Stalactites (Raul, Roberto, Lazaro)



We decided to focus on the erosion that affects the form of the plaster.  The liquid flowing through the plaster, and into the ground tends to create stalactites . But there's also other factors that alters this phenomenom. We found that there's a relation between the amount of matter on the chicken wire, the location of it, the inclination of the model and the gravity. These factor defines the shape, size, path and length of the stalactite. Throughout the whole experiment we speculated, observed and registered the causes of the stalactites formation.
