Question

A prediction of the theory of plate tectonics is that new volcanoes can form at the boundary of two plates as magma seeps between them. To test this hypothesis a scientist makes a map of existing volcanoes along a tectonic plate and measures the number of new volcanoes that appear over a decade.
What would be the expected result of the experiment?

How could you interpret the results if the scientist observes no new volcanic activity?

Hey, are you in sroa online?

Answer 2

Answer:

The results would be slightly different

Explanation:

The passage of time is likely to change the landscape. In addition, the volcanic plat movement is unpredictable, as do the volcanoes. Thus, the volcanic activity cannot be predicted with such accuracy with this method. As a result, there would be a deviance in the results.
