body fall below 37° C, the nervous system signals the muscular system to

cause the body to shiver. When you shiver, your muscles move. Tiny muscles attached to hairs on the skin contract and pull the hairs up straight, forming goose bumps. This movement generates thermal energy and helps raise body

temperature. Keeping the body’s temperature constant requires that the endocrine system, the nervous system, and the muscular system work together.

Many marine organisms depend on up welling to bring nutrients to the surface. How might El Nino affect a fisherman's way of life

svp [43]

During an El Nino, warm water gathers along the West coast of South America, so the nutrient rich water is no longer being upwelled. keeping in mind that cold water sinks and warm water rises, usually the warm water near coastal regions would not be full of nutrients compared to the cold water where the nutrients fall. therefore, more fish will be located or migrate to areas of this nutrient rich cold water instead. So, many fishermen would not have high yields of fish ultimately affecting their way of life and money. also a lot of these fish that remain at the surface would not be as healthy or nutrient rich.

hope that helps! :))
