What is the difference between a dependent and independent variable? (Make sure you are able to identify each in an example.)

An example of an experiment:

Watering 3 flowers with different amounts of water, and measuring how much they grow over a period of time.

- The amount of water is the independent variable, and the growth of the flowers are the dependent variable.

-The independent is what you're changing, and the dependent is what you're measuring. The dependent variable, like it's name, changes depending on the independent variable.

humans can cause extinction of a species through overharvesting, pollution, habitat destruction, introduction of invasive species (such as new predators and food competitors), overhunting, and other influences. explosive, unsustainable human population growth is an essential cause of the extinction crisis.
