To demonstrate erosion, the experiment must show ___________________ of the brown sugar.

• heating

• removal

Sam and Oliver change their setup by replacing the taller wooden block with a much taller block. Then, they pour the same amount of water over the brown sugar as before. What will most likely happen? Choose the two statements that apply.

• The amount of weathering will decrease.

• The amount of deposition will not change.

• The amount of erosion will increase.

• The amount of deposition will increase.
