As I was walking to class today I was looking at the bike lock structure and I noticed that then I looked at it from an angle it looked like a meandering river. A meandering river is when the current of the river erodes the bands of the side of a river giving it bends. Once this anomaly occurs it may lead to a river looking like the bike lock structure. Sometimes when a river forms this meandering look Oxbow lakes form. A Oxbow lake is formed when a s shaped river will straighten out forming bowed looking lakes where the river one was before it straighten out.




Rivers on campus. After the big rain storm we received the past week I was walking back from dinner and found a river in the middle of campus.
As I was going through my social media the other day I had come across a phenomenon called crown shyness,”In which the crowns of fully stocked trees do not touch each other, forming a canopy with channel-like gaps. ” This Phenomenon usually happens with trees of the same species. Although I have not seen this happening on campus I found the channel gaps looking very similar to a river map with its contributing tributaries.
