Which field of physical science MOST directly explains how the motion of the continents over 100 million
years led to mountains and volcanoes in some places above land and deep ocean trenches in other
places beneath the ocean surface? - ANSWER-Earth science
Satellites orbiting Earth scan the light reflected from below, and the data can then be analyzed to get
information about the objects that reflected the light. This technology is called "remote sensing." For
example, they can even distinguish between Astroturf in a football field and real grass on the ground
below, even though these look the same to the human eye.
Which field of science would MOST directly devise ways to detect and analyze reflected light obtained by
remote sensing? - ANSWER-Physics
A scientist sets out to test his hypothesis that warmer sand temperatures during the incubation of turtle
eggs produce female hatchlings and cooler sand temperatures produce males. The independent variable
is - ANSWER-the temperature.
The variable that a scientist changes in an experiment is called the - ANSWER-independent variable.
Which term BEST describes a research project in which scientists place microphones at the bottom of
the seafloor to study the sounds orca whales make? - ANSWER-A field study
The Hubble space telescope was launched into orbit to take far sharper images than possible on Earth. It
has since collected data that show some distant stars to have planets. The scientific investigation
involved is BEST described as - ANSWER-an observational study
Which field relies the MOST on laboratory studies? - ANSWER-Chemistry
