Question 16 • LPISD Earth Systems A - CR

What will most likely happen if scientists use updated technology and make new discoveries about a theory?

Answer
A
A new theory will take the place of the old one.
B
The theory will become a law.
C
The theory will become a hypothesis.
D
Further experiments will confirm the new discoveries.

Explanation

New technology can provide evidence that changes scientists’ understanding of how something works. If new discoveries conflict with an existing theory or explain the evidence better, scientists may revise or replace the old theory; it does not simply become a law or a hypothesis.
