Stream Table needs JavaScript

Stream Table is a free interactive 3D stream table for NYS Regents Earth Science. Run water over a landscape and watch it erode, carry and deposit sediment, forming V-shaped valleys, meanders, alluvial fans and deltas, and compare stream velocity with the ESRT particle size graph. Turn on JavaScript to use it.
