Answer: There are few ‘laws’ in science. Those ‘laws’ are so named for historical reasons, but they are theoretical in nature. They set out what happens when a theory is applied in practice. A theory is simply the best explanation we have for understanding why some process takes place and predicting what the result will be.
Explanation: Anyone who describes something as “just a theory” does not understand what a theory is. Laws are arbitrary human rules. Theories are severely tested and re-tested explanations of why things happen in the real physical world and can be used to make predictions about outcomes.
Some would say that theories are about why something happens and laws (in science) describe what happens. But this simply makes a scientific ‘law’ a subset of a scientific theory, explaining how to make predictions.
Answer:
C. The evolution of many species from a single ancestor over a long period of time
12/44 = 0.2727
(X100)
= 27
( therefore the percent mass of carbon in carbon dioxide is 27%)
Answer:
Hydrosphere
Explanation:
When the sun impacts weather, an interaction with the hydrosphere takes place. The hydrosphere is the part of the earth that is enveloped by water. Water exists in three different forms on the earth based on diverse factors.
Weather is the atmospheric condition of a place over a short period of time.
The sun causes the warming of the earth surface which leads to evaporation of water vapor into the atmosphere.
This water in the atmosphere is forms rainfall, one of the elements of weather.
The sun causes an impact on weather by causing evaporation of water into the atmosphere.
This interaction takes place in the hydrosphere.
