Question

An explanation of a natural phenomenon supported by many observations and experiments over time

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation of a natural phenomenon, supported by many observations and experiments over time, corresponds to a scientific theory.

Explanation:

A scientific theory begins with the observation of a natural phenomenon and the formulation of a hypothesis that explains its existence, which must be proven through observation and experimentation.

The approach of a theory follows the scientific laws and must be established on the basis of rigorous experimentation and measurement, establishing a relationship between what is observed and what can be proven, in such a way that a theoretical principle is elaborated to provide an explanation of the phenomenon.

A theory is subject to the scrutiny of the scientific community and can be refuted, when other data or experiments appear to oppose it. When the argument of a theory cannot be refuted, and is universally accepted, it becomes a scientific law.
