In order to understand the impact of climate change, a scientist collected measurements of average yearly sea surface temperatur
es from 1880 to 2012. His data is graphed below. What scientific question could be most accurately investigated based on the data collected by this scientist? How did volcanic activity change with average sea surface temperatures?
How did melting arctic sea ice change average sea surface temperatures?
How did average sea surface temperatures change with increased aquaculture?
How did average sea surface temperatures change with time?
How did average sea surface temperatures change with time?
Explanation:
From the analogy given for this experiment, the most best and accurate scientific question to investigate from the graph is the pattern by which the average sea surface temperatures changes with time.
We have been given a graph of surface temperature and the the year range from 1880 to 2012.
From the plot we see that the average temperature has been increasing over this period of time.
The changes in the surface temperature with time is the best scientific question to ask here.
