    Another video that shows details of the construction of this tank would be nice. I’ve read the paper linked in the description, but it’s hard to make sense of the actual mechanisms employed to carry out the experiment. I really love this video by the way. Quite interesting to see turbidity like currents moving sediment down canyons. And how those canyons are carved out

    nice thank you for your explanation It helped me understand it in my geology class.

    Great visualisation. It reminds of the grand canyon, complete with a flat plateau even. Although the Colorado river carved it over billions of years, not 90mins... right?

      " Colorado river carved it over billions of years, not 90mins... right?
      No, by several orders of magnitude. Millions. This video does not come close to looking like the Grand Canyon. The GC has entrenched meanders, this did not.

      @@EthelredHardrede-nz8yv Look closer. It is very short. Do you really think that? You see it happening quickly right before your eyes and conclude it is possible to happen over millions of years? It is erosion. Minimum speeds and maximum time limits apply

      Yes. It takes a long time to cut through a mile of rock.
      " You see it happening quickly right before your eyes "
      Its not rock. Of course it goes faster. It has no entrenched meanders either. Meanders only form in slow moving rivers. This is just a sand box and its underwater from the beginning.
      "Minimum speeds and maximum time limits apply""
      Neither alleged limit exists. Just how old the Canyon is uncertain but its definitely millions of years old. Its not billions and not hundreds of millions for the canyon itself. The rocks, yes, the bottom is metamorphic granite. That layer of rock is really old, over a billion.
      So you you started out claiming its billions of years old and now you are claiming its not even millions. Perhaps you should learn some geology.

    That's crazy!
