Question

which of the following questions can be answered by science?
should countries use solar power instead of wind energy?
how has the geology of an area affected its climate?
which compounds do people prefer to use in their fertilizer?
what energy source is more valued in larger cities?

Explanation:

Science can answer questions related to natural phenomena and relationships. The question "How has the geology of an area affected its climate?" involves the study of geological processes (geology is a part of Earth science, which is under Natural Science) and their impact on climate (a meteorological aspect also related to Natural Science). Geology (rock types, landforms, etc.) can influence climate through factors like albedo (reflectivity of surfaces, e.g., snow - covered mountains vs. dark soil), water retention (permeability of rocks affecting groundwater and evaporation), and volcanic activity (releasing gases and particles that can affect the atmosphere).
