because they occur near mid-ocean ridges. Chris says they are formed by meteors that have crashed into the ocean, because he saw it in an action movie. Who has the better scientific claim?
A) Sabrina, because her claim is based on research and logic.
B) Sabrina, because she doesn't watch movies.
C) Chris, because he has considered all the possible explanations.
D) Chris, because there is no data to prove him wrong.

The correct answer is A. Sabrina, because her claim is based on research and logic.

Explanation

A scientific claim is a way of proving a phenomenon (in this case a natural phenomenon) in which results of scientific tests are used in order to give reliability to the proposed answers, for this reason, Sabrina's statement that says that Seamounts are the result of a divergent plaque process is a scientific claim because it has been proven, while Chris's claim based on what he saw in a movie is not considered a scientific claim because he has no proof. So, the correct answer is A. Sabrina, because her claim is based on research and logic.

Salsk061 [2.6K]
The chemical reactions in the cell would not happen as fast and would require more energy to catalyze the reaction between the two reactants.

Mark brainliest if I helped you 

Chemistry/ Example: Take breathing for example, when you breath you breath out carbon dioxide. The CO2 can't just leave like that and only 10% binds to hemoglobin. The rest turns into carbonic acid in your blood and its plasma. However, the acid is unstable, so it turns into bicarbonate and a dissociated proton (H). You have carbonic anhydrase that converts the two so you can breath out CO2; the carbonic acid separates into H2O and CO2. This process would take a LONG time without the enzyme-- CO2 build up, even minimal amounts it lethal.

ss7ja [257]

The complete statement made by Stephen Hawking is: "though much of its behaviour through out history, has been pretty stupid, and not calculated to aid the survival of the species."

If one looks at our history, there are some events that defy our capacity for logical thinking. One would think that, as we possess this capacity, we would be able to direct our decisions towards the survival of the human species.

However, in many cases greed and the desire for personal gain have taken precedence. One good example was the burning of the great library of Alexandria, one of the most significant libraries in the ancient world. This magnificent collection was lost during the siege of Alexandria, when Julius Caesar set on fire the ships in the harbor.

Another example is the atomic bomb, when science has been used to invent one of the most destructive weapons known to us. Atomic warfare is still a threat that may end all life on Earth.

Furthermore, the greed of some corporations has led to multiple ecological catastrophes that endanger not only other species but our own future as well. One example is the Bhopal gas leak in India, where in 1984, due to poor maintenance, the chemical plant released 30 metric tons of methyl isocyanite into the atmosphere.
