What is a meander - Geologist describes meandering streams, rivers and oxbow lakes.

[@jedimasterlev15]

You said "2 minute Geology", but the video was 3 minutes long!

[@SsbYvdvkkf5]

No offense but i couldn't take my eyes off the meander on his head....

Just wanted to let you know that 8 years later and your work still helps people.

[@MOHAMMADMISBAHSIDDIQUE]

[@JRFkiran]

Geography classes should be like this, instead drawing a diagram in black board , what our teachers do..

[@adiraj9198]

Exactly! :)

[@Man--KiNd12]

Would be expensive more than enough ...and our govt.will never invest so much for our education purpose and youth development...they can't understand investment in education is not spending..it will pay back to the country..

[@Kim-cq4fe]

This is the first time I understand geography! Thank you from Holland!

[@Ellensburg44]

Great to hear, Kim!

[@JamesBond-rb1ln]

You mean geology

[@Kim-cq4fe]

James Bond in my geography class were discussing this topic therefore I said geography instead geology

I didn't know Bill Clinton is into geology.

[@johnwilliamson2276]

If this was good old Bill you'd see a teenage girl close by. So, it's my guess that it's not Bill.

[@Ellensburg44]

Glad that you're liking our stuff, Chris! Are you the Chris that I met on Saturday at Dry Falls?

[@bradreynolds7954]

That's cool! I always assumed that rivers just carved their way deep into the land. Love your series! It's very entertaining and informative.

[@vinxwl]

hi bro

[@thestadermann]

What's causing the uplift then?

[@akoamoseetave3091]

Orogenesis, isostatic equilibrum.

[@Ellensburg44]

Thanks MrCalhoun! Looks like an interesting paper. I'll pretend I understand "cellular automaton approach"!

[@vancebacri5894]

Nice line the podcast. Give me some pointers about Massachusetts please.

[@juggernaut4978]

You rock! This helped me in my Geography class.

[@Ellensburg44]

Yeah buddy!

[@jupinderchauhan92]

Very nicely explained. A good effort from the Prof. I would wish to see more such videos.

[@Ellensburg44]

Thanks! We've got 12 videos online so far. Search '2 Minute Geology' in Google.

[@michaelkaiser4674]

Thanks again for sharing life with enthusiasm and passion

[@anuragdubey4442]

Thank you 😊 You explained the concept by actually visualising it! Love from India

Thank you i have a geo test tomorrow and a national curiculam one too, thank you! greetings from dubai

[@Ellensburg44]

Good luck, Maitha. Greetings from a little town near Seattle, Washington.

[@KathyWilliamsDevries]

Professor have you been holding out on your live stream fans by not singing us a geology song and playing your guitar?

[@slobzone]

fantastic resource, really well explained, showed to my A level group in UK, they love you!!

[@Ellensburg44]

Sweet! Thanks for the report. Hello from the US.

[@TaylorFarm1]

Well done! This series is a great idea - I'll be using them as my hook videos for my middle schoolers.

[@obelix2545]

Are you alive?

[@surmanibaxla8789]

Thank you Sir for your explanation it nicely I was able to understand it finally

[@Ellensburg44]

Good tip!

[@regular-joe]

Nick, I've got a couple decades on you, but I can't tell you how much I enjoy being addressed in the beginning of the video as "young person". I'm still learning, in spite of my years! Edit - I've enjoyed bunches of your videos, both the short and full length ones. Thanks for all you've shared!

[@vinxwl]

hi bro

[@regular-joe]

@@vinxwl He uploads frequently to his own channel "Nick Zentner" and you'll find some older ones he uploaded to the Central Washington University channel.

[@misteredventure]

I'm a fan, and I like this video, but I'm surprised that he didn't explain why rivers meander in the first place. I found a good video on that, though www.britannica.com/video/185625/meanders-formation-rivers-streams-disturbances-disturbance-stream

[@gregdyke1]

Wow, brilliantly presented video!

[@Ellensburg44]

Thank you! Hello from America.

[@jrregan]

So... you're saying expose yourself, because that's what Mother Nature did? I'll have to watch again.

[@hickrick]

I live in southern appalachia in the ridge and valley section and in karst areas i look for big creeks with meanders cutting through lines of ridges because sinkholes, springs/swimming holes, and caves are always nearby.

[@rdgurule]

Have driven that canyon road many times. Never gets old.

[@vinxwl]

hi bro

[@markfox1545]

A road never gets old? Wtf are you talking about, dick, what does that mean?

[@mdejazuddin8980]

meander is turned river.

[@stephenrafter1022]

It's not all young that watch these videos..

[@dineru2004]

I'm 20 😊

[@Ellensburg44]

Moraines are ridges composed of poorly-sorted glacial till. They form at the edges of glaciers, so even when the ice melts away...we can determine where glaciers sat during the Ice Age. We'll do a video on moraines at some point down the road...

[@Ellensburg44]

Florence K. Robinson Yes! A classic location...

[@Ch-thalassa]

At 2:47. How long until the oxbow lake forms there? Looks like its getting close. A few million years perhaps?

[@ramstacp]

As referenced in the video, it will not form an oxbow lake and instead continue down cutting.

[@hestheMaster]

One day this will be like the Grand Canyon of Washington State!

[@Hardik.Kalasua]

I love the vibe of this video. Great presentation. And also the song.

Hello from Australia!, Excellent explanation and approach to geology. Waiting for your next vids Thanks!

[@Ellensburg44]

Thanks Gavin! Tom & I are still out hiking and filming. We appreciate your encouragement.

[@Ellensburg44]

Uplift intensifies erosion, IronMan. Your potholes and fast water make sense with an entrenched meander system. We have geodetic instruments measuring uplift rates.

[@daviddulom8258]

I wish it was 5 minutes geology.🎼🎼🎼🎼

[@eiadabbaspubgmobile8990]

The first time I understand geography

[@cbrue1896]

No, it wasn't me. Though I have been there before. Awesome location! Hey, I hope you and Tom continue with this series. I have really enjoyed it. May be you can double it and do a 4 minute Geology. May be you could do a video on the Mima Mounds west of LIttlerock, WA

Hi, Can anyone tell the difference between entranched ingrown and incised meander.

[@Ellensburg44]

Same concept for all terms.

[@Basaltbeisser]

Very good explanation. Great landscape. Thankyou for this video.

[@alphy79d]

Could you put the lat longs or a googlemap url to the point where you took these pictures? It would be cool to use this in my class to teach the kids while doing a googlemaps fly over. Thanks for the awesome vids.

[@van9122]

can anyone explain how the land rises between the river? that makes no sense. if it were tectonic activity wouldn’t the river rise as well?

i am a little confused sir.....plse explain the difference between entrenched meanders and meanders or are they both same??

[@Ellensburg44]

+nihit srivastava Sir, meanders are the river curves that develop on flat land. Entrenched meanders are the rive curves that dig down into the bedrock layers forming canyons. Thanks for watching.

[@TushitaSinghisawesome]

Hey ***** Could you also please do a video on mushroom rocks and how they're formed? I have an exam coming up and desperately need to understand the phenomenon. Thanks :)

[@Ellensburg44]

We've got a lot of cool stuff here in Washington, Tushita, but mushroom rocks not in our wheelhouse. You're on your own!

[@TushitaSinghisawesome]

I see. Anyway, thanks. love your videos :)

[@tejansaien4147]

@@TushitaSinghisawesome maybe they are the cap rocks above the rocks which are more susceptible to wind erosion.

[@Ellensburg44]

thestadermann....the uplift is being driven by a graceful clockwise rotation within the North American Plate here in the Pacific Northwest. The rotation is from movement of the Pacific and Juan De Fuca plates. Thanks for your interest.

[@hillwalker250]

I chuckle when you say hello young people. Me and Leslie are 62 and 65 respectivley. We are staying young by learning new things all the time so I suppose you are talking to us too!

[@MrCalhoun556]

Very fascinating phenomena. I've found a paper describing how to simulate this phenomena using a cellular automaton approach. I don't think I have the time to recreate it by myself but anyone interested might check it out: Modeling Evolution of a Meandering River Channel; 2001; Wang, Liu, Zhang and Huo; Ningxia University.
