TED: What rivers can tell us about the earth's history | Liz Hajek

The video explores Earth's dynamic nature, focusing on river systems and their impact on landscapes. It highlights the Kosi River's dramatic course changes, the historical shifts of the Mississippi River, and the Amazon River's wiggles. The video emphasizes the importance of geological records in understanding past climate events and managing Earth's resources sustainably.

In what ways do rivers 'wiggle' and how does this affect their surroundings?

How do geologists use fossils to reconstruct ancient landscapes?

Discuss the impact of climate change on river behavior as mentioned in the text.

What are the implications of understanding dynamic landscapes for sustainable living?
