An explanation for a natural phenomenon that relates and
|| || || || || || || ||
explains many observations and is supported by a great
|| || || || || || || || || ||
deal of evidence is called a:
|| || || || ||
A.) hypothesis ||
B.) controlled experiment
|| ||
C.) technology ||
D.) theory ||
E.) fact - CORRECT ANSWERS(S)✅✅D.) Theory
|| || || || ||
-theory may mean a guess, a hypothesis, a prediction, a
|| || || || || || || || || ||
notion, a belief. || ||
- highest level of certainty for any scientific knowledge
|| || || || || || || ||
Identify the source of the highest albedo?|| || || || || ||
a) fresh snow
|| ||
b) the Earth
|| ||
c) a pine forest
|| || ||
d) a grass covered meadow
|| || || ||
e) dark rock - CORRECT ANSWERS(S)✅✅a.) fresh snow
|| || || || || || ||
- reflects 80-90% of light
|| || || ||
,When old-growth forests are harvested it may take
|| || || || || || || ||
hundreds of years for the forest to || || || || || ||
restore itself. This period is known as:|| || || || || ||
a) population collapse
|| ||
b) population overshoot
|| ||
c) exponential decline
|| ||
d) lag time
|| ||
e) ecosystem interval - CORRECT ANSWERS(S)✅✅d.) lag
|| || || || || ||
time
||
- a period of time between two related actions
|| || || || || || || ||
In some ways, natural gas is considered a better fossil
|| || || || || || || || || ||
fuel than oil. This is primarily
|| || || || ||
because:
a) gas is found at shallower depths than oil
|| || || || || || || ||
b) gas is easier to transport over long distances than oil
|| || || || || || || || || ||
c) gas is a renewable resource
|| || || || ||
d) once a reservoir is located, gas commands a higher
|| || || || || || || || || ||
price than oil || ||
e) burning natural gas is cleaner than burning oil -
|| || || || || || || || || ||
CORRECT ANSWERS(S)✅✅e) burning natural gas is || || || || || ||
cleaner than burning oil || || ||
- natural gas is considered a relatively clean fuel
|| || || || || || || ||
, - produces fewer pollutants than burning oil or coal
|| || || || || || || ||
- could be a transition fuel to alternative energy
|| || || || || || || ||
Which of the following statements is true about Northern
|| || || || || || || || ||
Hemisphere Summer? ||
a) The Earth is closer to the sun
|| || || || || || ||
b) The northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun
|| || || || || || || ||
c) Light strikes the northern hemisphere at a more
|| || || || || || || || ||
oblique angle than in the NH winter
|| || || || || ||
d) More light reaches the Earth - CORRECT
|| || || || || || || ||
ANSWERS(S)✅✅b) The northern hemisphere is tilted || || || || || ||
towards the sun || ||
- look at graph
|| || ||
Premise: A straight line is the shortest distance between
|| || || || || || || || ||
two points.||
Premise: The line from A to B is the shortest distance
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
between points A and B. || || || ||
Conclusion: Therefore, the line from A to B is a straight || || || || || || || || || || ||
line.
The above syllogism is an example of _________________
|| || || || || || ||
a) a scientific proof
|| || ||
b) a hypothesis
|| ||
c) inductive reasoning
