suppose you conduct an experiment which simulates glacial recession over time. what is the dependent variable in this experiment? 1.Glacial mass 2.Sunlight 3.The season 4.Time
1 is the obvious answer. sunlight nor season or time really have nothing to do with it.
independent variable influences the dependent
dependent is depending on independent variable
example
the height of water is dependend on the independent variable of how much the sun evaporates
glacial recession is like icebergs melting
dependent would be the mass of the glacier because the others aren't influencable
answer is 1. glacial mass
