How are scientists able to determine the type of radioactive isotope responsible for radioactivity?
They can measure the half-life. They can also observe the chemical traits of the atom, which is a function of the number of electrons.
Scientists have not been able to eliminate the threat of future pandemics?
True, scientists have not been able to eliminate the threat of future pandemics.
Why scientists describe their research in full when they communicate with other scientists?
B. Other scientists need to be able to repeat a scientist's experiments.
How did scientists able to draw conclusions about how long El Nino has been affecting the weather?
they just do it cause they are scientists
Why do scientists share and compare data?
Because based on the data scientists will be able to know if their hypothesis is correct or not.
Scientists are able to accurately determine the atmospheric composition from thousands to hundreds of thousands of years ago by what means?
analysing cores of ice and rock formations
What is the advantage of knowing a DNA sequence?
Scientists are able to study specific genes.
By testing soil composition in various location scientists are able to determine the age of the earths?
crust
Scientists have been able to determine the composition of earths layer by what?
making inferences based on data from seismic waves.
Scientists have been able to determine the composition of Earth's layers by doing what?
making inferences based on data from seismic waves.
How have scientist been able determine the composition of earths layers?
Scientists have been able to determine the composition of earth's layers using various ways. In most cases, samples have been taken and studied so as to determine the layers of the earth.
What is the name of the dinosaur that smelled like a chicken?
I don't think scientists have been able to determine how dinosaurs smelled, though I'm sure a lot of them were stinky.
How can you prove that this earth has been around for millions of years?
Scientists have been studying and because of the big bang they were able to determine how long earth has been around. Also, ever heard of dinosaurs? When they found fossils they were able to look at the imprint they made and yeah...Actually, most scientists agree that the Earth has been around for about 4.5 billion years. They know this because of the fossil and geological records, but primarily because they have been able to analyze radioactive decay in comparision with the expected half-life of the various radioactive isotopes that exist today.
How can satellite images help scientists protect endangered animals?
Scientists can use satellite images to asses the conservation status of the endangered animals. They are then able to use the results to find which species are threatened and determine the priority for future protection.
Which layers have scientists been able to explore?
which layers of the earth have scientists been able to explore
