Explain how scientific knowledge is developed when people make observations about the natural world.

Answers

We typically think of observations as having been seen "with our own eyes," but in science, observations can take many forms. Of course, we can make observations directly by seeing, feeling, hearing, and smelling, but we can also extend and refine our basic senses with tools: thermometers, microscopes, telescopes, radar, radiation sensors, X-ray crystallography, mass spectroscopy, etc. And these tools do a better job of observing than we can! Further, humans cannot directly sense many of the phenomena that science investigates (no amount of staring at this computer screen will ever let you see the atoms that make it up or the UV radiation that it emits), and in such cases, we must rely on indirect observations facilitated by tools. Through these tools, we can make many more observations much more precisely than those our basic senses are equipped to handle.

Tools like the Hubble Space Telescope, microscopes and submersibles help us to observe the natural world.

Observations yield what scientists call data. Whether the observation is an experimental result, radiation measurements taken from an orbiting satellite, an infrared recording of a volcanic eruption, or just noticing that a certain bird species always thumps the ground with its foot while foraging — they're all data. Scientists analyze and interpret data in order to figure out how those data inform their hypotheses and theories. Do they support one idea over others, help refute an idea, or suggest an entirely new explanation? Though data may seem complex and be represented by detailed graphs or complex statistical analyses, it's important to remember that, at the most basic level, they are simply observations.
Observations inspire, lend support to, and help refute scientific hypotheses and theories. However, theories and hypotheses (the fundamental structures of scientific knowledge) cannot be directly read off of nature. A falling ball (no matter how detailed our observations of it may be) does not directly tell us how gravity works, and collecting observations of all the different finch species of the Galapagos Islands does not directly tell us how their beaks evolved. Scientific knowledge is built as people come up with hypotheses and theories, repeatedly test them against observations of the natural world, and continue to refine those explanations based on new ideas and observations. Observation is essential to the process of science, but it is only half the picture.

Answer:

Scientific knowledge is developed when people make observations about the natural world. An observation may generate a scientific question, which may lead to a hypothesis. The hypothesis can be tested through experimentation. The results of the experimentation may lead to changes in scientific knowledge.

What Are the (2) most important climatic factors for the Indian people?​

Answers

Answer:

Latitudinal Location and Distance from the Ocean/Sea.

Explanation:

Latitudinal Location because it is the distance from the equator. The farther away from the equator you get, the hotter it gets, and vice versa.

Distance from the ocean/sea because the ocean/sea is a heat reservoir. It stores heat, and lets it out when its cool, therefore making places near the sea have either colder or warmer temperatures depending on the time of year.

What are some advantages to an oligarchic form of government?

Answers

Answer:

Power is centralized within a leadership team, rather than involving everyone in every decision.

People can participate in activities, relationships, and work while the group in power handles the larger issues of the society.

An oligarchy strives to keep the status quo, which breeds conservatism instead of taking on risky ventures.

It can foster creativity and innovation because people are free from worries about running society.

Answer:

Oligarchy allows citizens to have the time to focus on their daily lives, more creative technologies to be created.

This is because oligarchy gives power to a group of experts which makes the government function properly .

Which must be true for metamorphism to occur?
A. The parent rock must be in liquid form.
B. The parent rock must be igneous.
C. The process must take place underground.
D. The grain size must become smaller.

Answers

The parent rock must be in liquid form, must be true for metamorphism to occur. Hence, option A is correct.

What is  parent rock?

Parent rock is the fundamental rock that something else was produced from. It is mostly applied in the context of soil formation, where the parent rock typically has a significant impact on the final soil's composition.

Sandstone, shale, and limestone fall within this category. Metamorphic rock is the last type of parent rock. Extreme heat or pressure have resulted in the formation of metamorphic rocks. As a result, igneous or sedimentary rock changes in composition.

Thus, option A is correct.

the answer is the last one

A republic is different from a direct democracy: In a republic, citizens elect representatives to pass laws and make decisions for them. Thus, option D is the correct option.

The way decisions are made is what distinguishes a republic from a direct democracy. In a direct democracy, decisions are made and legislation is voted on by the citizens themselves. This may entail events or meetings where everyone is given the chance to cast a vote on laws or policies.

On the other hand, under a republic, people choose representatives who act as their voice in government and enact laws. These officials are chosen through elections and given the power to speak for the interests of the people and make decisions in their place.

Thus, option D is the correct option.

The West India Docks and Blackwall Basin, c. 1956.

An aerial view across the West India Docks towards Blackwall Basin, the original non-tidal entrance to the docks. To the right of the picture, the entrance lock from Blackwall Reach to the South Dock is clearly visible. In 1926, this dock (formerly the City Canal) was connected to the two northern import and export docks and to the adjacent Millwall Docks. Finally, in the far distance beyond Blackwall Point, lies the Victoria Dock, first of the mighty Royal Docks complex.

The West India Docks in 2001

The docks are now dominated by the Canary Wharf estate which extends over 86 acres of what was formerly the West India Docks. Until the closure of the docks in 1980, hundreds of dockers would have worked there. Now, thousands of office staff are employed on the estate. Although most of the dock area has been filled in, the Blackwall Basin remains, as does the entrance to the old South Dock and much of the dock water itself.

A vessel travelling from east to west across these docks would have passed through three miles of water crowded with ships, tugs and lighters. This aerial view of the docks clearly shows the extent of the complex, including the huge entrance locks at Gallions Reach.

Answers

Cobalt is an essential material that is mainly used in lithium ion batteries which are found in smartphones and some electric vehicles. Congo provide majority of the worlds supply of cobalt. Although having a surplus of valuable materials, Congo is one of the poorest nations. Because of the lack of money, those who mine cobalt in the Congo do not used power tools, gloves or mask, but instead they use their hands. With that, the miners would be exposed to high level of cobalt. Lung disease and heart failure have been linked to high levels of cobalt, and the mines that produces it are blamed for destroying landscapes, polluting water sources, contaminated crops and a loss of soil fertility.

1. Since these materials are greatly valued to make these popular products, the country mining these metals should have a good economy. Due to companies needing to purchase the mined metals in order to make products with the metals.

2. The economy in other countries without these metals would be lower. Unless they have valued goods that would higher their economy.

3. If mining increases, they would most likely be working on land that has potential for housing, businesses, etc. Due to the land loss for those potential structures the population would be lower since there is less land to accommodate increased population.

The processes which produce heat that contributed to the formation of Earth's different layers include the collision of materials, compaction of materials, and radioactive activity.

There are three different layers that make up the Earth which are the mantle, the crust and the core. They are made of solid rock which is usually granite and basalt.

The radioactive decay of the elements that are in the Earth's crust releases heat energy. It should be noted that about fifty percent of the internal heat that comes from the Earth is through radioactive decay.
