A prediction or possible solution to a scientific problem that can be tested:

• hypothesis

• control

• experiment

• variable

Identifying the independent and dependent variables in an experiment will help you interpret and convey results. What is the difference between them?

• The independent variable is a number and the dependent variable is not.

• The independent variable is altered and the dependent variable is measured.

• The dependent variable is controlled by the investigator and independent variable is what happens as a result

• The dependent variable is found in the first column and the independent variable is typically found in the second column

What happens to older oceanic crust as new rock is formed during seafloor spreading?

• it becomes new rock

• it gets pushed under the mid-ocean ridge

• it is pushed away from the mid-ocean ridge

• it forms new volcanos on the ocean floor
