Summary Introduction
To review:
The features that characterize the questions, which can be answered with a comparative approach rather than by controlled experiment questions.
Introduction:
The comparative approach involves comparison between data collected from various sources are compared and studied. The controlled experiment takes into consideration few conditions, for example, temperature, pH (potential of hydrogen ion), and salt concentrations, and study about the outcomes on particular experiment of those conditions is carried out.
