what is a model?

I know we just going to break down the word soup

Scientific terminology is not the same as colloquial speach

What is a Model definition please

A model is an explaination which describes why we see the phenomena we do

It needs predictive power

And has to agree with all evidence presented OR be the most comprehensive model avaliable

@Sassy Undeniably satisfactory?

Use the scientific definition, please

Not the first one you find in a dictionary

I asked you what the word model meant. I did not say scientific model and neither did you so go figure

A scientific model is a physical and/or mathematical and/or conceptual representation of a system of ideas, events or processes. Scientists seek to identify and understand patterns in our world by drawing on their scientific knowledge to offer explanations that enable the patterns to be predicted.

You knew exactly what I ment

No be clear when you speak young man

There we go

That is the definition

Now

You believe it is electrical discharges, no?

So read it carefully it is a conceptual representation of a system of ideas, events or processes. So they don't know they just offer explanations

What evidence do you have for this model?

A discharge model

The same evidence your model presents. The difference in mine is that it is testable because we know how a battery works. There is proof of that. So it doesn't remain in the theory state. It can be fact and is testable and repeatable on a small scale model unlike yours.

So why do discharges tend to most where land and ocean meets or where land buckles?

@Sassy Undeniably ?

let me get you that model pic so while I am explaining my understanding of it you have a visual of it.

Why is volcanism almost exclusively appear near oceans?

Why are rocks in some places of Brazil nearly identical to those in western Africa?

@Sassy Undeniably

yes sassy why are rocks on earth similar to each other?

explain that !!

@Sassy Undeniably so why is volcanism almost exclusively associate with near-ocean areas?

Under this model?

Under plate techtonics, volcanology and seismology are directly related

So under this model?

give me a second to finish pulling the information for you before asking questions they may answer your questions

Does he answer that question?

I'll be back in a few, then
