Rain
Can you
measure the speed and force of raindrops?
What is the effect on soil, with and without ground cover?
Could you simulate the effect of rain?

Introduction:
| Meteorology
is the science that studies atmospheric phenomena and
weather conditions. We want to be able to predict
weather and it's effects on our environment. Conditions
such as rain, snow, flood and tornado are especially
important because of their potential hazard and economic
effects. Rain is among the weather conditions that
causes erosion and may lead to floods, landslides and
avalanches. |
 |
In this project we will try to
determine the speed and force of raindrops. We do this because
speed and force of rain drops are two factors that affect the
rate of erosion. We will then simulate the effect of rain on
soil, with and without grass and vegetation. |

Project
description:
In this project you will simulate a rain generator and test the
effect of raindrops with different sizes or different speeds on
soil erosion. You will also perform an experiment to see how
vegetation and organic matter affects the rate of erosion caused
by rain. |
