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.

The correct flowchart is energy - > atmosphere - > air pressure - > convection - > global winds. This is a very simple process as explained.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The energy from the sun actually heats up the land surface and the water surface of the earth. As the land gets heated up, the layer of atmosphere that is adjacent to the land and water also gets heated up. This leads to the decrease of air density as the heat causes expansion of gases. With decrease in air density, the air pressure also drops and the air from the cooler layer of atmosphere above comes to fill up the space and this heated air goes up. This causes the convection current to get set up. This causes the global winds and different oceanic currents to flow all over the earth throughout the year.

Explain evaporation in 3 to 5 sentences
alukav5142 [94]
Evaporation is a type of vaporization that occurs on the surface of a liquid as it changes into the gas phase. The surrounding gas must not be saturated with the evaporating substance. When the molecules of the liquid collide, they transfer energy to each other based on how they collide with each other
