The fossil record of Antarctica shows the presence of tropical plants, such as one particular species related to the present day breadfruit. Most plants cannot survive in prolonged temperatures of less than 6 degrees Celsius. Antarctica is freezing all year round and could only have supported tropical and sub tropical plants if it was once much closer to the equator.
The presence of fresh water species also suggest that the continent was closer to the equator. Antarctica is frozen solid with a thick ice sheet.....rivers would be frozen solid all year round or would be limited to water movement under glaciers that melt as a result of pressure and friction. This environment is not suitable to support large fresh water organisms.
Answer:
fruit weight
Explanation:
In an experiment, the dependent variable is the variable that responds to the changes made to the independent variable. In other words, the dependent variable, as the name implies, is DEPENDENT on another variable called independent variable. The dependent variable is the variable that is measured or recorded by the experimenter during the experiment.
In this case where a student is studying the effect of fertilizer on fruit growth. He uses 6 tomato plants, which were given different concentrations of fertilizer (independent variable). After the experiment, the weight of the tomato fruit were measured. This means that the FRUIT WEIGHT is the dependent or responding variable.
