The effect of slope on erosion

This task is about using a model to investigate erosion.
How we set up the equipment in the trial:

NOTE: We used 100 × 50 mm timber offcuts, to make the different heights. We used no blocks (for 0 cm), 2 blocks (which is approximately 10 cm), and 4 blocks (which is approximately 20 cm).
