Answer 1

Scientific Theory - Can be modified if new evidence or information arises, Often represented by a mathematical formula, Explains how a natural phenomenon works, Describes a relationship that always occurs under specific conditions

Scientific Law - Can be modified if new evidence or information arises, Often represented by a mathematical formula, Explains how a natural phenomenon works, Describes a relationship that always occurs under specific conditions

Both - Can be modified if new evidence or information arises, Often represented by a mathematical formula, Explains how a natural phenomenon works, Describes a relationship that always occurs under specific conditions
