Geologist Simon Cox explains some of the processes and features of the landslide, including some mysterious 'dust bubbles' at the base of a mud waterfall.
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.
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.

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.
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 .
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
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.
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...
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.
Didn't really see any landslide there.. cameraman little too late perhaps. I will get my camera and show volcano eruption that happen 46 years ago... :)
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.

the dust bubbles are the same process as dry clumps of protein powder in a shake or ovaltine
great presentation. thank you

Beautiful nature!! Thanks for sharing this footage
Looks like the stuff that flows down the actual Alps in channels lined with cement, built to accommodate just such flows.
this video was very good
excellent post!
Good job , and very clear
Thanks.

i dont know if its awesome or scary to see dirt act like that.
Very interestig to see a fan in action.
Little puffs. Represent dry dirt that was swept away so fast the dry dirt doesn’t have time to combine with the water
HP(India) witnessed similar disaster
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.
was this Murray Walker commentating now that he's given up formula 1

start by making a paste with a little cold water then adding hot. it works!
it is like cement.
ESTIVE AQUI,UM SALVE.
We can't look carefully, because this is only 720p!
Interesting
Is this how the grand Canon was formed by water

well did you expect mour. trees to grow after a landslide? of course it's gets worse over the years you didn't plant any trees!
What a dumb comment
Who gives a hoot
Ruru do
a geological evolution in real time, fascinating and very valuable to geologists.
Agreed, it is very fascinating.
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!
Oh, Gad, I just love the accent! Love the country, too. Certainly THE most beautiful end of the world.
I like seeing people excited about the science! Nicely done.
science sucks: i'm only watching because I have to for school
Amazing! Thanks for sharing!
wow...for a moment a new lake was born but the river took over again. awesome seeing the earth alive making new land.
awesome video!
so, if a mountain can erode so quickly, imagine what it took to create that mountain in the first place.
Amazing to see.
Very impressive.
Marvelous!

This must have been a hell of a landslide !

There is no neighborhood dummy. It's the Southern Alps of NZ. No man's land
the dust bubbles could be from ultra-fine powder that doesn't mix with the water. Just a guess though
Same effect when making chocolate milk
Aaronlcyrus wow I never thought of that, but that is a brilliantly apt example
It's water vapor (note how it vanishes again). If you think it's dust, collect some and show us.
@@josephastier7421 fucking do your own field research you entitled twat
Tons and tons of untouched rock debris! Get out your gold pans!
Ok
Just what I was gonna ask ... any gold in that area ?
Could the dust from the bubbles be caused by dry sand stone being crushed in the fall?
That’s it.
Dart is the mud full of darts?
woah. what were in those dust bubbles?
Dust bro
That disaster is deadly
To the trees
Nature in the raw is seldom mild.
How fossils are made and preserved.
Noah's flood created the fossils chico..

@AquaticBoardwalkEngineer And some still suffer the Ice Age fallacy.
there are so many types of landslides, caused by diffrent geo faults.
And I live in Dartlandia
"mysterious 'dust bubbles' at the base of a mud waterfall" so much we don't know...
Puffs of mud. Cool.
What's a 'hivvy' rainstorm?
Go to New Zealand's west coast and you will find out!
why is it hazardous ?

crazy, thx for your time ;)

Not . . .

Interesting video but you do sound like a kiwi version of that minecraft guy.
I live right next to a hill I'm like 3 or 4 houses away o.o
Shut up
Ok I will thanks for the advice! :)
did he say concrete lol shits gnarly

Still waiting. It's been 4 years
