What is the relationship between a scientific theory and a scientific law?
A theory becomes a law after years of experimentation.
A law becomes a theory after it is verified by scientists around the world.
A law describes what happens but a theory explains why it happens.
A theory is a mathematical prediction but a law is an explanation.

Answer 1

In general, a scientific law is the description of an observed phenomenon. It doesn't explain why the phenomenon exists or what causes it. The explanation of a phenomenon is called a scientific theory.

so the third one should be correct.
