Show them a good dictionary. The scientific meaning is usually the primary meaning given in good dictionaries for the word theory.
Theory is the highest concept in science as it is a explanatory frame work supported by much evidence and tested hypothesis for a phenomenon observed in nature. ( a fact/law ) You can generate testable hypothesis from theories. Theory encompasses law and fact and explains much of law and fact. A theory is falsifiable.

What are plate tectonics and what does it have to do with the earths shape?
Plate tectonics are what each continent is on. They move and are continuing to move today. It has to do with the earth's shape because the plate tectonics move the continents around.
How are tectonic plate movements similar?
"Plate tectonics" is a fancy word for "Continental Drift". In both theories the continents move.
What is a scientific revolution how is plate tectonics an explample of a scientific revolution?
Scientific revolution was applied first on physics, Newton's and Enistian's and Quantum theories ,So plate tectonics basically changed our view on earth mechanism that it made a revolution in Geo science.
Why is plate tectonics a suitable name for the study of plate motion. Explain?
It is a suitable name because tectonics comes from the Greek word tekton which means builder, and plate tectonics refers to the building of the features on Earth's surface due to deformation caused by plate movements...
Why was the idea of plate tectonics difficult for many scientists to accept for many years after it was first introduced?
The idea of plate tectonics faced skepticism because it challenged the prevailing beliefs of stationary continents and was initially unsupported by a clear mechanism for how tectonic plates could move. Additionally, the scientific community at the time lacked sufficient evidence, such as the understanding of seafloor spreading and the role of mantle convection. Many scientists were also resistant to change and preferred to maintain established theories. It wasn't until more evidence accumulated in the mid-20th century that plate tectonics gained widespread acceptance.
Why do you think wegener was unable to prove the theories of continental drift and plate tectonics before his death in 1930?
i think he was unable to prove his statements because he has never seen this happen
Why do you think that Wegener was unable to prove the theories of continental drift and plate tectonics before his death in 1930?
Wegener was unable to prove the theories of continental drift and plate tectonics before his death because he lacked a mechanism that could explain how continents could move. Additionally, his ideas were met with skepticism and opposition from the scientific community at the time, which hindered further research and experimentation on the topic.
What was the main counterargument against wegners evidence?
1 counterarguement.... there was no drift because all is just as it was created. This theory works under the premise of creationism which disregards all evidence of Evolution OR If you are asking for argument were used against the theory of continental drift; it was rejected because there was no mechanism known that could cause continents to drift. It was revived when the theory of plate tectonics provided this mechanism.
Why do we draw scientifically?
Because its simple and fast
How many universes are scientifically proven to exist?
As of now, only our own universe, known as the observable universe, has been scientifically proven to exist. The concept of multiple universes, such as in multiverse theories, is still speculative and not yet experimentally validated.
Why did the catholic church denounce the theories of the scientific revolution?
The Catholic Church denounced the theories of the Scientific Revolution because they challenged the Church's teachings on the natural world, which were based on a literal interpretation of the Bible. The Church saw these new scientific ideas as a threat to its authority and a potential source of heresy.
What are plate tectonics and what does it have to do with the earths shape?
Plate tectonics are what each continent is on. They move and are continuing to move today. It has to do with the earth's shape because the plate tectonics move the continents around.
Do the plate tectonics move?
they move because of the magma
How plate tectonics can CAUSE volcanoes?
because of these buts
Why does plate tectonics take place?
because of the plates moving
How was Tibetan plateau formed?
Because of convergent (plate tectonics).
What are the tectonics on uranus like?
There are not any because it is a gas giant...
