Science & Engineering 1
This is the purpose of scientists' investigations.
What is to answer questions about natural phenomenon?
Engineers often build this kind of model to test and refine the solution to an engineering problem.
What is a prototype?
This is the unit used to express values of longitude or latitude.
What are degrees?
This type of map shows land elevations.
What is a topographic map?
This is what GPS relies on to gather data for making maps.
What are satellites?
This is an explanation that is supported by scientific medicine.
What is scientific theory?
This is when one variable in a scientific experiment decreases, the other variable increases.
What is a negative correlation?
Some land masses become distorted in size when this is done.
What is the three-dimensional globe is projected as a two-dimensional map.
This type of map shows average annual precipitation and temperature.
What is a climate map?
The ocean floor can be mapped using technology mounted on these.
What are satellites?
This is a tentative explanation for a natural phenomenon that can be tested to determine if it may be true.
What is a hypothesis?
If an experiment shows a correlation between two variables it cannot necessarily be determined if there is this kind of relationship.
What is a causal relationship?
This kind of map shows locations and distributions of natural resources.
What is a resource map?
This type of map shows physical characteristics and types of landforms in a region.
What is a relief map?
These are things that can be seen on a topographic map.
What are:
-locations of hills
-locations of natural freshwater resources
-elevation of land
This is how engineering is different from science.
What is engineering focuses on applications, while science focuses on explanations?
This type of map shows distribution and types of rocks and minerals.
What is a geologic map?
This type of map shows daily air mass movements, temperature, precipitation, and areas of similar air pressure.
What is a weather map?
