Scientists believe that the far side of the moon has more impact craters and older geological features because it is shielded from the Earth's gravitational influence, which causes tidal locking. This lack of tectonic activity has preserved the ancient lunar surface features, providing a window into the moon's early history.
Scientists believe that stars form from clouds of gas and dust in space, called nebulae. When these clouds become dense enough, gravity causes them to collapse and form a protostar. As the protostar gathers more material, its temperature and pressure increase until nuclear fusion ignites, turning it into a full-fledged star.
Scientists thing that tornadoes usually dissipated when rain-cooled air chokes off the updraft of the tornado's parent storm, which is fueled by warm air. The cold air causes the updraft to weaken.
The details are a bit complicated, and scientists are still trying to find part of the answer. But what you need to know, for most practical purposes, is that the gravitational force is related to masses. Masses attract one another. (According to the General Theory of Relativity, masses will distort space; this space distortion causes the attractive force on other masses. Scientists also believe that the force of gravity is transmitted through a hypothetical particle called a "graviton"; so far, they didn't manage to detect one, and it is expected to be very difficult to detect.)
Scientists say Uranus is tipped over because its axis of rotation is tilted at an angle of about 98 degrees. This extreme tilt causes Uranus to essentially roll on its side as it orbits the Sun, giving it the appearance of "rolling" through space. The reason for this abnormal tilt is still not completely understood.
scientists believe that the volcano and earthquakes activity in this area are due to the formation of new part of the Earth's crust along the ridge

The tilt of the earth causes seasons and some scientists believe that it may be part of long-term climate change.
Scientists believe that plates are moved by the process of mantle convection, where heat from the Earth's core causes the mantle to circulate and create movement in the tectonic plates above. The plates can slide past each other, collide, or move apart due to the forces generated by this convection in the mantle.
The overwhelming consensus among climate scientists is that global warming is real and primarily caused by human activities. While there may be a small minority of scientists who question the extent or causes of global warming, the consensus and evidence supporting the reality of climate change are robust.

Scientists use the severity of damage that a tornado causes to estimate wind speed.

The exact causes of increased sex drive (or 'libido') are still somewhat unknown. However, many scientists believe it is caused by hormone imbalances or by conditions that cause severe mood swings. There are no known drugs that safely increase libido for either gender.
