Erosion Experiment

Wonderings and Ideas

How does erosion change landforms?
What are the natural elements which cause erosion on landforms?
Observations made by Room 4 about the type of soil and sediment used during the experiment and what changes occured to the landforms before, during and after our erosion experiment.


Some of our thoughts are as follows:

1. Many factors contribute to landforms eroding especially heavy rain, wind, storms, heating and cooling and earthquakes.



2. The landforms made didn't change too much in the beginning except for the light gravel and greenery which flowed slowly to the bottom of the tray (representing the river) When the water was poured quickly, the landform changed quickly. The small stones moved down the tray along with some of the bigger stones.
