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
