what is your opinion of the balance of nature hypothesis

In my opinion it is great that they observe two possible outcomes either significant relationships between the measured variables or the opposite.

They utilize and make use of the scientific method in order to have clear basis and evidence for their investigations. Research method is always used to answer every scientific inquiry and in gaining evidential data or knowledge. The scientific method has the following process or at least undergoes the process of
1. Observation 
2. Hypothesis 
3. Experimentation 
4. Interpretation of data 
5. Evaluating the data 
6. Passing and recording the data 

These steps are crucial and the empirical data that these scientists obtain are very important to keep that is why research paper, thesis and dissertations exists.

I'll do it rn and then answer

When seismic waves hit a fault, the waves are reflected off the fault. seismograph can detect these reflected seismic waves. geologists then use these data to map the fault's length and depth
