Dart Landslide January 2014

[@graham2631]

Like concrete, absolutely. I've seen the spheres of bursting dust mixing it also. You sure get a idea of land formation looking at the areial shot.

[@AdamSteidl]

This seems to make the whole process of old things getting buried under meters and meters of material, as time goes on. Never really made a lot of sense out of it, pretty much simply accepted it as fact. I also see this as part of the natural cycle of rocks getting pushed up, falling back down, eventually getting pummeled into sand, etc, some forming parts of soil, the rest getting recycled back into the Earth, only to get pushed back up through volcanic and tectonic activity.

[@hogo1]

the dust bubbles are the same process as dry clumps of protein powder in a shake or ovaltine

[@phsal5182]

great presentation. thank you

[@tomitstube]

a geological evolution in real time, fascinating and very valuable to geologists.

[@AdamSteidl]

Agreed, it is very fascinating.

[@johnnyboy195516]

as long as i have this laptop,,i love you tube,,,so much interesting issues stories and events to see learn and all!!!well done youtube,,spot on!

[@hebneh]

Looks like the stuff that flows down the actual Alps in channels lined with cement, built to accommodate just such flows.

[@MrJay_White]

1:02 dirt thats dry enough to have dust puffing out of it, flowing like mud or concrete. i dont know if its awesome or scary to see dirt act like that.

[@fonkamex]

Beautiful nature!! Thanks for sharing this footage

[@rchuso]

I like seeing people excited about the science! Nicely done.

[@themadfootballfan1816]

science sucks: i'm only watching because I have to for school

[@TheRailfan32]

awesome video!

[@robertmceachern2428]

Just more proof that air has mass.. Push it hard enough and it will push back. In 1965 we had a local mega slide. Half a mountain came down and went half way up the mountain on the opposite side of the valley. Unfortunately an earlier Snow slide had come down and blocked the highway stopping traffic. The lucky ones turned around and went back to the nearest stops. Those who stayed probably never heard (it was dark out) the 47 million cubic meters of rock and mud that roared down at an estimated 100+ miles per hour riding a cushion of compressed air. Just like a hover craft. I remember as a small child, driving through the area only weeks after a temporary road had been run through. crawling around rocks the size of houses. knowing only 2 bodies were ever recovered the rest where left buried where ever they were. Before you call bullshit, check out "Hope or Hope/Princeton slide" and see/hear for yourself.

Oh, Gad, I just love the accent! Love the country, too. Certainly THE most beautiful end of the world.

[@realitycheck7802]

Cannot locate it in the short term, but have you noticed the difficultymof mixing chocolate powder with hot water? I get lots of these sorts of bubbles which seem very reluctant to mix .

[@roythearcher]

start by making a paste with a little cold water then adding hot. it works!

[@ponrix]

wow...for a moment a new lake was born but the river took over again. awesome seeing the earth alive making new land.

[@louisbarbisan8471]

Good job , and very clear Thanks.

[@JasonJason210]

Amazing! Thanks for sharing!

[@xaiano794]

the dust bubbles could be from ultra-fine powder that doesn't mix with the water. Just a guess though

[@Aaronlcyrus]

Same effect when making chocolate milk

[@xaiano794]

Aaronlcyrus wow I never thought of that, but that is a brilliantly apt example

[@josephastier7421]

It's water vapor (note how it vanishes again). If you think it's dust, collect some and show us.

[@JoJo-jy2rw]

@@josephastier7421 fucking do your own field research you entitled twat

[@NickRoman]

so, if a mountain can erode so quickly, imagine what it took to create that mountain in the first place.

[@bucurdragos7771]

This must have been a hell of a landslide !

[@Kermadec2001]

Bucur Dragos 'is' not 'must have been'

[@a.brucemcdonald9038]

Amazing to see.

[@knudsandbknielsen1612]

Could the dust from the bubbles be caused by dry sand stone being crushed in the fall?

[@jyrialhon]

That’s it.

[@dj2ndhand]

excellent post!

[@Khomjeeee]

woah. what were in those dust bubbles?

[@JoJo-jy2rw]

Dust bro

[@Chris.Davies]

We can't look carefully, because this is only 720p!

[@RossMarsden]

Marvelous!

[@ratbag359]

Very impressive.

[@glenwarrengeology]

Very interestig to see a fan in action.

[@gingercox6468]

Little puffs. Represent dry dirt that was swept away so fast the dry dirt doesn’t have time to combine with the water

[@greaser3069]

Dart is the mud full of darts?

[@SteveWrathall]

Recently a tunnel from Queenstown to Milford Sound was not allowed because it would have deposited 1/2 million tonnes of rock into a river. But nature does that all the time

[@takumi2023]

i think they might be trying to minimize the amount of debris going into the river. if too much debris clogs the river the valley might turn into a lake and towns will be under water.

[@jimdreferee]

was this Murray Walker commentating now that he's given up formula 1

[@sevensixes7]

What's a 'hivvy' rainstorm?

[@jujuflyer]

Go to New Zealand's west coast and you will find out!

[@realitycheck7802]

I have recently seen the air bubble phenomenon on u tube videos , I will check my viewing history and post it on this channels comments section.

[@Doctor9Raccoon]

why is it hazardous ?

[@soakupthesunman]

There can be no telling when thousands of tons of debris will just decide to let go and flow down the well-worn slide pathway. You saw it flowing like concrete. Nothing can stand in its way.

[@Doctor9Raccoon]

crazy, thx for your time ;)

[@RIXRADvidz]

It's amazing to see alluvial fans in the landscape and a whole neighborhood developments plopped down on it like it's solid ground....I guess if you're a gamblin' man it's a fair bet...

[@JoJo-jy2rw]

There is no neighborhood dummy. It's the Southern Alps of NZ. No man's land

there are so many types of landslides, caused by diffrent geo faults.
