How do folded mountains form?
They form when plate boundaries diverge.
They form on the continent side of convergent boundaries.
They form when plates collide or push against each other.
They can form several different ways.
conclusion can be drawn.
true?
scientists.
a hypothesis.
plants grow better. You divide the
plants into four groups.
Plant Groups Group Music Type
A jazz
B classical
C rock
D none
What is group D called??
Which two processes could result in the formation of high mountains with well-rounded peaks?
volcanic eruptions and global warming
earthquakes and tidal activity
movement of tectonic plates and erosion
production of greenhouse gases and weathering
Tyler is conducting an experiment in order to determine the effect that fertilizer A and fertilizer B have on St. Augustine grass. He conducts multiple trials and concludes that St. Augustine grass grows faster and thicker with the application of fertilizer A.
How could Tyler make sure his results were trustworthy?
Tyler could change the amount of water each sample of grass received
Another scientist could reproduce the same experiment.
Another Scientist could offer suggestions to make the experiment better.
Another Scientist could offer suggestions to make the experiment better.
John performed an experiment. He feels that replicating his results will increase the validity of his results. Which of the following is an example of replication?
another student copying John's experiment without permission
another student redoing John's experiment to check for validity
John researching another scientist's experiment for similarities
John redoing his own experiment to check for validity
Geologists are studying a rock formation called Devil’s Tower. They want to know how and when it formed. Which method(s) would they MOST LIKELY use to conduct their investigation?
controlled experiments on weathering rates of rock materials
making careful measurements of the size of the formation
observations of rock layers and dating of the rock samples
cataloging the wildlife living on or near Devil’s Tower
A controlled experiment is a means of carrying out a fair test of a hypothesis. In a controlled experiment, all of the variables that can influence the outcome variable of the experiment are controlled or held constant, except for the independent variable.
Which of the following hypotheses would NOT be tested using a controlled experiment?
A biologist’s hypothesis that increases in average temperatures cause an increase in honey bee population.
A geologist’s hypothesis about how the Grand Canyon formed.
A geologist’s hypothesis that acid rain weathers sedimentary rock more rapidly than igneous rock.
A biologist’s hypothesis that the use of fertilizer increases the growth of grass.
John wanted to find out which laundry soap was best for removing grass stains. Each soap was mixed with warm water. It was then used to scrub a piece of grass-stained cloth for 1 minute. The amount of stain left on the cloth was then measured.
What is the dependent variable?
the water temperature
the laundry soap
the amount of stain left on the cloth
the scrubbing time for each cloth
A scientist has a hypothesis involving the genes of two spotted lizard breeds. He believed that small spots are dominant. He also believed that if a lizard with small spots bred with a lizard with large spots, the offspring would have small spots. He designed an experiment to determine whether his hypothesis was correct.
After he completes his experiment, which of the following additional steps would have the GREATEST impact on strengthen his ideas?
He should repeat his experiment at least one more time before sterilizing his equipment.
He should send his results to another scientist to look over.
He should take the lizards to a wildlife sanctuary and release them.
He should repeat his experiment then have someone else replicate his experiment.
