Scientific Method
How many steps are in the Scientific Method?
7-8
What is a wave?
A disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another.
How can you determine the youngest rock layer?
If it is on top
How can you determine that a tsunami is about to occur?
Tides starts going further into the ocean.
What is natural selection?
Natural selection is the fundamental process of evolution where organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive, reproduce more, and pass on their advantageous traits to the next generation
What should a good question be for the Scientific Method?
It should be testable, measurable, and specific
What is a wavelength?
The distance between one wave from another.
How can you determine the oldest rock layer?
If it is on the bottom
What is a tornado?
A narrow, violently rotating column of air that extends from a thunderstorm to the ground
What is natural selection used for?
Natural selection is the primary mechanism of evolution, used by nature to shape, adapt, and diversify life over generations
What is the Scientific Method?
A process of answering observable questions.
What is a crest?
It is the top of a wave
What is in an intrusion?
A body of igneous rock that forces its way into pre-existing rock layers
What is a hurricane?
A tropical storm with high winds
How can you use natural selection?
It can be understood and observed to improve breeding, conservation, and farming
Why is the scientific method used?
It is used to answer an observable questions.
What is amplitude?
It is the height of the wave.
What is a rock layer?
Horizontal beds of sedimentary rock, sediment, or igneous rock
What is a volcano?
An opening in the Earth's crust that allows molten rock (magma), gases, and debris to escape from the planet's interior.
How can you see natural selection?
By observing how populations change over generations due to differential survival and reproduction
How is the scientific method used in other field of work?
Used to observe things
What is a trough?
It is the bottom of the wave
why is Austin Rositas da goat
Cause he's mad cute
What is a tsunami?
Giant waves caused by earthquakes or volcanic eruptions under the sea
When does natural selection usually occur?
Natural selection usually occurs when environmental pressures—such as competition for resources, predators, or climate shifts
