Describe how natural sciences can be used to explain and/or predict natural phenomena
Answers
It is virtually impossible to forecast timing , size and location of natural disasters. However now scientists use fractals to predict landsliding , wildfires , volcanic eruptions , hurricanes and floods.
Fractals : A pattern repeats itself over a wide range of time and size scales, a mathematical formula called fractal is used to determine that.
These patterns are found in complex system. River is a good example. Larger branching system is formed when small tributaries are joined.
Natural sciences or the science which is related to natural physical things are used to explain a lot of phenomenon. For as an example, we are considering the examples of earthquake. Earthquake occurs due to a major fault line which is developed in the techtonic plates and when these plates slide one over other earthquake occurs. Similarly, cyclone Occours when there is a huge pressure difference which is created due to differences in Temperature.
