You would know that the variable is quantitative if it shows any number to express the quantity. For example, quantitative variables are 50°C, 5 atm, 2 moles, 100 L and so on. A variable is qualitative if it expresses a relative quantity but not expressing a number. Examples would be: few, too hot, several, or even describing the characteristics of a variable. Hence, when the variable is in grams, then that would be quantitative.
1. A filter was used to separate the sand from the salt water solution (The process of decanting was used if a filer was not available).
2. A Bunsen burner was used to boil away the water from the salt water solution leaving only salt.
I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.
Answer:
Ocean temperature plays an important role in the Earth's climate system—particularly sea surface temperature (see the Sea Surface Temperature indicator)—because heat from ocean surface waters provides energy for storms and thereby influences weather patterns.
