How did scientists of Hellenistic times differ from scientists of Columbus's time in their thinking about earth?
Scientists of Hellenistic times believed the Earth was the center of the universe and that celestial bodies moved around it in perfect circular motion. In Columbus's time, scientists began to challenge this geocentric view, with Copernicus proposing a heliocentric model where the Earth orbits the Sun. This shift in thinking laid the foundation for the scientific revolution that followed.
Is the following sentence true or false it is very difficult for scientists to learn about earths past environments by studying fossils?
False. Scientists can learn a lot about Earth's past environments by studying fossils. Fossils provide valuable information about past climates, ecosystems, and the evolution of life on Earth. By studying fossils, scientists can reconstruct past environments and gain insights into how they have changed over time.
What caused scientists in the 1700s to reason that Earth changes slowly with time?
uniformitarianism
What caused scientists in 1700s to reason that earth change slowly with time?
uniformitarianism
Did scientists create the Earth?
No, but some scientists do study how the earth, the solar system and the universe came to be based on observations of the universe today and in the past and our understanding of the "laws of physics."
Why did other scientists question the theory of plate tectonics?
Other scientists questioned the theory of plate tectonics initially because there was no known mechanism to explain how continents could move. Additionally, some were skeptical of the idea because it challenged the prevailing belief at the time that the Earth's surface was static and immovable.
Explain why scientists might use models to represent earth's processes?
Scientists use models to represent Earth's processes because they provide a simplified way to understand complex systems, make predictions, and test hypotheses. Models allow scientists to study processes that are difficult to observe directly and to explore potential outcomes of different scenarios without conducting costly or time-consuming experiments in the real world.
How do scientists know Earth's plates float?
Earth plates do not float. They move over time due to a variety of environmental factors
When is earth going to end?
Most scientists say in about 13500. So I think that you have some time
What did Galileo's observations lead scientists to conclude?
That Earth is not at the center of the universe - - radical thinking for his time.
What term do space scientists use to describe the earth spinning one time on it's axis?
The term is called 'Rotation', or more commonly used, Earth's Rotation. :)
What calendar did scientists use to outline history of life on earth?
Scientists use the geologic time scale to outline the history of life on Earth. This scale divides Earth's history into different time intervals based on major geological and biological events. It includes periods, epochs, and ages that help scientists understand the timing and sequencing of events in the history of life on our planet.
