Answer:

Please look at the explanation section

Explanation:

When the leaves begin to have a brighter color, it is because the chlorophyll begins to decompose, turning yellow or orange. As the amount of sunlight decreases, the chlorophyll pigments begin to break down. On cool nights these pigments are primarily responsible for producing a red pigment, which makes the leaves appear bright red. The low temperature and the lack of sunlight lead to a decrease in the production of chlorophyll and its subsequent decomposition, and in the absence of chlorophyll other pigments can be observed, making the leaves appear brighter.

Answer:

Carotenoids and Anthocyanins

Explanation:

During the winter the sunlight is limited for a long period of time. Plants will lose their leaves but first they will turn bright colors. The reason for this is as follows:

Plants' leaves appear green because of the presence of chlorophyll. During the fall the plants attempt to save energy. So, before they drop the leaves they first break down the chlorophyll into smaller molecules so they do not have to make the molecules from scratch all over again when spring comes. What is left behind is the Carotenoids that appear yellow and orange and Anthocyanins that appear purple.

Think about how the geologic time scale was created and how it is divided. Then answer the following questions.
katovenus [111]
The geologist time scale was formed when scientists studied rock layers and index fossils worldwide. With this information, they placed Earth's rocks in order by relative age. Later, radioactive dating helped determine the exact age of the divisons in the geologic time scale.

This scale is organized by the 4.6 billion years of earth's history into sections based on important changes seen in the geologic record. The largest intervals are called eons, with each eon containing many millions of years.

In precambarian time the processes that affect Earth's surface have lessened the erosion on the surface. Earth was being hit by meteorites every second. Now there is water erosion and there wasn't back then. The surface changes have lessened over time.

When you lose your sense of speed and become unconcerned with the dangers you are experiencing?
Yuki888 [10]
The answer is highway hypnosis. It is also known as white line fever. This happens when the driver while traveling in far places becomes fully focused on the roads and gains automatic responses to the vehicles on road situations which are correct. However, this is being done in an unconscious state.
