Answer:

Experimentation

Explanation:

The loblolly pine tree is a member of the yellow pine group which is grown in plantations for commercial production of timber.The tree itself can reach a height of 40 meters with a truck of 1 meter in diameter.Pines have long needle-like leaves held in bundles. A researcher can measure the length of the needles, count the number of needles in a bundle, and measure the length of the sheath.Loblloly pine needles measure up to 17 cm long.The researcher can also weigh a bundle and determine the weight of the needles.This is field experiment that will require a measuring device for weight and length so observation alone won't provide the needed data.

Answer:

The correct answer will be- both observation and experimentation

Explanation:

The determination of length and weight of the pine trees of the forest can be determined by the scientific method.

The observation must be done to measure the length and weight of the trees using the instruments whereas the calculation of the measurement must be done through a systematic approach to calculating the average.

Both observation and experimentation are steps of the scientific method which can lead to the answer therefore,  both observation and experimentation are correct.

What is 34 + (5) × (1.2465) written with the correct number of significant figures?
bonufazy [111]

Answer: 40

Explanation:

= 34 + 5 * 1.2465

= ‭40.2325‬

= 40

The number of significant figures in the answer should be the same as the number with the least number of significant figures that any of the digits in the equation have.

32 has 2 significant figures so the answer has to be 2 significant figures which is 40.

You have given a power supply, copper wire, and an iron nail. What should you do to decrease the strength of the electro magnet?
Shkiper50 [21]
If you wrap some of the wire around the nail in one direction and some of the wire in the other direction, the magnetic fields from the different sections fight each other and cancel out, reducing the strength of your magnet.

I NEED HELP ASAP!!! 100 points if you answer these 7 questions:
netineya [11]

Answer:

#1. B. Alfred Wegener

#2. C. Volcanic activity at the ocean bottom.

#3. B, C. Continental, Sea floor (oceanic).

#4. B. Folding

#5. B. Tectonics

#6. C. Point underground where the earthquake starts

#7. C. Flood waters carrying away soil

Explanation:

#1. Alfred Lothar Wegener was a German polar researcher, geophysicist and meteorologist. During his lifetime he was primarily known for his achievements in meteorology and as a pioneer of polar research, and is also known as the father of plate tectonics.

#2. The most prominent feature of ocean topography discovered in the 1960s was: Volcanic activity at the ocean bottom. The continents have always been in their current positions.

#3. Tectonic plates are composed of oceanic lithosphere and thicker continental lithosphere, each topped by its own kind of crust. The two types of tectonic plates are continental and oceanic tectonic plates.

#4. Tremendous pushing forces exerted by two of Earth's plates moving together squeezed rock layers from opposite sides. This caused the rock layers to buckle and fold, forming folded mountains. Folded mountains are mountains formed by the folding of rock layers caused by compression forces.

#5. Plate tectonics is the scientific theory explaining the movement of the earth's crust. It is widely accepted by scientists today. Recall that both continental landmasses and the ocean floor are part of the earth's crust, and that the crust is broken into individual pieces called tectonic plates.

#6. The hypocenter is the point within the earth where an earthquake rupture starts. The epicenter is the point directly above it at the surface of the Earth. Also commonly termed the focus. See also epicenter.

#7. This process is known as erosion. In earth science, erosion is the action of surface processes that removes soil, rock, or dissolved material from one location on the Earth's crust, and then transports it to another location.

Hope this helps!

Have a nice day!
