Answer:
What Keene High school students are you reading about? And what scientist are you talking about? If you had given more information I would have helped. Anyways, just look at what it says in the book that the scientist did, and what the Keene high school students did. And see what they both have in common.
Answer:
In physics, electromagnetic radiation (EM radiation or EMR) refers to the waves (or their quanta, photons) of the electromagnetic field, propagating (radiating) through space, carrying electromagnetic radiant energy. It includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared, (visible) light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays.
Explanation:
If I understood the question.
Answer:
What statements can I choose from?
Explanation:
1. The carbon-dioxide increases in atmosphere by fossil-fuels, decaying-dead, automobiles etc. and when animals or plant die they get buried and carbon content increases under the ground.
2. Greenhouse gas are those gases which trap heat in the atmosphere and maintain the temperature of the earth.
3. Diamond and graphite are solid forms of carbon.
4. Dry ice is the carbon as liquid.
5. Autotrophs make simple sugar glucose via photosynthesis and this sugar is used by heterotrophs as a substrate for respiration in the presence of oxygen.
Explanation:
When the fuels from automobiles, fossil-fuel, dead decaying organism release carbon in the atmosphere, the increase in carbon dioxide is the cause of global warming.
Greenhouse gases absorb the infrared radiations from the earth's surface and reradiate it back to the atmosphere. In short greenhouse gases allow sun's rays to pass through and maintain the earth's temperature otherwise the earth will become too cold to sustain lives.
It is practical knowledge in the sense that we know why some parts of the world are inherently risky to live in. Even though volcanic eruptionis, earthquakes and tsunamis are difficult to predict, it makes sense to have building codes and emergency plans that take this into account.
It is science’s response to the beliefs that natural catastrophes (volcanism, earthquakes and tsunamis) are divine punishments for the evil ways of some individuals.
Even if you will never use or apply this knowledge, knowing about the theory of plate tectonics gives you a current scientific perspective on what we know about the natural world.
It is a good example of how scientific theories proceed by trying to fit several observations into a coherent explanation.
Learning about the observations that needed to be made and explained for the theory to win over scientists helps caution you against people who adopt belief systems without questioning the myths told to them, or those who try to profit from ignorance of how nature actually works.
When it is well taught, it should convince you that, like any scientific theory, plate tectonics is a “work in progress”. New discoveries continue to be made, and it takes creative and logical thinking, debate and a quest for more observations in order to determine which ones prove or challenge the current theory and which ones may lead to its refinement.
