2. How does temperature change in the troposphere? A. It increases with height.
B. It decreases with height.
C. It increases and then decreases with height.

Liquefaction was one reason the kobe wharfs were destroyed and other areas nearby. what is liquefaction? a. it is when conditions in the soil send the seismic wave out to the mountains and bounce back b. it is when conditions in the soil change to vigorous p-wave shaking when the surface waves pass by c. it referes to the fact that when an earthquake occurs wet and soft soil will vibrate more vigorously then solid rocky soil strangely in kobe some streets had very bad damage but the next street over had far less damage. what caused this? a. the waves passed through the city hit the mountains and returned back to the city. at some points the incoming and outgoing waves amplified their strength b. the mountains also had a quake and sent waves into the city c. waves hit the moutains and took longer to return

Experiments in environmental toxicology can sometimes be manipulative experiments in which the researcher actively chooses and manipulates the independent variable. in hunt's study, for example, dosages of bpa were manipulated and the effects were measured. in manipulative studies, the researcher controls all the other variables in the experiment, so any health effects observed in the test subjects can be attributed to differences in the independent variable. in other cases, researchers use natural experiments in which the dependent variable (typically a measure of organism health) is measured under differing contexts that are not manipulated. say, for example, that an accidental chemical spill contaminates five ponds. to determine the possible effects of the toxic chemical on frogs, a researcher could compare the hatching rate of frog eggs laid in those five ponds to the hatching rate of eggs laid in five uncontaminated ponds nearby. this would be an example of a natural experiment because concentrations of the toxic chemical in the ponds were not controlled by the experimenter, but rather resulted from the chemical spill. drag type of experiment on the left to the example of experiment on the right. blood concentrations of bpa in college students are compared to their recent manipulative consumption of canned food items 2. the feeding behavior of fish in streams that receive acidic runoff from strip mines is compared to the feeding behavior of fish in unaffected streams. the deformity rate in baby birds from nests in pesticide-sprayed fields is compared to the deformity rate in birds from nests in unsprayed fields 4 tumor development is compared in mice exposed to five dosages of a known carcinogen in the laboratory foraging activity levels are compared in tadpoles exposed to four concentrations of toxic metals in the laboratory. growth of corn plants is compared in field plots sprayed with three different dosage: s of weed killer 7 bpa concentrations in the urine of people with diabetes are compared to bpa concentrations in the urine of people without diabetes - natural; manipulative
