Which best describes the role of communication in scientific investigations? O Communication can help identify good scientific questions to further investigate.
Communication is not necessary once the data are collected because the scientists can do the data analysis
themselves.
O Communication should not be used in planning the experimental design because the scientists want to have
original ideas.
O Communication is important because the scientists need to convince other researchers not to challenge their
results.

This is a coral reef ecosystem. many biotic and abiotic factors affect the health of this ecosystem. which set correctly pairs a biotic factor and an abiotic factor?

An ecologist studied the same species of deer during the summer and the winter. she noticed that during the summer, when there was plenty of food, the deer were energetic and playful. however, during winter when food was scarce, the deer moved more slowly and did not run unless they needed to escape a predator. which scientific fact is best supported by her observations?

Subduction zones form when an oceanic plate collides with another oceanic plate or continental plate. the continental crust is lighter and less dense than oceanic crust. continental crust's density is approximately 2.7 grams per cubic centimeter. oceanic crust is thinner and the average density is about 3.3 cubic centimeters. when the two crustal plates converge the oceanic plate always bends and subducts beneath a continental plate. once the oceanic crust subjects, the rocks are subjected to changes in heat and pressure. because of this, we would expect to find rocks in the area of a subduction. a) clastic b) igneous c) metamorphic d) sedimentary
