Canadian geologist J. Tuzo Wilson’s hypothesis about the origins of the Hawaiian Islands, now thoroughly tested and accepted, has contributed to a much broader understanding of geological processes. About the same time that Wilson made his hypothesis, he and other geologists were recognizing that the earth’s surface is broken into several “plates” of various sizes that can move about in relation to one another. As a result of this new evidence, Wilson was most likely able to develop what scientific idea?
A. Wilson’s new findings, along with the other scientists provided enough evidence to modify Wilson’s original hypothesis.
B. Wilson’s contributions along with the findings of other scientists led to the development of a scientific law
C. Wilson’s contributions along with the findings of other scientists led to the development of a scientific theory.
D. Wilson’s new findings, along with the other scientists provided enough evidence to turn a scientific theory into a law.
