Do research about new hypothesis that has replaced an older explanation of something in the natural world
Gre4nikov [31]
I believe that what is meant with the phrase "older explanation" is none other that superstition. Therefore, I will give you one superstitious belief which is now explained by science.

In Southeast Asia, people used to believe that St. Elmo's fire appears in remote areas because a bloody battle occured in that place leaving disembodied souls of the dead wandering there in the night and even in sunshine!

For generations, many people believed that this is a fact and some even say that these apparitions are diabolical or demonic in nature. So often, caution is advised to people whenever a ball of fire appears out in the open. 

However, recent breakthroughs in the 21st century helped scientists to explain this mysterious phenomena. They found out that St. Elmo's fire is actually plasma, nothing special. Now, plasma is considered one of the states of matter! But mind you, it still does not explain why St. Elmo's fire seems to have a mind of its own!

Beginning with the flow phase arrange biochemical process in order menstrual cycle
Serga [27]

Explanation:

Menstrual cycle is a complex cycle that consists of several processes. Order of occurrence of steps in menstrual cycle are as follows:

1. High progesterone levels maintain the endometrium lining of the uterus.

2. Endometrium lining breaks down and low levels of estrogen stimulate the pituitary to release FSH and LH.

3. FSH and LH stimulates the follicles to develop and the oocyte to produce estrogen.

4. Rising estrogen levels suppress FSH production and development of other follicles.

5. A spike in LH causes follicle to rupture.

6. A breakdown of corpus luteum causes progesterone level to drop.

I hope it's helpful!!
