Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

True

Explanation:

James Hutton worked on basic principles of geology called uniformitarianism, which explains that every earth event that took place have taken time for its formation and everything has to go through uniform pattern of development. Thus, he do not believe in biblical estimation of earth's age.

What does a red shift in light from distant celestial objects indicate to a scientist on earth?

Answers

A red shift in light from a distant source is always assumed to indicate
that the distant source is moving away from us. That would certainly
cause it, and we don't know of anything else that would, so it's the only
way we know to explain it.

Just about all of modern Cosmology, including the whole idea of the
expanding universe, is based on that interpretation of the red shift.

Understand this: That interpretation does explain many things that
we do see in space, and it predicts things that we do find when we
look for them. But that does not prove it, and there is no way to prove
it. So it's perfectly correct to say that it's "only a theory".

Just like gravity, atoms, and the nature of light.

A botanist observes a large population of a particular type of beetle eating the leaves of one tree but not the leaves of a nearby tree. What should the botanist do first to study the interaction of these organisms in the ecosystem?

Answers

Answer:

The botanist should make an hypothesis for your observation (the interaction between population of beetle and leaves of trees)

Explanation:

According to the scientific method, the first step is to make observations about some process or system. In the present case, the botanist observes a large population of a particular type of beetle eating the leaves of one tree but not the leaves of a nearby tree.

Once an observation was made, the second step is to write an hypothesis that suggest something about the observation (for example beetles choose that trees that have more palatable leaves, or leaves with particular compounds).

After the ywo mentioned steps, the botanist can plan an experiment, execute it and so on.

What occurs during a decomposition reaction?

Answers

Answer & explanation:

The decomposition reaction occurs when a compound, by spontaneous (if unstable) or non-spontaneous (if stable) action, when chemically defragmented, generates two new products.

For example:

2AB (s)* → 2A (s) + 2B (g)*

*s is for solid and g for gas

This reaction shows a simple compound AB decomposing into two substances A and B.

What often occurs in decomposition reactions is the formation of a gas (g) and its release after the reaction, due to the fact that the compounds are formed by electron(e⁻) affinity, and gases are extremely electronegative.

a compound partitions into it's components.
