Question

science and all of its tools and tricks help us understand and perhaps mitigate natural disasters. we make observations, collect data, come up with hypotheses, test them and then apply the results to our society. what is this entire process referred to as?
○ experimentation
○ scientific method
○ disaster reconnaissance
○ hypothetical analysis

question 13
what elements do disaster \predictions\ have in common?
○ must be from a credible psychic
○ time range with statistical percentages
○ fatalities greater than 100
○ date, time, and disaster size

Explanation:

1. The process of making observations, collecting data, formulating hypotheses, testing them and applying results is the scientific method. Experimentation is just part of it, disaster reconnaissance is about post - disaster assessment and hypothetical analysis is more focused on the hypothesis part only.
2. Disaster predictions usually involve a time range with statistical probabilities indicating the likelihood of an event occurring within that time frame. Predictions are based on scientific data and analysis, not on psychics. Fatalities greater than 100 is not a common element in all predictions and exact date, time and disaster size are often difficult to precisely determine in advance.

Answer:

1. B. scientific method
2. B. time range with statistical percentages
