Which sentence is a scientific statement? a. food cooked in ceramic pots has a better aroma than food cooked in copper pots. b. a tall glass of water tastes better with a lemon wedge and ice cubes. c. today, there are more viewers watching baseball than ice hockey on television. d. there is life on some other planet in the universe aside from earth.

Solution: Sentence D is a scientific statement.

Scientific statement is a statement that defines the science behind any situation. There should be any experimental result or observation to state any scientific statement. Also, the statement should be accepted by considering other scientific aspects.

Here, statement A can not be a scientific statement as different aromas of cooked food are liked by different people. Any one can find aroma of cooked food in copper better than the ceramic pot.

Thus, the statement can be proved wrong easily.

Statement B can not be a scientific statement as people can find the taste of normal water (without ice cubes) better than the ice cold water.

Statement C is not a scientific statement as there is no science behind watching baseball or ice hockey, it depends on the liking of today's people.

Statement D is a scientific statement because this can be scientifically proved.

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.
