heliocentric theory, the theory of evolution, relativity theory
A theory unites and explains a range of observations.
The rapid decay theory explains the decrease in the strength of the earth's magnetic field better then the dynamo theory. Although the dynamo theory explains the explains the reversals where the field pointed in the opposite directions better. The rapid decay theory allows for it, but only if there is an event of cataclysmic volcanic and geological activity. The rapid decay theory also explains the magnetic fields on the other planets correctly.
If by "why" you mean "what," a well tested framework that explains a wide range of observations in science is called a theory.
Theory
The theory of plate tectonics explains large scale motion of the earth's lithosphere.
it is a Theory! :)
The theory is Tectonics.
A theory unites and explains a range of observations.
That is Quantum Theory.
Opponent-processing theory
That is Quantum Theory.
dynamo theory
Contenintal Drift theory
opponent-process theory
The name of the theory that explains Brown's observation is the kinetic molecular theory of matter. This theory states that all matter is composed of particles (atoms or molecules) that are in constant motion, and explains the behavior of gases, including diffusion, pressure, and temperature.
compare and contrast Expectancy Theory and Equity Theory
the theory explains how Earth's plates form and move. it also explains how plates interact ,producing volcanoes,mountain range ,earthquakes,and featurs of the ocean floor
