¿Por Qué Se Curvan Los Ríos?

The video explores the dynamics of rivers, contrasting the stable courses of mountain rapids with the flexible paths of plains rivers. It explains how small disturbances, like a muskrat burrowing, can lead to significant changes in riverbanks, causing erosion and altering the river's course. The video also discusses the regular patterns of meandering rivers, noting that their curves become more pronounced over time, eventually forming oxbow lakes when the river cuts a new, straighter path. The video concludes with a reflection on the universal nature of these processes, pondering what names Martians might give to similar formations.
