Geography

In-s [12.5K]4 years ago

Answer:

Leeward Mountain Slopes Encourage Warm, Dry Climates

In contrast to the windward side of a mountain which is moist, the leeward side typically has a dry, warm climate. This is because by the time air rises up the windward side and reaches the summit, it has already stripped of the majority of its moisture.

What is the difference between Independent and dependent variables SCIENCE​
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

The difference between the independent and dependent variable is that the independent variable is the cause, while the dependent variable is the effect.

Explanation:

Imagine a cause and effect scenario. For example, Chris went gambling for 6 hours, and he lost $1,000. The time spent gambling (6 hours) is the independent variable, while the money lost gambling ($1,000) is the dependent variable because you can't lose the money if you never went gambling. The independent variable is the variable that is changed, i.e fertilizer 'x' in an experiment, the dependent variable is the variable affected by this change in the independent variable, i.e fertilizer 'x' affected a plant to grow 'y' amount.
