Weathering Lab Report
Water erosion is usually caused by rainfall and runoff on a slope, and the magnitude of water erosion depends on the type of soil. This can occur on river banks, seashores, streams, or even seaside cliffs. Muddy water is also a sign of erosion. There are brown hue results from the suspension of rock and soil particles inside the water.
Water erosion usually happens in the springtime because there is usually a lot more rainfall and it still might snow which creates more water into the stream to let the stream flow.
Purpose:
The purpose of this lab is to see the distance of a river
Hypothesis:
If the river flows for a longer period of time, then the distance of the river will …show more content…
The hypothesis was If the river flows longer period of time than the distance of the river will shorten because there is more time for dirt to be removed because of water erosion. The data suggest most of what I said I think it did support the hypothesis
Conclusion:
Some of the errors that were encountered in my experiment were having the water flow through so I decided to grab water source to help the water move a little fast then it did. As you can see on the graph, the graph started to decrease except for one time where it increased and then started to decrease again. I think we could’ve done it a little different then how we did it because then the data for the experiment probably would’ve been different and we would’ve got different results then what we got the first time. I think if we had a different container then it could’ve worked a little differently than how it worked out. I think the biggest impact was dumping the water into the sand because the sand absorbed up most of the water so there was barely any water left for it to really show a river flow.
