      doing the experiment again would be amazing. maybe an other type of demosntration with the machine? maybe show how inconsistency in the dirt can change the erosion etc?

      You should do a time lapse

    Would be interested to see this performed with a more densely packed, finer particulate and with a normalised flow rate to better represent a scaled down section of land - and to have the experiment run for longer, possibly recorded with timelapse

      That would take years, in the case of scaling down a river for clearer demo

      There is no normalised flow in nature
      High in rainy season, low in dry season
      But yeah. Timelapse would be better. And use mixed soil. I mean.. a mix of soil, clay, sand, and some minerals n metals

    This reminds me of the stuff my older brother and I used to do in our back yard as kids.
    Not for science or anything just for fun, but we'd dig up thin channels in the yard and let the hose go at the start of it to set up rivers for our army men and tanks and stuff to have to cross for these big wars we played out.
    Our parents used to go ballistic when they found out and the neighbors kept complaining we were flooding their yard too, but it was just so much fun just making our own rivers.
    Got hella muddy though. Especially when our dog decided to play in the water streams.

    Oxbow Lakes are formed
    when a rivers meander
    is too wibbly wibbly wobbly
    to maintain the course it's on.
    The flow of the stream
    diverts itself accordingly,
    leaving the oxbow lake behind,
    but here's my question son...
    What the hell's an oxbow,
    are our bovine friends
    fashioning weaponry?
    Someone should tell me
    do I need to buy a shield?
    Oxes just ain't known
    for their dextrous ability.
    You need to watch out around them
    or you may lose an eye!

    Very good experiment (came from part 1). It's amazing how all this erosion takes thousands of years to happen and we just see it's results in a small model. Obviously Grand Canyon and such places formed that way (well, most by it).

    • @ElpSmith

      I’m pretty sure some of the big craters like the Grand Canyon have been formed by meteorites

    Oxbow lakes are formed when a river's meander is too wibbly-wibbly-wobbly to maintain the course it's on. The main flow of the stream diverts itself accordingly, leaving the oxbow lake behind but here's my question son: What the hell's an oxbow? Are our Bovine friends fashioning weaponry? Someone should tell me, do I need to buy a shield?

    • @Matio25091
      @Matio25091 3 года назад

      Crazy enough it usually alternates between straight and bendy. The straight bits eventually eat away at one side slightly more than the other, then once the smallest of bends forms, the faster water on the outside carves it out more and more until it's so bendy, it connects the bends and becomes straight again like in the video

    Not all oxbow lakes are natural. Near my home, the Minnesota river has a number of manmade oxbows. The river was straightened and dredged to improve barge passage in the 1960’s. One quirk is there will be little pieces of land that no longer is connected to the state or county that they are technically part of. The Fort Snelling state park is in 3 or 4 cities and 3 counties. 2 major rivers come together there.

    maybe i'm being a wisearse, but i don't mean to sound like one.. On one hand i understand that it is interesting to watch the effects, and try to learn from it.. But i though it was already established that even though water always tries to take the easiest path forward, guided by gravity... a section of a river observed over many many years, would look like a snake swimming on the surface of water... coiling in sinus waves..
    But maybe it is me, who fails to see the significance of this experiment, but to my understanding a river constantly changes its path, just so gradually and slowly, it is usually not apperant to our limited observations and lifespan... But lets say you had fotage of a rivers path through a valley, for 100 thousand years, if you don't consider the delta, or the source.. everything inbetween should coil back and forth, quite consistent, with minor variations due to bedrock and other obstacles with higher resistance to change.
