What formed the quicksand river in Iraq?
In Iraq, when rivers, rainy seasons and flash floods occur in uncertain years, the valleys are flooded with water, while the weather is fine and dry without water. Occasionally it rains cats and dogs in the desert, causing the flood in the dry valley to skyrocket, and the heavy rain sometimes turns into hail. Hail occurs in the upper reaches of the river, and ice travels downstream with the river, taking away a lot of sand on the way, which gives people the feeling that sand is flowing. If you look closely, you can find that the people in the video grab some white particles from it, which is hail. This phenomenon is not common.
