Question

Identify whether each of the statements is an Observation or a Hypothesis to explain an observation.

1) Golden toads laid their eggs in shallow pools of water between the roots of cloud forest trees.

2) Golden toad tadpoles lived in shallow pools of water on the cloud forest floor before developing into toadlets.

3) Over warm ocean water, clouds form higher in the atmosphere.

4) Golden toads had highly specialized reproductive habitat.

5) Golden toads were found only in the cloud forest of Monteverde, Costa Rica.

6) The fossil record and current trends show that highly specialized species with small populations and narrow ranges are highly susceptible to extinction.

7) Spring 1987 was the driest spring on record for Monteverde.

8) All the golden toad tadpoles might have died during the spring of 1987 because their pools dried up before the young could lead a fully terrestrial life.

9) The drier conditions at Monteverde in 1987 might have been caused by clouds forming higher in the atmosphere, a result of warmer ocean temperatures associated with human–caused global climate change.

10) The drier conditions at Monteverde in 1987 might have been caused by a natural El Nino climate cycles

11) The moisture cycle of Monteverde, seen in the oxygen isotope ratios taken from cores of two rainforest trees, is more tightly linked to El Nino cycles than to global climate change.

12) Chytrid fungi might have killed all the golden toads, causing the species’ extinction.

13)The new temperature conditions at Monteverde, with less extreme daytime and nighttime temperatures, promotes chytrid fungus growth.

14)El Nino events are cyclical weather patterns that affect temperature and rainfall along the Pacific coast of Central and South America
