My Groups Experiment Testing Run Off Water and Glaciers!

Run Off Water

Hypothosis: For run off water was to make a slope of diatenacious earth and then pour water down it to see if it would take earth and rocks down with it. Simulating run off water, But the way we did it was a little different than the way we thought.

Procedure: So for run off water we simply tilted the bin of diatenacious earth, and then filled up a cup with water. We then proceeded by pouring the water from the cup onto the earth, simulating rain. Right when the water hit the earth is make a rather large round imprint. once the imprint filled up with water, the water started running down towards the bottom of the bin. The water was moving really fast, and taking all the earth and rocks with it. After a couple of seconds the lines of water got thicker and deeper, which then made rivers! Our experiment was successful, and clearly showed how run off water works.


Glacier


Hypothosis: We take ice and but it in a bin of diatenacious earth and see how it affects the ground.


Procedure: We took an Ice cube and set it in the earth, simulating a glacier. once the ice cube started melting we could see an indentation in the earth. once it was fully melted it made what would be a lake. Our process showed how glaciers would affect the earth
