In surveys conducted by gerald, many adolescents report that they started smoking cigarettes because of peer pressure. while observing adolescent groups, however, gerald rarely sees adolescents offering each other cigarettes or putting pressure on others to smoke. gerald predicts that if he conducts further studies on this topic, he will be able to prove that peer pressure is not the primary reason that adolescents start smoking cigarettes. in the context of psychology’s scientific method, gerald is basing his further studies on

Gerald is basing his further studies on hypothesis.

Explanation:

What is a hypothesis?

Is an uncertain statement or non definite statement about a relationship that may exist between two variables or more variable which stand to be tested and be proven.

This statement defines what a researcher expect to be the outcome of a test to be made

For example, a study above to examine that they may be other factors contributing to smoking other that the assumed peer pressure .

the test will be expected to show those other factors after the research is done or not show them if they dont exist.

explanation:

literally the answer is aa. not kidding. aa is a group.

two jet streams that directly affect the formation of weather in the continental part are a polar jet and a subtropical jet. they are responsible for the transportation of weather systems, which directly affect people. the polar front is the boundary between cold air from the north pole and warmer equatorial air. both the polar jet and the subtropical jet blow from the west to the east, and follow the boundary between cold and warm air.

the strongest jet streams are polar jets, while subtropical jets are somewhat weaker.

the right answer is c. the polar jet stream is generaly stronger than the subtropical jet stream.
