Reversing Falls Rapids of Saint John New Brunswick Canada - World's Greatest Tidal Impact on a River

Описание: Welcome to this mesmerizing video of the Reversing Falls Rapids at Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada. Located on the Bay of Fundy, this natural wonder is a breathtaking sight to behold. The Reversing Falls Rapids occur as the Bay of Fundy's high tides force the Saint John River to flow upstream, causing a reversal of the river's direction and creating powerful rapids that crash against the rocks. The resulting water display is nothing short of captivating. Join me on this virtual tour as we witness the power and beauty of the Reversing Falls Rapids in all their glory.
The Reversing Falls Rapids gorge through which the Saint John River flows was created 11,000 years ago. As the ice ages receded water flows increased off the land. The force of moving ice, water and sediment broke a new route to the ocean here.
Here at the Reversing Falls Rapids, there are three distinct tidal conditions:
LOW TIDE. As the water rushes out to the Bay of Fundy, dramatic whirlpools form. To see whirlpools … come at the low tide extreme.
SLACK or NEUTRAL tide is the time between low and high tides. Opposing forces are in balance, and waters are calm for about 20 minutes. This is the time vessels can safely sail through the gorge.
HIGH TIDE. To see Reversing Falls Rapids in reverse … come at the high tide extreme. A force strong enough to reverse the direction of the Saint John River and raise water levels as far away as Fredericton …. 90 kilometers to the north ! Only a strong spring snowmelt in the watershed can temporarily stop this phenomenon !
Today the Saint John River has a large watershed of 56 thousand kilometers. The watershed reaches from Maine USA in the west and Quebec in the north to lands covering one-third of New Brunswick. All water passes through the narrow gorge here at the Reversing Falls Rapids and enters the Bay of Fundy!
The Reversing Falls Rapids is truly a Natural Wonder. #canada #explorenb #newbrunswickcanada #wonders #worldwonders #naturalwonders #lowtide #hightide #nature #naturelovers #naturepower #rapids #bayoffundy #skywalk #pangaea #geosite
