How did your experiment prove or disprove the hypothesis?
That depends on the result of the experiment. The experiment is a way to test a hypothesis, and it's completely fine if the experiment disproves the hypothesis. Ideally, though, the experiment will support the hypothesis.
What is impossible to do with a hypothesis?
It is impossible to prove a hypothesis. It can only be disproved.
If a hypothesis is proven wrong why is it still important?
Generally, creating a hypothesis is a no-win situation. The hypothesis you devise must be provable false. Your data will either prove your hypothesis false or it will fail to prove the hypothesis false. You can never prove a proper hypothesis true. Science does not prove truth, it simply discards the false.
Is a scientific hypothesis accepted if there is no way way to prove that the hypothesis is wrong?
No. Not being able to prove something is NOT the same as it being true.
How is a hypothesis is tested?
conducting experiment
Why was Alfres Wegener's hypothesis rejected?
Alfred Wegener's theory was rejected because he could not prove how the continents actually moved. He showed evidence of fossils from Africa and South America, but still coul not prove the convection surrents going on underground. Other geologists did not believe in his theory just because he was a meteorologist, not a geologist like themselves.
Why did scientists reject Wagner's hypothesis?
He could not prove how they moved he died before they considered his hypothesis

Why did many scientists reject Wagner's hypothesis?
He could not prove how they moved he died before they considered his hypothesis
How did Alfred Wegener prove that pangaea existed?
truth is he couldn't prove it he tryed to show the scientists that the continents could have drifted but the scientists did NOT believe him
What are two possible outcomes to prove an experiments hypothesis?
To prove the hypothesis. To disprove the hypothesis.
Do the sinking of mid-ocean ridges into the ocean trenches prove the Continental Drift theory?
The discovery of the mid-ocean ridge confirmed Alfred Wegener's hypothesis that the continents were moving,
Explain Harry Hess contribution to Plate Tectonic Theory?
Harry Hess developed the idea of sea floor spreading. Which help better prove Alfred Wegener's Continental Drift Hypothesis.
How did the study of paleomagnetism help prove wegener's hypothesis?
Before discovering that rocks are imprinted with the direction of magnetic orientation that exists at the time of their creation, no proof existed to confirm Wegener's hypothesis. When rocks were examined from both sides of the Mid-Ocean Ridge, the magnetic orientations were found to be mirror images of each other, indicating that the seafloor was spreading outward, and therefore pushing the continents apart.
What can experiments prove?
An experiment can prove or disprove a hypothesis.
What were the four types of evidence Wegener showed to prove his theory?
?
What is impossible to do with a hypothesis?
It is impossible to prove a hypothesis. It can only be disproved.
