Science - ANSWER-The knowledge or study of the natural world based on facts theorized based on
experiments and observations.



Multiple working hypotheses

because there are multiple ways to interoperate scientific method and this can create multiple working

Kentland Structure - when and what was its origin - ANSWER-An impact structure with the presence of
shatter cones and deformed bedrock that was determined to have been caused from an impact rather
than volcanic activity. It was formed less than 97 million years ago in Newton County, Indiana. The
impact area is about 7.24 km in diameter



What evidence proves the kentland structure was not the event of a cryptovolcanic event? - ANSWER-
Shatter cones and deformed bedrock concluded that the structure was caused by a meteor impact. The
formation of shatter cones is not present in a volcanic event because of the upward pressure as apposed
to the downward pressure from an impact.
