A common format for a hypothesis (a tentative explanation based on data collected through observations and experiments, Press et al., 2003) is a statement that has two related variables. A variable is any measured characteristic or attribute that differs for different subjects (for example, if the mass of 100 cola cans were measured, then mass would be a variable). One of the variables is independent and the other is dependent. For example, in the hypothesis “Birds fly because they have feathers” the two variables are: birds fly and feathers. The independent variable is feathers and the dependent variable is birds fly. The independent variable (feathers) is measured from the subject (birds), whereas the dependent variable (birds fly) is managed by the experimenter. Identify the independent or dependent variables in the following hypotheses __________ is the dependent variable in the hypothesis: Water chemistry can be used to predict earthquakes. __________ is the dependent variable in the hypothesis: Geoarcheological sites near coastal sites are affected by natural hazards like flooding, earthquakes, and tsunamis. __________ is the dependent variable in the hypothesis: Widespread glaciation results in lower relative sea-level and climatic aridity. __________ is the independent variable in the hypothesis: In tectonically active mountain belts, earthquakes trigger landslides that deliver large amounts of sediments to rivers. __________ is the dependent variable in the hypothesis: Space is filled with a substance called ether, which makes it possible for light to travel.

September 12, 200421 yr Anyone good with geology? I need help... 1. water chemistry predicts 2. natural hazards affect 3. glaciation lowers 4. large amounts 5. ether allows
September 12, 200421 yr Earthquakes - dependent on the water chemistry Geoarcheological sites - dependent on the hazards Sea-level and aridity - dependent on the glaciation Earthquakes - cause the landslides Light travel - caused by the ether
