Question

How did the lab activities help you answer the lesson

Answer 1

The lab allowed me to model and observe stream and river processes. Using a virtual model, I compared low and high velocity streams or rivers, low and high gradient streams or rivers, and low and high volume streams or rivers. I found that higher velocity streams or rivers can cause more erosion, as do higher gradient and higher volume streams or rivers. Not only did these factors move more small sediment, they also moved larger pieces of sediment.
