Do you think a house made of sand or mud could hold up to wind or water? Let's find out in this erosion experiment. In some parts of the world, houses are still made from mud and sand, which makes them easier to knock down than homes made of brick and stone.
You will observe how sand dunes form, how windblown deposits are created, how water weight erosion affects the earth, how glaciers cause erosion, and how landslides form.
Erosion is the displacement of solids (soil, mud, rock, and other particles) by the agents of wind, water and ice movement in response to gravity, or living organisms (bioerosion). Basics. Soil erosion (or simply erosion) is the washing or blowing away (by the wind) of the top layer of soil (dirt).
In this science fair project, students will create a model of a shoreline, observe erosion and examine how jetties prevent erosion.
Soil erosion is partially caused by runoff washing away the soil after a heavy downpour. Runoff refers to the water that flows over the surface of the soil. It occurs when the soil is saturated or unable to absorb any more water. One way to help combat soil erosion is through the use of plants.
The experiment showed that soil erosion can occur when water is poured onto the troughs. The water caused the soil to move away from the troughs, demonstrating the process of erosion. Why do this project?
Erosion occurs when water washes away dirt, rock, or sand. Erosion happens everyday during man-made events, rainfall, and in the ocean. You have probably seen how people try to defend against erosion by placing large rocks near the edge of a river, lake, or the ocean to try to stop water from washing away the land.
