В наши дни прогресс знаний о Земле, особенно об околоземном пространстве, очень велик. Темп исследований в области физики атмосферы, физики моря и физики твердой Земли непрерывно возрастает. Этот все ускоряющийся прогресс наук о Земле тесно связан с важными практическими запросами.
In the example above, an observation is made and a hypothesis formulated. A hypothesis is an educated guess. Experiments are performed to prove or disprove your hypothesis. This sort of deductive reasoning is the same thought process used by detectives to solve crimes. You may consider the mineral identification experiments as simple, but there is no written rule that experiments must be complicated. If an experiment is repeated time and time again and the conclusions are exactly the same, then the conclusion is elevated to a theory. Scientists define theory as a proven conclusion, something over which there is very little doubt. Notice that the way scientists use the word theory is much different from our everyday use. In our everyday usage, theory is equivalent to a scientist’s hypothesis—an estimation or guess. Sherlock Holmes’ theory of the murder was Colonel Mustard with the candlestick. This is Holmes’ guess or hypothesis of the crime; now he must gather evidence to prove it. <...>
The 12th edition of Essentials of Geology, like its predecessors, is a college-level text for students taking their first and perhaps only course in geology. The text is intended to be a meaningful, nontechnical survey for people with little background in science. Usually students are taking this class to meet a portion of their college’s or university’s general requirements. In addition to being informative and up-to-date, a major goal of Essentials of Geology is to meet the need of beginning students for a readable and user-friendly text; a text that is a highly usable tool for learning the basic principles and concepts of geology <...>
Wiley Visualizing is based on decades of research on the use of visuals in learning (Mayer, 2005).1 The visuals teach key concepts and are pedagogically designed to explain, present, and organize new information. The figures are tightly integrated with accompanying text; the visuals are conceived with the text in ways that clarify and reinforce major concepts while allowing students to understand the details.
