1


Leaves change colors in the fall because

They produce less chlorophyll, which keeps them green




c)
The plant sucks the green in to use as strength for the winter, much in the same way Popeye eats his spinach

Demeter. Her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped by Hades. So, to make a long story short, in the half of the year when Hades gets Persephone, Demeter makes everything die, hence winter.

Haven't I mentioned something before about being on a Mythology forum?
