The scientific method is an iterative process--this means that one answer leads to more questions. Make a prodiction about the source of the environmental stimulus termites follow in their natural environment. Be specific about what the environmental stimulus is and where it might come from.

Thank you

Solution

Termites are blind. They depend upon vibrations or pheromones to communicate. Termites distinguish different colonies because of characteristic pheromone of a particular colony. Termites leave a trail of pheromone during walking so that other termites may follow the trail. The ink of a pen has the composition similar to the pheromones, due to which the termites follow the trail of pen ink.

Other external stimuli are vibrations. The termites live in underground tunnels. In a case of danger, a termite beats its head against the wall of the underground tunnel. The vibrations, thus, produced cautions other colony members.
