Question

multiple choice 1 point which of these is a characteristic shared by both a scientific law and a scientific theory? both are based on a tested hypothesis. both are permanent descriptions that cannot be changed. both can be expressed as mathematical relationships. both offer an explanation for phenomena.

Explanation:

A scientific law and a scientific theory are both based on a tested hypothesis. A scientific law is a description of an observed phenomenon, while a scientific theory is a well - supported explanation of natural phenomena. They are developed after repeated testing of hypotheses. Scientific descriptions are not always permanent as new evidence can emerge. Not all scientific theories can be expressed as mathematical relationships. Scientific laws describe, not always explain phenomena.

Answer:

Both are based on a tested hypothesis.
