A student will measure and record the growth (in height) of two flowering plants every other day for 20 days. Each plant will receive 200mL of water each day, but only one plant will receive 10mL of fertilizer. whats the independent variable, dependant variable, and the standardized variable?

The correct answer is -

the independent variable - if fertilizer added or not,

the dependant variable - the height of the plant and

the standardized variable - 200ml water

Explanation:

In this study, the student wanted to see the effect of the fertilizer on the growth of the plant so the independent variable is the treatment of the fertilizer as manipulated or the independent variable is the factor which is affected or changed purposely during an experiment while other variables remain constant.

The dependent variable is the factor that is based or depends on the independent variable and measured to see the effect which is the height of the plants in this case.

The standardized or the control variable is the variable that remains constant throughout the experiment, 200 ml water treatment is the control variable in this experiment.

the electromagnetic energy from the sun arrives in the form of visible and invisible light.

c. earths continental crust is thicker than its lithosphere.

because, the lithosphere is the outermost layer of the earth/ 100 km thick and is defined by its machanical properties.the lithosphere contains oceanic and continental crust that varies in age and thickness across locations and geologic time. the lithosphere is the coolest layer of the earth in terms of temperature. the term lithosphere should not be confused with the use of "geosphere" which is used to indicate all of earth systems, including the atmosphere, hydrosphere   and biosphere. the surface of the earth can be divided into the continental crust and the oceanic crust.   the continental crust is made mostly of granite while the oceanic crust is made of basalt. the average thickness of the continental crust is 25 miles and the average thickness of the oceanic crust is 5 miles.   three types of rock, igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic, make up the surface of the earth. that's why 3 option is preferable.
