Slope Formation

Slope Formation:

Hypothesis- Our hypothesis was the higher the slope, the more erosion that occurred would form a river.

Procedure- We mixed the diatomaceous earth in its' tub. Then we soaked up all its' liquid, and then we took a cup full of water and poured it on the diatomaceous earth. Once we did that we noticed the erosion, of moving the diatomaceous earth to a different spot, from the pressure of the water. After doing that we emptied the liquid out of the tub, and repeated the process again.

Conclusion- Our conclusion was the higher the slope the more erosion, which formed a river, and our hypothesis was correct.
