Conceptual diagram of a braided river and its stratigraphic deposits. Zones of thread confluence and thread splitting, shown by blue arrows, facilitate the formation, accretion, and deformation of bank-attached and mid-channel bars. Within a larger channel-belt sand body, bar deposits can be stratigraphically preserved as packages characterized by sigmoidal bar clinothems that accrete in the direction of bar growth and downlap (e.g., blue arrows in cross-stream stratigraphic view) | Old Memories

The Padma River

This stunning NASA timelaspe shows the Yarlung Zangbo River, a "braided river," in Tibet over nearly forty years. According to NASA, the images are false-color and "incorporate wavelengths of light undetectable to human eyes, to better distinguish between water (blue) and land (brown)." "Braided rivers form when fast water meets too much sediment," NASA explains. "Regular flooding results in constantly shifting channels that split, rejoin, and erase themselves year after year.
