On my way down to the gym I spotted some steam rising out of the ground. The path that it took was almost like the river, it winded into the air, heavily affected by the wind. I’d highly suggest checking it out at night, it’s very pretty. Does anyone know why this forms?
Last week on a rainy night I noticed that there are some cracks in the sidewalk on campus that resemble rivers as if you were looking at a river from a plane or on a map. Also, the rain seeps through the cracks which actually makes the connected cracks into mini rivers, which is interesting to think about.
The other day walking around the campus, I saw all of the leaves blown into the corner of the road. It filled the same area that water would be if it were there. It gave the feeling of a stream of leaves.
Heading down to Fisher Stadium, I noticed these crevices within the wood chips on the curb. I realized that the heavy flow of water downhill from the rain that poured earlier caused these to form. The flowing water was strong enough to make its own pathway within the wood chips, just how rivers create their own pathways on Earth’s landscape.
