Answer:

When two things are correlated, it means that the two variables have a relationship in which the variables affect one another.

When we talk about positive correlations, it means that the variables vary in the same direction (it shows an upward trend when graphed). For example, increased exercise and muscle gain are positively correlated. If you INCREASE exercise, muscle gains will INCREASE.

On the other hand, increased exercise and fat gain are negatively correlated. If you INCREASE exercise, fat gain is DECREASED. Negative correlations will have a downward trend when graphed.

In Abrahamic religions, Sodom and Gomorrah have become synonymous with impenitent sin, and their fall with a proverbial manifestation of divine retribution. The Bible mentions that the cities were destroyed for their sins, haughtiness, egoism, and an attempt at u know.
