A prediction of the theory of plate tectonics is that new volcanoes can form at the boundary of two plates as magma seeps betwee
n them. To test this hypothesis a scientist makes a map of existing volcanoes along a tectonic plate and measures the number of new volcanoes that appear over a decade. What would be the expected result of the experiment?
How could you interpret the results if the scientist observes no new volcanic activity?
The passage of time is likely to change the landscape. In addition, the volcanic plat movement is unpredictable, as do the volcanoes. Thus, the volcanic activity cannot be predicted with such accuracy with this method. As a result, there would be a deviance in the results.
Neurons that receive information from our sensory organs (e.g. eye, skin) and transmit this input to the central nervous system are called afferent neurons.
Neurons that send impulses from the central nervous system to your limbs and organs are called efferent neurons.
