Scenario: Kenneth and Catherine Lohmann of the University of North Carolina explored the orientation or direction-finding abilities of loggerhead sea turtle hatchlings under varying magnetic conditions. Hatchlings were placed in a tank of water in a laboratory either in the natural magnetic field of the earth OR in a reversed magnetic field in which north and south were flipped. The researchers then measured the direction that the hatchlings swam. The experiments were carried out in the dark and at night since that is when most newly hatched turtles migrate from their sandy nests into the ocean. What is the variable being tested in this experiment

Variable being tested: The direction taken by the hatchlings under different magnetic fields.

Explanation:

The independent and the dependent variables are the two principal factors needed in an experiment.  

In the exposed example, we know that

Goal: To explore the orientation or direction-finding abilities of loggerhead sea turtle hatchlings under varying magnetic conditions.

Experiment:

The hatchlings were placed in water tanks in the laboratory, under dark conditions and during the night.

Observations were done about the swimming direction of the hatchlings

Variable being tested: The direction taken by the hatchlings under different magnetic fields.

In this experiment, the independent variable is the magnetic field conditions. The alternative conditions -how this variable is modified- are the Natural magnetic field and Reversed magnetic field. Researchers are no interested in the magnetic field, they are interested in analyzing how the change in the magnetic field affects the turtles´ orientation. Then, we can assume that the dependent variable is the direction taken by the turtles. It depends on the change in the magnetic field. Researchers are interested in testing how the change in the magnetic field affects the orientation of the turtles. This is the variable being tested in the experiment.

answer; i believe the correct answer is (data); /// good luck

d concave shape of wave rock

explanation:

the concave shape of wave rock is a very good evidence that supports the evolution of earth due to chemical weathering. if we talk about structure of   wave rock, studies have estimated that it is around 2.7 billion years old. it also serves as the foundation of evidence that it was the place where australian continent began to form.

how the structure of wave rock was created?

studies suggest that structure of wave rock was created when the surrounded area was started to weather due to which deposition of material started on the part of land which now contains wave rock.

the structure of wave rock is considered to be one of the best-known landforms in australia. at the height of around 15 cm, there can be found flared slopes which formulate the margins of hyden rock. it is now assumed by geologists that wave rock was created by subsurface water-induced weathering and not by glaciers, waves or wind.

due to deposition of material over the period of long time, the wave rock became tougher and tougher due to weathering from surrounding terrain. this makes it a physical evidence that supports   the evolution of earth due to chemical weathering.

hope it !
