The theory of continental drift was given a scientific status during the?
1960
What decade was the Continental Drift Theory accepted by the scientific community because of the Plate Tectonics?
lol
How is the big bang theory is an example od scienctific theory?
Hello i am minakshi answer is that the big bang theory is an example of old scientific theory as big bang theory explains that there was an explosion but the isotropy and the homogenity of the universe is not explained by big bang theory to explain his we connect inflatation theory with big bang theory to explain it so the big bang theory is also an example of old scientific theory.
Why did most scientists originally reject the theory of continental drift?
Most scientists originally reject the theory of continental drift since it did clearly explain continents would move. This is a theory that has been established by Wegener and did not get good support initially.
Alfred wegener developed a theory known as continental drift explain the theory?
He looked up on his Pangaea map, and figured out about the continental drift at the part of Africa, Antarctica, and Europe.
Why fossils support the theory of continental movement?
explain how fossils support the theory of continental movement
Why is the continental drift theory a theory and not a scientific law?
The Continental Drift theory is a theory because there is no evidence to support it. Alfred Wegener developed the Continental Drift theory in the 1800's.
What does the theory of continental explain?
the movement of the continent i :-)
What ideas from the theory of plate tectonics add to the theory of continental drift?
earthquakes and volcanoes Do you know how to explain the theory of the continental drift?
What is a sentence using scientific theory?
The scientific theory of continental drift was not immediately accepted by geologists.
Is it true that a scientific law attempts to explain an observed pattern in nature?
Yes, that is indeed what a scientific theory does.
What is the scientific theory of creation?
The Big Bang theory is the current scientific theory used to explain the origin of the universe.
Why do you think it is a scientific theory instead of a law?
A scientific theory attempts to explain observations by construction a system of mechanisms by which the observations can be accurately predicted.A scientific law is simply a statement summarizing the results of observations without providing any attempt at explaining the observations.For example, Newtonian physics is a scientific theory that attempts to explain, amongst other things, the motion of objects when subjected to gravity.The law of gravity is merely a mathematical formula that describes the force of gravity felt between any two objects (with limitations if the objects are incredibly small - see quantum mechanics) but does not attempt to explain why the formula is what it is. Scientific laws simply summarize the empirical (observed) data available.
Can positive theories assist normative theories?
A positive theory is a theory that attempts to explain how the world is while a normative theory attempts to explain how the world should be. The theories are used together in different social science fields, including economics.
What does the theory of continental drift state explain?
the movement of the continent i :-)
What is seafloor spreading that ''helps'' the theory of continental drift?
How seafloor spreading helps to explain the theory of continental drift is that wegener couldn't explain why and waht force caused the continents to move and so seafloor spreading helps to explain the theory of continental drift because it shows the force that made the continents move and that was te only thing that wagener needed to prove his theory of continental drift............thanks
Theory affect Human Growth and Development?
No. Theory attempts to explain human growth and development, but it does not affect it.
