• A. The air cannot hold all of the water vapor.

• B. Water is unable to evaporate from the soil.

• C. The plants take up water and store it in their stems and leaves.

• D. Energy from the sun cycles water through the soil, the plants, and the air.

Ms. Laskey’s class developed a model to represent the process of erosion. Students put equal amounts of gravel on four trays. The trays were then set at different angles. Students used a garden hose to run water down each tray. They collected observations and measured how much time it took for the gravel to erode to the bottom of the tray. They recorded their data in the table. Which variable did the students change in their experiment?

• The amount of gravel on each tray

• The angle of the trays

• The amount of water used

• The type of gravel used
