River of sand in Saudi Arabia

This is how camels climb the sand dunes.

Saudi people are incredibly welcoming, and they have a deep appreciation for desert life. I had a spontaneous encounter with a group of guys who were savoring tea in the desert. When I asked for directions, they playfully insisted, "We'll guide you, but first, join us!" 🇸🇦💚

I will translate what the cameraman is saying: 1. Date is 2015 2. Time is 13:47 3. The location is Al Bukayriyah . 360 km north of Riyadh. Capital of saudia arabia. 4. It's not Sand. It's Hail

Imagine letting your intrusive thoughts win and jumping in

Wrong .. that’s hail not sand

It hail actually. Very interesting regardless.

The River of Sand phenomenon is often a manifestation of a fluid dynamics principle known as saltation. In this process, wind strong enough to overcome the force of gravity and friction lifts sand particles off the ground. Once airborne, these particles then collide with other particles, transferring energy and causing a chain reaction. This mechanism results in a concentrated flow of sand that resembles a river. It’s a fascinating example of how principles of physics and fluid dynamics manifest in natural phenomena.

One of the strangest phenomena that went viral around the world was that of sand river. And it is that it is a rather particular river since it does not carry water, but sand. There were many theories about this phenomenon and what was its possible origin. It happened in Iraq and through a video that went viral all over the world. Many people said it was part of a kind of apocalypse since it is something out of the ordinary. The Iraq region stands out for a dry climate where they have a large amount of sandy soil. Where this phenomenon happened was the Rub al Khali desert, famous for being the largest sand desert on the entire planet. This strange phenomenon of nature was captured by a video fan and in a matter of days the video went viral all over the world. In the video you can see a strange phenomenon of nature where you can see how a river of sand flows in the middle of the desert. Obviously this type of strange natural phenomenon captures the attention of all the locals since it seems something outside the natural limits. When there is a sand storm in a desert, it usually travels several kilometers due to the strong wind. However, if we observe the video we can see that there is hardly any wind and how the sand flows through the bed of a river as if it were a fluid. Can this phenomenon be real? To the question of whether this phenomenon can be real or not, you have to say no. What is really flowing like a river is not the sand but a good handful of boulders of hail. The video can be seen as one of the witnesses of this river of sand reaches his hand in the current and removes what appears to be a handful of hail. And it is that at that time different weather patterns of the most unusual were recorded, which included hail. We must bear in mind that the Middle East area is drier and does not usually have this kind of strange phenomenon. The region where this river of sand was found stood out for having a dry climate. However, it was hit by a terrible rain and heavy storm that caused hail the size of golf balls to fall. Because the weather is totally extreme, all citizens were alerted to the danger of damage from these storms. It was already after the storm when the river of sand and unexpected was seen. The true reality of this river is what is under the current. What actually looks like a continuous flow of sand similar to the conditions of a river is ice. In the desert they met huge blocks of ice that will move rapidly across the entire Middle East. And it is that the size of the hail balls was so large that it moved continuously while it was thawing. The river of sand is nothing more than a large number of hailstones moving along the river. Full Article:

River of Garbage 🚮
