Correct Answer: C.

A hypothesis must have a clear prediction along with a rationale for that prediction. This can written in the "If...then...because..." format. For instance, a good hypothesis could be "if the temperature rises above 100°C then the water will boil because water's boiling point is 100°C.

The whole point of the experiment then is to test the hypothesis. By the end of the experiment there will either be supportive evidence for the hypothesis or a lack thereof. Either way, it was a testable hypothesis.

Archy [21]

The right option is; a. It is rich in minerals from volcanic deposits.

Volcanic soil (andisol) is a light and fluffy soil that is formed from volcanic ash and cinder deposits. Volcanic soil is very fertile because it is highly composed of non-crystalline minerals, such as allophane and imogolite from volcanic deposits. These minerals create strong bonds with organic matter which leads to the accumulation of organic matter in the soil. Volcanic soil has high water retention capability and it supports the growth of crops such as rice, maize and fruits.

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

The fossil record supports a "biological" type of evidence.

Explanation:

Fossils- this refers to the remains of prehistoric organism. It provides a trace of a once-living plant, animal or organism.

When it comes to evolution, fossils provide a biological type of evidence. This means that, it shows how organism have greatly changed from the past. When you study fossil records, you can compare it with the animal, plant or human structure nowadays. You can compare them side-by-side. So, you'd get that idea on how prehistoric things lived in the past and how they evolved up to the present day or became extinct.

Most of the fossils can be found on sedimentary rocks. You can also tell their ages according to which layer they belong. It is said that older layers consist of older fossils and they appear at the bottom while younger layers consist of younger fossils and they appear on top.
