How are fossil fuels related to climate change?​

Biology

Answer:Fossil fuels produce large quantities of carbon dioxide when burned. Carbon emissions trap heat in the atmosphere and lead to climate change. In the United States, the burning of fossil fuels, particularly for the power and transportation sectors, accounts for about three-quarters of our carbon emissions.

Answer:

The main component in fossil fuels/natural gases is called methane. When methane is burned with oxygen, it produces water and a large amount of greenhouse gases (commonly known as carbon dioxide). Carbon emissions from this process trap heat in the earth's atmosphere which leads to climate change. These gases are able to trap heat because their molecular structures allow them to absorb the infrared radiation from the sun.

Hope this helps!

Which human body systems interact to perform temperature regulation along with the nervous and endocrine systems?
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

Hypothalamus of human body system interact to perform temperature regulation along with nervous system and endocrine system.

Explanation:

Hypothamus is an important part of our lower brain that play a significant role in regulation of body temperature.

   Hypothalamus works with nervous system along with the other parts of our body such as blood vessels,skin and sweat gland to maintain temperature homeostasis of human body.

  When our body temperature rises at that time hypothalamus slows down the rate of metabolism of our body to restrict further increase in our body temperature and also dilates the blood vessels present beneath the skin so that body can liberate heat to the environment.

 on the other hand when the body temperature decreases at that time hypothalamus increases the metabolic rate of our body to increase the body temperature and also the constrict the blood vessels present under the skin.
