What happens if a hypothesis does not explain an observation?
If a hypothesis does not explain an observation, it may be rejected as a valid explanation for that particular phenomenon. Scientists typically revise or discard hypotheses that fail to account for observed data in order to develop more accurate models and theories. This iterative process helps refine our understanding of the natural world.
Why was Wegener's hypothesis reject?
Alfred Wegener couldn't describe how the plate tectonics moved. So, scientists rejected his hypothesis.
When scientists rejected the continental drift were they using the scientific process?
Yes, scientists were using the scientific process when they rejected the continental drift theory. The process involves proposing a hypothesis, testing it through observations and experiments, and revising or rejecting it based on the evidence. In this case, scientists rejected the theory because they did not find enough supporting evidence at the time.
What it called when scientists state whether their data confirm or rejected the hypothesis?
Stating a conclusion.
What is it called when scientists state whether there data confirmed or rejected the hypothesis?
findings/conclusion
Can a hypothesis that has been rejected be of any value to scientists?
Yes. But usually a hypothesis (if, then, because statement) is changed overtime to establish a conclusion on the investigation. The point of the collection of the data is to show whether or not the hypothesis was supported, and if not needs to be corrected/modified. Certain parts may still be helpful/kept but in most cases it is changed
Is a hypothesis is a decision based on the results of the experiment.?
No. An hypothesis is an idea put forward to explain an observation. Often you do the experiment to test the hypothesis. The results of the experiment may help you decide whether to discard your hypothesis or to test it further.
Why scientists rejected wegener's hypothesis of continental drift?
Scientist rejected Wegners hypothesis of continental drift at first because he did not have enogh evidence to support his theory. He failed to provide a suitable mechanism that could cause the continents to move.
What is Rejected Hypothesis?
It is when you know that your hypothesis is wrong.
Why was Pangaeas hypothesis rejected?
because it obviously had no proof and the same results were not achieved when the experiment was repeated several times by different scientists.
Why was the Pangaea hypothesis rejected?
because it obviously had no proof and the same results were not achieved when the experiment was repeated several times by different scientists.
What causes a hypothesis to be rejected?
A hypothesis will be rejected if it fails the necessary testing required for it to become a scientific theory.
