            that the shrinking Earth idea could not explain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            1. Astronomers have long accepted that plate tectonics exists
              nowhere in our solar system except on Earth. In 2011, a scientist
              analyzed 100
              NASA-space-mission photographs of Valles Marineris on Mars, the longest<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

              known series of canyons in the solar system. The scientist found that
              Valles Marineris showed features found only in locations on Earth where
              major tectonic plates divide. What would be the appropriate response of
              scientists to this information\u2714\u2714\u2714 Carry out further research to gain
              more understanding of possible plate tectonics on Mars
              12.According to the theory of plate tectonics, volcanoes are especially
              likely to form along plate boundaries because of rising magma. New
              satellite data mapping the ocean floor reveals thousands of seamounts,
              which are small volcanoes. Some of the seamounts are in lines that could
              correspond to past or present plate boundaries, but many are not aligned in
              this way. How should scientists appropriately respond to the idea that
              some new mechanism of forming the volcanoes is involved\u2714\u2714\u2714 Carry
              out more research to understand better how the seamounts form
              13.For many decades, scientists thought they understood how ozone
              breaks down in the stratosphere, creating ozone holes. However, new data
              show significantly lower reaction rates than can be explained by the longheld model. What is the appropriate scientific approach for dealing with
              this contradiction\u2714\u2714\u2714 Conduct additional experiments to confirm the
              new data<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Chemistry focuses on the study of atoms and molecules, their structures, and their interactions
                  to form various substances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Question 4 of 14
                  The science BEST for studying photosynthetic bacteria is Life science.
                  Life science focuses on environments, biological entities, and many other related fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Question 5 of 14
                  Which of the following terms best describes a research project that involves sending a space
                  probe to a distant asteroid to land on it and collect data?
                  a controlled experiment
                  a field study
                  a laboratory experiment
                  Even though the scientists are not on the asteroid, they are conducting data collection in the
                  field.
                  Question 6 of 14
                  A main reason to do a field study rather than a laboratory experiment is if
                  Question 7 of 14
                  Which of these fields depends the MOST on observational
                  studies? physics
                  Earth science
                  chemistry
                  While scientists today have many techniques and procedures to replicate unique experiments
                  that answer can answer questions about the Earth, most of the data collected is still
                  observed.
                  Question 8 of 14
                  The kinetic theory of gases is based on the assumption that the molecules that form the gas are
                  in random motion and bounce off the walls of their container and off each other as if they
                  were billiard balls. The forces between real molecules are more complicated.
                  This is an example of
                  An observational study focuses on collecting data and observing phenomena in the field
                  or laboratory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Question 9 of 14
                  Why can\u2019t astronomers carry out a scientific research study to determine which visible star,
                  other than our sun, is the nicest?
                  The Hubble telescope has better uses.
                  Existing telescopes aren\u2019t powerful enough.
                  There is no way to prove any answer wrong.
                  A project of that sort cannot get funding.
                  \u201cNicest\u201d is subjective. Consider the people who like summer versus winter, or vice versa.
                  Question 10 of 14
                  Galileo found that when air resistance can be ignored, heavier and lighter objects fall in the
                  same way. He tested this rule and confirmed it was consistent with all available data.
                  The rule Galileo found can BEST be described as a
                  The rule Galileo found was a tested conclusion describing something very specific that happens,
                  and was supported by all available data.
                  Question 11 of 14
                  Which of these describes a statement that has usually NOT yet been
                  tested? a hypothesis
                  a model
                  a theory
                  a law
                  A hypothesis is a testable statement about how something in nature works. It is typically the
                  best tentative assumption that researchers can make based on the evidence they already have at
                  that point.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
