What is happening to the reefs in the ocean?

• They're growing!

• Ocean acidification is breaking them down.

• They're a popular tourist attraction.

• Global warming isn't hurting them!

A group of scientists tested a hypothesis about acid rain's effects on soil quality. The data from their experiment did not support their hypothesis. What does it mean for scientists if their data does not support their hypothesis?

• They will need to discard this data and find other data that supports the hypothesis.

• They will need to devise a new hypothesis based on the data analysis.

• Their ideas will not be valuable to other scientists.

• Their investigation will never be fully explained.
