How would you use theory in a sentence?

I would use the word "theory" in a sentence like this: "The scientist presented a new theory to explain the findings of the experiment."


What theory did Alfred wegner introduce?

Alfred Wegener introduced the theory of continental drift, which proposed that Earth's continents were once joined together as a single supercontinent called Pangea and have since moved to their current positions. This theory laid the foundation for the development of the modern theory of plate tectonics.


What did the theory of plate tectonics replace?

The theory of plate tectonics replaced the older theory of continental drift. It provided a more comprehensive explanation for the movement of Earth's lithospheric plates and the processes that shape our planet's surface.


Did Alfred Wegner provide evidence from land forms and climate in support of his theory of the shrinking Earth?

Alfred Wegener proposed the theory of continental drift, not a shrinking Earth theory. He used evidence such as the fit of the continents, matching rock formations, and fossil distribution to support his idea that the continents had once been part of a single landmass called Pangaea. Wegener's theory eventually led to the development of the theory of plate tectonics.


What is the theory called for the continents joined together?

The theory is called plate tectonics, which explains how the Earth's lithosphere is divided into large plates that move and interact with each other, leading to phenomena such as continental drift and the formation of mountains and ocean basins.

What did Tycho Brahe have right about his theory?

Tycho Brahe's theory improved on the Ptolemaic theory of the planets by explaining the phases of Venus, which the Ptolemaic theory failed to do. Tycho's theory still had the Earth at the centre. Later all the old theories of Ptolemy, Copernicus and Tycho were replaced by Kepler's elliptical orbits in 1609.

Ptolemaic theory of the universe was disaproved by?

The Ptolemaic theory explained the way the planets moved among the stars. Other theories were produced between 1500 and 1700. After the discovery of the law of gravity and the laws of motion were discovered, the planetary theory devised by Johannes Kepler (1609) was found to fit the new theories most closely and it was adopted generally. It is still used.
