Science inquiry is considered to be adversarial in the sense that, it openly attempts to labelled and disprove opposing views or research results as erroneous, with partiality and prejudice.
Hence, according to Goodstein (2000), the characteristic of scientific inquiry that emphasizes that if an idea is falsified when it is tested, science is thereby advanced because this result will spur the development of new and better ideas is ADVERSARIAL
Tectonic plate movement under the Earth can create landforms by pushing up mountains and hills. Erosion by water and wind can wear down land and create landforms like valleys and canyons.
