Which type of basic scientist is most likely to be employed in industry
Which type of engineer would you expect to be involved in preventing or cleaning up pollution
An environmental engineer would be the type of engineer to be
involved in preventing pollution.
Most new scientific knowledge is gained in what type of publicly funded institutions
Which type of scientist studies natural hazards such as volcanoes and earthquakes
A geologist studies natural hazards such as volcanoes and
earthquakes.
What industries often employ geologists
Geologists are often employed in oil and gas industries.
Which type of engineer would most likely be involved in developing a new soft drink
Which type of engineer would you expect to be involved in food processing
What kind of scientist does work involving water and its geochemical cycling
Which type of engineer develops products such as fertilizers pesticides cosmetics and synthetic materials like plastics and nylon

What is the primary purpose of basic science
Science is a systematic approach to acquiring knowledge through
carefully documented investigation and experimentation.
It's purpose is to enable us to understand the universe in which
we live.
It is not necessary to date each entry in your data log
That's a statement, not a question. Either switch the first two
words around or replace the question mark with a period.
You should date everything in any log to ensure that events are
properly placed in sequential order when being referenced.
Which term is defined as scientists comparing their results with others and checking for accuracy
What validates the conclusion of a process
repeating it many times and getting the same results.
Why must the researching scientists provide accurate reports and steps for others to read and follow
So others can repeat the experiment and make observations
Who must eventually be tested to research science that affects the well being of humans
You may use the information in your conclusion to write a revised hypothesis
Yes, you may use the information in your conclusion to write a
revised hypothesis.
Is The title of a graph describes the data being graphed
The title of a graph should be an indication of the information
that the graph is meant to convey. It may not be a direct
description of the data but it should certainly be relevant to the
data being used.
For example, a graph showing number of residents against years
might have a title of "Growth in the town". The title refers not to
the data but to the information the graph is showing.
What type of combustion fuels produces the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide
All carbon based fuels produce carbon dioxide when burned. These include:
- fossil fuels (coal. oil, natural gas)
- alcohols
- bio-fuels (wood, charcoal, waste burning including cremation)
- specialty industrial fuels (acetylene etc.)
- carbon monoxide
Coal and petroleum are the two primary fossil fuels. Oxidizing methane also releases CO2, but that is 25 times better than releasing methane, itself an even more potent greenhouse gas.
Is it true that sometimes in science ideas are disputed for various reasons
When Charles Darwin published his theory of evolution it was accepted by all of society.
Which term means to conform to professional standards of conduct
