Answer to Question 1

ANS: F
Science is the process of asking questions by gathering information and studying information, but it
also has a very distinguishing characteristic, the interpretation of raw data. Information can be found in
the section Marine Scientists Use the Logic of Science to Study the Ocean.



Answer to Question 2

ANS: T
Studying life from extreme environments is tricky because if you change their environment they often
change what they were doing. Studying life in the lab often tells you one thing while in reality the little
buggers may be doing something quite different in their home environments. Information can be
found in the Insight from National Geographic Explorer section.
