performing tests to see if the hypothesis is correct
experiment
Knowing about these could help us build better/stronger buildings in the future
earthquakes
the study of Earth
geology
The planet we live on

What are floods, mudslides, tsunamis?
Device used to measure the quantity and quality of gases released from a volcano
spectrometer
hypothesis
How does Florida prepare for its own geological disasters?
A/C. back-up generators, food trucks, maintenance crews, and sandbags. (Hurricanes)
We also dig canals, try to protect our swamps, mangroves, and grasslands to prevent erosion and flooding.
the use of data to draw conclusions, formulate theories, and develop scientific laws and principles
interpretation/ to be a scholar
Name the three branches of goverment that are able to help with natural disasters
Federal, State, Local
a scientific measuring device that is used to measure how much the ground swells/moves in response to a volcano
the data obtained by performing an experiment
results
Give me a different reason than the ones we mentioned why it is important to study geology. (Be serious.)
Maybe something about how it is important so we can protect our resources and use them to provide a future for the next generation or to preserve the Earth's natural beauty
assumption based on pre-existing beliefs or previous experience/experiments
Fact, Law, Principle used to better understand the world around us
the set of procedures used by scientists to make discoveries and study the world
