Question

dr simeon and her team are studying global climate change. they develop a set of mathematical equations that relate climate data gathered over the past 100 years. then, with the aid of a computer, they use the equations to predict climate change in the future. the teams use of mathematical equations and computers is an example of which science process?
a. observation
b. gathering evidence
c. experimentation
d. modeling

Explanation:

Modeling involves creating mathematical or computational representations to predict phenomena. Here, Dr Simeon's team developed mathematical equations from past climate data and used them with a computer to predict future climate change, which is an example of modeling. Observation is simply noting data, gathering evidence is collecting relevant information, and experimentation involves testing variables under controlled conditions, none of which fully describe what the team did.

Answer:

D. modeling
