How do rivers form? (surface and groundwater flow)

  • In this video, we will look into why water flows in rivers long after the rain has stopped. Where does the water come from? We will learn that rivers are fed from surface runoff, as water flows over the surface during, or shortly after it rains, but also through their beds, by groundwater which infiltrates through the soil and is stored in the pores of rocks in large underground reservoirs called aquifers. Finally, we will see that some water also comes from the melting of snow and ice high up in the mountains.

    • @brightblue-earthscience
      @brightblue-earthscience  Рік тому

      You can divert the path of an existing river but you cannot really create a brand new river just by digging somewhere beacause as soon as the river is bed is higher than the water table it will loose the water. To prevet that from happening you would have to make the river bed impermeable.

    Okay so this explains only why rivers stay with water in them and where it comes from but, it doesn't tell you how rivers are FORMED like the title suggests.
    How is a river formed? like how does the land separate originally in order for water to even pass through in the first place? Are they natural? are they Man-made?
    Is it simply gravity and wherever happens to be the lowest part of land it can reach is where the river basin forms and thus grows into a river creating a bed for itself as it corrodes through the landscape?

    Then your hearts hardened after that, so that they were like rocks, rather worse in hardness; and surely there are some rocks from which streams burst forth, and surely there are some of them which split asunder so water issues out of them, and surely there are some of them which fall down for fear of Allah, and Allah is not at all heedless of what you do.

      @brightblue 2 роки тому +1

      That is incorrect. The surface of the Earth is continually being reshaped and remodelled and rivers play a big part in it. The paths or rivers change constantly, sometimes very gradually, sometimes dramatically. It is for example not uncommon for a river to alter its path following a big storm. Besides, when the Earth was hot and soft and molten (as you say) there was no liquid water on the Earth's surface. It takes at least several hundred degrees for the rocks to be molten, and all the water would be transformed to vapor.

    • @brightblue-earthscience
      @brightblue-earthscience  2 роки тому

      Hello and thank you for your interesting comment that allows me to explain better. We may think that rivers are static features or networks of carved out channels that are then filled with water (if I understand your comment right this is what you imply), but that is not really what happens. In fact rivers are highly dynamic systems, their paths is determined by topography (i.e. the shape of the land over which the water flows ), the type of rocks that make up the land, but also by how much water there is and how fast it flows. Moreover, rivers themselves can change the landscape, through erosion. When water flows it will carve its own path over time. These paths, are not fixed : it is not uncommon for a river, or a portion of a river, to change path, sometimes gradually, often suddenly. So for many practical purposes, the water is the river. In this sense I think that if you can explain how water gets to the river, you can explain how the rivers are formed.

    • @brightblue-earthscience
      @brightblue-earthscience  Рік тому

      The water does not climb up the mountain. It falls from the sky and starts movinf downwards towards the sea. Some of this journey happens at the surface, some undergroud. If the level of the water underground rises above the level of the surface, the water comes out (that is how a spring forms).

To each their own, living for the tangible but be cursed to see it all decline, or to live in fear or perhaps pseudo hope/ or grandeurs if there are redemptions after death...

    rivers receive VERY LITTLE water from the "water table" 99% of the water comes from the snow peaks and ground runoff, the fact this video spent so much time talking about the water table is why people are so stupid.

    • @brightblue
      @brightblue 2 місяці тому

      Dear Philipp, it really depends... some rivers are indeed in large part fed by glaciers and runoff, but there are many others that are not... First of all, many rivers do not originate directly from glaciers but from springs (a spring is where the water table reaches the surface), secondly the entire premise of the video is to discuss why is there water in the river even when there is no surface runoff.... Finally, I am not sure what river you are referring to as fed 99% by snow and surface runnoff, but as far as I know, they are not very common : even in the Himalayas glaciers provide, at peak season, only a maximum of 80% of the water in the river (see Rowan, A. V. et al., Geological society spec. pub. , 2014) and, as another example, the Upper Colorado River (which receives plenty of snowmelt and runoff), has been found to have roughly 50% contribution from baseflow (see Rumsey et al, Journal of Hydrology, 2015) . IN ANY CASE, lowering of the water table has major consequences to the amount of freshwater available in rivers and understanding the relationship between ground and surface water is ESSENTIAL to properly manage our water resources and more generally to understand the water cycle . Failing to do so would be , maybe not quite stupid (I actually do not believe people are generally stupid), but let's say ignorant ?
