Sir Isaac Newton discovered that the force of gravity between two masses
increases if the masses increase, and decreases if the distance between the
masses increases. No experiments have ever contradicted this relationship.

The well-accepted scientific explanation for many characteristics of Earth's crust
states that the crust is broken into several large plates. These plates move slowly
over the mantle below because of convection and other processes. Earthquakes
and volcanoes are most common at places where the plates interact. Evidence
from physics, chemistry, and geology supports this explanation.
Which type of scientific idea is this explanation an example of?
Hypothesis
Theory
Law
Prediction
Theory
A student proposes that sugar will dissolve faster in rubbing alcohol than in
water. The student reasons that sugar and rubbing alcohol both contain carbon
so they will mix more easily.
Which type of scientific idea is the student's proposal an example of?
Hypothesis

Why was the shrinking Earth idea replaced by the theory of plate tectonics?
Plate tectonics was a new theory, which made it more reliable.
Plate tectonics explained observations about Earth that the shrinking Earth idea
