What 2 factors led to the discontinuance of the theory of the continental drift?
Two main factors that led to the discontinuance of the theory of continental drift were the lack of a plausible mechanism to explain how continents could move and the rejection of continental drift by the majority of the scientific community at the time. Additionally, the theory faced significant opposition from influential geologists who favored alternative explanations for the geologic features observed.
The theory of continental drift was given a scientific status during the?
Theory of continental drift was given scientific status during the early 20th century, particularly in the 1960s with the development of the theory of plate tectonics. This theory provided a comprehensive explanation for the movement of Earth's continents over time.
Why did people believe Harry Hess and not believe Alfred Wegener?
Harry Hess proposed the theory of seafloor spreading, which provided physical evidence for the movement of the Earth's crust. Alfred Wegener proposed the theory of continental drift, which lacked a mechanism to explain how continents moved. Hess's theory had more scientific support and evidence, leading to greater acceptance by the scientific community.
What decade was the Continental Drift Theory accepted by the scientific community because of the Plate Tectonics?
lol
How is the big bang theory is an example od scienctific theory?
Hello i am minakshi answer is that the big bang theory is an example of old scientific theory as big bang theory explains that there was an explosion but the isotropy and the homogenity of the universe is not explained by big bang theory to explain his we connect inflatation theory with big bang theory to explain it so the big bang theory is also an example of old scientific theory.
What does the theory of continental explain?
the movement of the continent i :-)
Why is the continental drift theory a theory and not a scientific law?
The Continental Drift theory is a theory because there is no evidence to support it. Alfred Wegener developed the Continental Drift theory in the 1800's.
What is a sentence using scientific theory?
The scientific theory of continental drift was not immediately accepted by geologists.
Is it true that a scientific law attempts to explain an observed pattern in nature?
Yes, that is indeed what a scientific theory does.
Can positive theories assist normative theories?
A positive theory is a theory that attempts to explain how the world is while a normative theory attempts to explain how the world should be. The theories are used together in different social science fields, including economics.
Why do you think it is a scientific theory instead of a law?
A scientific theory attempts to explain observations by construction a system of mechanisms by which the observations can be accurately predicted.A scientific law is simply a statement summarizing the results of observations without providing any attempt at explaining the observations.For example, Newtonian physics is a scientific theory that attempts to explain, amongst other things, the motion of objects when subjected to gravity.The law of gravity is merely a mathematical formula that describes the force of gravity felt between any two objects (with limitations if the objects are incredibly small - see quantum mechanics) but does not attempt to explain why the formula is what it is. Scientific laws simply summarize the empirical (observed) data available.
What does the theory of continental drift state explain?
the movement of the continent i :-)
Theory affect Human Growth and Development?
No. Theory attempts to explain human growth and development, but it does not affect it.
What does the Ladder Theory attempt to explain?
The Ladder Theory attempts to explain the frustrating mystery of why women sleep with certain men. The theory is a type of sexual evaluation for both sexes.
Is there another theory that may explain the positions of the continent today?
yes! it is the continental drift theory.
How is a theory diffrent from a law?
A law is a description of a naturally occurring phenomenon, whereas a theory attempts to explain a law.
What is a set of tested hypotheses that attempts to explain why something happens?
The name in science is theory.
