Answer:

The climate in that area is different today then when tropical plants and animals lived there

Explanation:

The climate on Earth is constantly changing, and there's numerous factors that contribute to it. The climate can shift from being warm and wet, to cold and dry relatively quickly, thus changing the flora, fauna, and the landscape as a whole. It is no wonder that tropical plants and animals are found in the fossil records in the northern part of Texas, as in the past this region has been dominated by warm and wet climate. That enabled the development of a biome that supported tropical plants and animals. That didn't lasted forever of course, and the climate changed, so Texas became a place with more temperate climate with relatively small amount of precipitation, resulting in changes of what types of animals and plants live there.

A student wants to perform an experiment to test the effect of different colored lights on the growth of basil plants. She sets
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

light is the independent variable, height of the plant is the dependent variable. Dependent is the effect that based on the independent.

Explanation:

lets break it down. 1) you want to know the effect of something you apply from one thing to another. Let say, if you grow your plants under the sunlight, the plants grow taller. In this case, the sunshine is the independent variable whereas the height of the plant/how tall it can grow is the dependent variable. 2)NOW, before i give the answer. The design of the question is not good for high school students. i think your teacher thinks "light" is the independent variable. 3)However, the question contains confounding variables in it because different lights might produce different effects to the height of the plants. If you want to test if plants are exposed to light grows taller than plants do not expose to light, then you should have all the lights are the same. 4) So, all the plants should be exposed to one certain light to avoid confounding. Confounding means that either red light and sunlight are both produce the same effect whereas the other colors do not help the plants to grow taller. 5)Your teacher should test one light at a time. So, if he is testing with all different colors of light, then light is the independent variable, and height of the plant is the dependent variable.

There are different types of channels for blood flow that transport the blood pumped by the heart. They greatly differ only in the size of their diameters. Arteries are the big ones that are located mostly near the heart. Veins are the next which is where nurses inject you to gather blood. Then, the smallest ones are the capillaries.
