Why does this kind of volcano have the gentlest slope?
In this problem, you will compute the gradients of Mauna Loa in Hawai‘i, Mount Vsevidof in Alaska, and SP Mountain in Arizona. (You may also determine the elevation changes and distances needed to calculate these gradients by using Google Earth™.) The recommended starting point and distance to measure are given for all three volcanoes. What will be an ideal response?
According to the modulus ratio classification, the rocks with most uniform strength and elasticity are:
a. igneous b. detrital sedimentary c. metamorphic d. they are all about the same
Repeatability in an experiment is important because
A. independent investigators must be able to get the same results. B. only independent investigators must be able to get the same results and it helps to support the initial hypothesis. C. it helps to support the initial hypothesis. D. it eliminates bias. E. All of these are correct.
