Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 4E
Satellites and global climate change Satellites send back nearly continuous data on the earth’s land masses, oceans, and atmosphere from space. How might researchers use this information in both the short and long term to help study changes in the earth’s climate?

To what extent do data and information have an impact on one another?
Environmental conditions can affect the growth of coral. To study this, a researcher examined a species of coral that is found in
the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico. At 12 localities, he determined the average annual calcification rate of coral over a
period of several years and the average annual maximum sea surface temperature during the same period. Calcification rate
affects the growth of coral, with higher rates corresponding to greater growth. The table contains data for these 12 localities.

All of the children were healthy and breastfed by mothers who did not smoke. Children in the sample lived in socioeconomic conditions favorable to normal physical growth. Variables such as parental education level and income level were used to exclude children whose growth was “environmentally constrained”; however, low-weight full term babies were included if their mothers met socioeconomic and nutritional criteria. In short, the study design attempted to include healthy children from a wide range of ethnic and cultural groups whose home environments reasonably assured the conditions for healthy physical growth. This data was used to produce growth charts that are part of every pediatrician’s toolkit for monitoring a child’s overall…arrow_forward
