A group of students ran two stream tables. They wanted to know if slope would affect how far the earth materials traveled. They set up one stream table with a standard setup (flat slope) and put a wood block under the other to create a slope. They measured the distance the earth materials traveled in both tables. One students' observations and measurements of the stream tables are shown here. Based on the results, choose the table that had the slope.
Table A
Table B
Both Table A and Table B
Neither Table A nor Table B
Match each definition with the correct term.
