Question

what would happen wednesday - what would happen if a giant asteroid was suddenly seen coming towards earth with an impact time of less than a year?
toss - up thursday - science job - research the following science - related job. in 3 - 4 paragraphs, state what people who have this job do and how science relates to their daily activities. chiropractor

Explanation:

For the first question about a giant asteroid approaching Earth, scientific knowledge about astronomy, geology, and climate - science would be used to predict impacts like massive tsunamis, climate - change due to dust in the atmosphere, and destruction of habitats. For the second question on chiropractors, knowledge of human anatomy, biomechanics, and medical science is needed to explain their work in diagnosing and treating neuromusculoskeletal disorders through spinal adjustments and other manual therapies.

Answer:

If a giant asteroid was seen coming towards Earth with an impact time of less than a year: There would likely be global panic. Scientists would work to assess the size, trajectory, and potential impact site. Depending on the size, it could cause massive tsunamis if it hits the ocean, or create large - scale destruction and dust clouds if it hits land. The dust clouds could block sunlight, leading to a drop in temperature and disruptions to agriculture and ecosystems.

Chiropractors are healthcare professionals who focus on the neuromusculoskeletal system. They diagnose and treat conditions related to the spine, muscles, and joints. They use manual adjustments, especially of the spine, to correct misalignments (subluxations) which they believe can affect the nervous system's function. Science is integral to their work as they rely on knowledge of human anatomy, biomechanics to understand how the body moves and functions, and research on the effectiveness of spinal manipulations for various conditions.
