Astudent does an experiment for a science fair to study whether temperature affects the timing of a cricket’s chirps. the student keeps a cricket in an enclosed box that is heated to different temperatures each day for twelve days. the student records the cricket’s chirps by using a sound-activated microphone so the timing of the chirps can be measured. which is the dependent variable in this experiment?

from the original order (top to bottom) the new order will go

1 (founder)

4 (hawk)

2 (mutate)

3 (next generation)

the correct answer is:

a population changes in response to a change in the environment.

answer:

convection currents in the magma drive plate tectonics. heat generated from the radioactive decay of elements deep in the interior of the earth creates magma (molten rock) in the aesthenosphere. the aesthenosphere (70 ~ 250 km) is part of the mantle, the middle sphere of the earth that extends to 2900 km.
