If you could repeat the lab and make it better, what would you do differently and why? There are always ways that labs can be improved. Your answer should be at least two to three sentences in length. The lab question was What factors affect the power of a river to cause erosion?

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.
