No, humans cannot bend water like in the fictional element manipulation seen in shows like Avatar: The Last Airbender. Waterbending is a concept found in fantasy and does not have any basis in reality.

Is there really element benders?

The moon can bend water. I don't think there are any humans that can bend though.


A steep undercut area on the outside of a river bend?

As the river flows around the outside of the bend, it accelerates just like when a car goes around a bend. The water, like a car, is pulled toward the outside of the bend through centripetal force (which is why road bends are often banked). The same thing happens to the water surface. It actually rises around the outside of the bend. This higher elevation of the water surface means that the water on the outside of the bend is slightly deeper than the inside. Since water always tries to seek a level surface, the water on the outside of the bend actually flows downward, along the bottom and comes back up on the inside of the bend. This secondary current pushes material from the outside of the bend back up on the inside of the bend - and that's where sand bars come from. So the combination of accelerated flow around the outside combined with the secondary current moving downward erodes the outside of the river bend.

How do you water bend with a bowl of water?

You actually believe in "water bending"? Oh well..Anyways it doesn't actually work. That's just a TV show for entertainment :) I guess you can pretend to and get someone to spill the water so it LOOKS like your waterbending :P


What phenomenon makes objects appear to bend water?

The phenomenon that makes objects appear to bend water is called refraction. When light travels from one medium to another (e.g. air to water), its speed changes, causing the light waves to bend. This bending of light creates an optical illusion of objects appearing to be in a different position than they actually are.


Can water bend light?

Yes it can , water refracts light , even though the light isn't as straight as it should be it refracts it. If you need proof , get a glass of water and place a pen into it and you will see as if the pen is broken. -Mikhail out That is actually why you have the rainbow:) Ange de la mort


What does katara bend?

Do rainbows bend light?

No. Water droplets bend light to make rainbows.


Can dinosaurs bend over?

O course Dinosuars can bend over. There actually many dinoaurs that can bend over for an example, a stegosaurus can bend over and eat some leaves in low lands.


How does the flow of water change where a river bends?

The speed of water at a river bend flows much faster and deeper on the outside of the bend. On the inside of the bend the velocity is much slower and shallower.


Does the refracted ray bend towards the normal in water or vegetbale oil?

In water, the refracted ray will bend towards the normal, while in vegetable oil, the refracted ray will also bend towards the normal, but to a greater degree compared to water.


A ray of light traveling from air to water will bend which direction?

The ray will bend towards the normal.
