Wind-driven waves are created by friction between wind and surface water. When wind blows across the surface of an ocean the continual disturbance creates a wave crest. These waves can be created through local winds or distant winds. The waves can be affected by wind speed and wind duration. The faster the wind and the longer it blows, the bigger the waves. It also can depend on how far the wind blows uninterrupted.

I hope this helps :)

Wind forms ocean waves by creating friction between the wind and surface water. This creates a rising crest that forms into a wave. As the wind continues to blow, the waves also continue. Depending on the location, the waves change. For example, when deep water waves move to shallower waters, they change into breaking waves. As the wave travels into deeper waters, it slows down and the wavelength decreases.

As the formula dose Increases, So does the weight of the babies (figurativly)

This is the Dependent variable because it depends on another factor

The Independent variable doesn't depend on the amount of formula taken because it doesn't use the formula, therefore it doesn't depend on anything, its Independent.
