ILL GIVE BRAINLISTS!!!!!!

After analyzing rock core samples in an area with frequent earthquakes, many geologists believe a severe earthquake will occur in the area in the next 50 to 80 years. Other geologists, however, believe that such a prediction cannot be determined from the data collected.

If these two groups of scientists have access to the same data, how can they form such different hypotheses? (2 points)

Geologists have different specialties that can sometimes cause them to look at data differently.

Geologists manipulate data to fit their hypotheses, which results in different conclusions.

Scientific predictions must list every possible outcome to make sure that they are never incorrect.

Scientific hypotheses need to be proven many times, so predictions of earthquakes are probably incorrect.

Respuesta :

I think A would be the correct answer to this question.

Answer:

Geologists have different specialties that can sometimes cause them to look at data differently.

Explanation:

The geologists shown in the question above are scientists, and, like all good scientists, are analyzing data to answer a natural phenomenon, which in this case is the occurrence of earthquakes in a given area.

However, science is often not accurate, as it is liable to several different thoughts and conclusions. In the case of the question above, this can be seen at the moment when, through the analysis of the same data, two groups of scientists had different conclusions about the occurrence of earthquakes. This is because each group of scientists has their own specialty and each specialty has a different way of evaluating data.
