In terms of the scientific method, the purpose of an experiment is: test a hypothesis, develop data, form a hypothesis, form a conclusion

Test a hypothesis

Explanation:

An experiment is done to test a hypothesis. An experiment can either prove or disprove a hypothesis. The experiment should be designed in a way that it can be repeated for validity to ensure that the results that come out of it holds true each time.

A hypothesis is made before the experiment is done. Developing data is done through interpretation of the results of an experiment. A conclusion is formed through analysis of the data obtained from an experiment.

weathering is the answer.

d concave shape of wave rock

explanation:

the concave shape of wave rock is a very good evidence that supports the evolution of earth due to chemical weathering. if we talk about structure of   wave rock, studies have estimated that it is around 2.7 billion years old. it also serves as the foundation of evidence that it was the place where australian continent began to form.

how the structure of wave rock was created?

studies suggest that structure of wave rock was created when the surrounded area was started to weather due to which deposition of material started on the part of land which now contains wave rock.

the structure of wave rock is considered to be one of the best-known landforms in australia. at the height of around 15 cm, there can be found flared slopes which formulate the margins of hyden rock. it is now assumed by geologists that wave rock was created by subsurface water-induced weathering and not by glaciers, waves or wind.

due to deposition of material over the period of long time, the wave rock became tougher and tougher due to weathering from surrounding terrain. this makes it a physical evidence that supports   the evolution of earth due to chemical weathering.

hope it !
