Which model would provide data about changes in the depth of a lake caused by deposition? Options: Fill a beaker with water. Slowly allow the water to evaporate from the beaker. Measure the change in the depth of the water. Fill a beaker with water. Slowly drop sand, gravel, and dead plant material into the beaker. Measure the change in the depth of the water. Fill a plastic box with water. Put a hose in the water on one end of the box and turn the water on to a slow flow. Measure the depth of the water when the box is full. Fill a plastic box with sand, gravel, and dead plant material. Put a hose in the middle of the box and turn the water on to a slow flow. Measure the depth of the water when the box is full.

Based on the picture, which steps would produce the BEST model of how the Himalayas formed over time? Options: 1. step 1: Label one cardboard box as the Eurasian Plate. step 2: Label another cardboard box as the Indian Plate. step 3: Slowly push both plates toward each other. step 4: Observe and record how the sizes of both plates change when the edges push against each other. 2. step 1: Use light-colored clay to make the shape of the Eurasian Plate. step 2: Use dark-colored clay to make the shape of the Indian Plate. step 3: Slowly push the dark-colored plate toward the light-colored plate. step 4: Observe and record how the shapes of both plates change when the edges push against each other. 3. step 1: Use light-colored clay to make the shape of the Eurasian Plate. step 2: Use dark-colored clay to make the shape of the Indian Plate. step 3: Slowly push the light-colored plate toward the dark-colored plate. step 4: Observe and record how the shape of the Eurasian Plate changes when it touches the edge of the Indian Plate.
