Question
what describes how elements of nature will behave under specific conditions but not why they happen? (1 point)
○ theory
○ hypothesis
○ conclusion
○ law
A scientific law describes how elements of nature behave under specific conditions. It is a statement based on repeated experimental observations. For example, Newton's law of universal gravitation describes the gravitational attraction between objects. A theory, on the other hand, explains why something happens. A hypothesis is a proposed explanation for a phenomenon. A conclusion is a judgment or decision reached after consideration. So, the answer is law.
