Cameron was given the following series of observations. Which represents a theory?
A. Rocks are found on the ocean floor
B. Rocks can form volcanoes
C. Rocks break down over time
D. Certain rocks form deep inside Earth (Incorrect bc I already tried D)

Respuesta :

To answer this question, let us define first what is a theory. Well, a theory is an idea or hypothesis that explained something. From the given choices, the answer is the letter "C" which is "Rocks break down over time". This is the answer since this is the only the statement that can be proven.

Answer:

Option C, Rocks break down over time

Explanation:

Since option D is incorrect as already stated the only option left is the optic C which can be considered as a theory. A theory is basically an explanation of a happening in the environment. For instance – Cameron is a rock  which is found in the ocean floor (this is a fact and not a theory) thus any explanation which let us know how these rocks were formed , how they reached ocean bed , how they got deposited there etc, can be considered as a theory as it will explain the processes behind a fact.
