Why Do Rivers Curve?

(YouTube link)

Oh! Oh! I know this one! My father taught geology and geography, and this is one of the few lessons I remember learning as I sat through his summer classes as a young kid. It was cheaper than a babysitter, see. So, I learned words like meander and oxbow. Minute Earth explains what happens to a river over time as the water continuously flows. Our earth is quite a dynamic, ever-changing place. -via Viral Viral Videos

In order to average 30 mph, the complete two mile trip needs to take 4 minutes. However, the first mile took 4 minutes all by itself. Distance divided by speed equals time. 15 mph is .25 miles per minute. 30 mph is .5 miles per minute. 1 divided by .25 is 4. 2 divided by .5 is 4.
