The continental drift hypothesis was rejected because?
Everyone back then didn't think that there could possible be a natural disaster that could move entire continents. Today, it is called sea floor spreading.
A possible explanation that may be tested by experimentation?
A Scientific Theory.
How are assumption and hypothesis formulated?
When observing data and facts that do not have, or conflict with scientific theory, one looks at, and assumes all of the possible reasons for this data, tests it again and again, once one is happy that they have found the most reasonable explanation, it becomes an hypothesis. After this the work is published into the scientific community, where it is scrutinized by other scientists in your field of research, in which they attempt to disprove your hypothesis. If none can disprove it then it eventually becomes accepted in the scientific community. This is when it becomes scientific theory.
What are the three possible combinations of plate collisions at convergent boundaries?
The three possible combinations would be continental-continental, continental-oceanic, and oceanic-oceanic.
Is it possible to prove a hypothesis by conducting rigorously controlled experiments?
Not technically, you can disprove it. And you can narrow the probability of the null hypothesis but proof by experimentation alone is not possible.
What do scientists call a possible answer to the original answer?
In mathematics: conjecture. In other science: hypothesis.
How do scientists make predictions?
Scientists make predictions with a hypothesis. Using their observations, models, and other scientists' work, they create a statement of a possible outcome called a hypothesis. Then scientists design tests to check whether their prediction was true.
What does the method mean?
The scientific method refers to an accepted methodology used by scientists worldwide by which they can find out, as accurately as possible, how the physical world works. It includes but is not limited to experimental design, hypothesis testing, data gathering, and data analysis.

The Big Bang Hypothesis explains the possible origin of the what?
The Big Bang hypothesis is one of the theories that try to explain the origin of the creation of the universe. It's the current most accepted theory by scientists and astronomers. It asserts the universe and all the planets and systems it contains were formed after an immense explosion of matter and energy out of an original point.
What does it mean to draw a conclusion?
Scientists decide whether their data supports or refutes their hypothesis or prediction; they look for possible errors...
A possible explanation or answer to a question is a?
A hypothesis
How is it possible for a hypothesis to be accurate if there's no data to support it?
It's not. Next Answer: It is possible for a properly formulated hypothesis to be accurate even if there is no data yet to support it. A hypothesis is a conjectures or best guess to describe a situation of phenomenon based on available information. Until enough proof is available, the hypothesis may be either incorrect or it may be correct or accurate Once sufficient data is accumulated testingt the hypothesis, the hypothesis is either rejected or accepted.
What is a possible explanation?
Hypothesis
How do scientists use the word theory?
Theories are based on observations and testing. They are widely held to be accurate and form the basis for scientific principles. Theories are upheld by mounting and corroborative evidence. In contrast, a hypothesis is a possible explanation based upon initial observations and an understanding of supporting facts. As observations and tests further support a hypothesis, it becomes accepted within the scientific community and begins to form a theory..
Is theory a fact?
well, a theory is a general idea about something,so i do not think so.*A theory is a hypothesis well accepted by the scientific community. So I wouldn't think it was a fact considering a hypothesis is an educated guess.
