Left bank? Right bank?
Please define what you mean by the left or right banks. Do you mean the north or south banks? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.0.132.57 (talk • contribs)
 * At Right Bank (disambiguation), it says:
 * The right bank of a river is the side to one's right while facing downstream.

 * Although its not common English usage (its a Frenchism I think). 82.68.102.190 (talk) 19:42, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Placer gold accumulation
Logic says in syllogism - if water flows down-hill over rock, then eventually, the precious metal or mineral will wash down to the valley. Further, if the matter (gold & mineral) is heavier than water, then force and gravity will distribute the matter. Force (water current) will push the matter down the path of least resistance. Gravity will attract that matter to the centre of the earth. Therefore, matter is washed from the hills to the centre and sides of the water-flow. Stream tests have shown that sediment will gather at the bend in the stream (water-flow) but (gold) accumulation, in the centre, is just theory.

Actually, Baer first published his description in the Courier of Astrakhan Governorate in 1856: Бэр К. Обмеление устьев пек вообще и реки Волги в особенности. Астраханские губернские ведомости, 1856, No. 40, с. 149-151. Also, the claim about the ineffectuality of Coriolis' force might be somewhat incompatible with the original article by Einstein, so you better check it up. --82.131.109.135 (talk) 20:27, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
