<span>I believe it is light, but this is kind of a confusing question. Technically there is a independent and dependent variable in the question. The variable being manipulated is light, and the earthwork activity depends on the light. </span>
Glaciers leave behind deposits known as glacial till, which are unstratified, poorly-sorted sediments. Glaciers move a wide range of sedimentary particles from small clay-sized particles to large boulders. When the glacier either melts or retreats, these poorly-sorted sediments are deposited.
Low infiltration capacity means that the soil cannot absorb much water per volume. The first step in erosion in a landscape dominated by low-infiltration capacity is the raindrop splash. This is where raindrops displace the soil from their original place because the soil cannot absorb adequate amounts of water.
Independent assortment occurs spontaneously when alleles of at least two genes are assorted independently into gametes.
A possible reason for the transition of algae from unicellularity
to multicellularity would be the evolution of multicellularity allowed algae to
develop traits that keep them close to the land and thus a source of nutrients.
