Hypothesis: If water flows over land then the water will affect the shape of the land
Equipment: 3 cups one cup for drainage basin another cup for the water [the cup with the hole] and another cup the one we used to pour in the water. We also needed our plastic basket with was simulated to a land area. We also needed our land mixture and a ruler and a computer for recording. Also our noting paper.
Method and procedure: In the stream table experiment there were many steps. First we had to gather all our equipment. Then we had to make our plateau and get our computers ready and the cups of water ready. Next we poured the water into the cup that is placed over our plateau simulation and the water started eroding.
Events occurred: At 1:56 a river started to form. At 2:00 another river formed. At 2:40 the water was creating a hole. At 3:30 a delta formed it was a very impressive one compared to other stream tables. At 5:27 a shore started forming cause a whole lot of water formed in front of it. At 7:00 water started going down the drainage basin.
Conclusion: At first I thought would this also have such an effect on the real world. After the stream table I noticed that it really does make a change. My hypothesis was correct as I had stated before that water erosion does shape the land differently. From what I had witnessed in that experiment I noticed that all the rivers and lakes in the world eroded huge pieces of like the colorado river or the river nile all kinds of fascinating things are still eroding at this very moment and after the visual explanation of the experiment I realized how water erosion has an applicable background towards what see.
