Sabrina and chris are researching underwater mountains called seamounts. sabrina says that they are formed by divergent plates, because they occur near mid-ocean ridges. chris says they are formed by meteors that have crashed into the ocean, because he saw it in an action movie. who has the better scientific claim? a) sabrina, because her claim is based on research and logic. b) sabrina, because she doesn't watch movies. c) chris, because he has considered all the possible explanations. d) chris, because there is no data to prove him wrong.

The correct answer is A. Sabrina, because her claim is based on research and logic.

Explanation

A scientific claim is a way of proving a phenomenon (in this case a natural phenomenon) in which results of scientific tests are used in order to give reliability to the proposed answers, for this reason, Sabrina's statement that says that Seamounts are the result of a divergent plaque process is a scientific claim because it has been proven, while Chris's claim based on what he saw in a movie is not considered a scientific claim because he has no proof. So, the correct answer is A. Sabrina, because her claim is based on research and logic.
