Question

1. what is a scientific theory? provide two examples. 6. what is the difference in a scientific theory and a scientific law?

Explanation:

1. A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of natural phenomena, supported by evidence. Examples: Theory of Evolution (explains species diversity), Theory of Relativity (explains spacetime and gravity).
2. A scientific theory explains "why" phenomena occur; a scientific law describes "what" occurs (a consistent, observed pattern).

Answer:

1. A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of natural phenomena, supported by evidence. Examples include the Theory of Evolution and the Theory of Relativity.
2. The difference is that a scientific theory explains why phenomena occur, while a scientific law describes what happens (a consistent observed pattern).
