Green sunsets and dawn
This rare photo is an illustration of a meteorological phenomenon that occurs for a couple of seconds during sunset and sunrise. Conditions for this should be ideal for the light to be challenged in the atmosphere, and the sun was painted in green light.
Gates to hell, Turkmenistan
From the crater of the Darwaz Volcano, also called the "Gate to hell", gas comes to the surface of the Earth. Bright fire flames from 1971, the moment when he was lit. A similar fire was burning in Iraq for 4000 years, which was mentioned even in the Old Testament.
Volcanic thunderstorm
This phenomenon in nature is similar to the usual thunderstorm, accompanied by volcanic eruptions. It sounds frightening, but this is a stunning sight.
Round Stones, New Zealand
Moeraki Boulders is huge round rock fragments that can be seen on the shore of the bed. Such stones are found in many places in the world, including on the islands of our Arctic.
Eternal thunderstorm, Venezuela
At the mouth of the river Kathatumbo in Venezuela, you can observe a rare accumulation of thunderstorm clouds, which form such a phenomenon as a thunderstorm kathatumbo. Here, thunderstorms and lightning can be enjoyed about 180 nights a year, 10 hours a day.
Big Blue Hole, Belize
Huge pitfalls were formed during the ice age, when the sea level was much lower than the current one, and the bottom of the sea was exposed to the elements. Huge holes arose thanks to erosion, but the growth of holes ceased after filling them with water.
Steam towers, Iceland
The area around the chat is extremely active. The ghost tower of the pair rose from hot promoters in swamps and on the surface of the Earth. In combination with the northern radiance, all this looks like a landscapes of someone else's planet.
Ice caves
Ice caves are structures that are formed at the edges of the glacier under the influence of water. The cave is washed with water. The thick layer of perennial ice contains too little air and does not miss any light, except for blue, thanks to which the ice acquires such a unique hue.
Basalt columns
These columns are so ideal that you can hardly believe that they are not human hands. Millions of years ago, everything was flooded with Loo, which cooled over time and began to roll out, so today we can see this delightful phenomenon.
Fire Raduga
Fire rainbow can be observed when light is reflected in ice crystals in the clouds at high altitude. This phenomenon can be so extensive that it is often stretched along the entire horizon.
Infinite wave
Pororoka is a wave that runs along the coast of Amazon for 800 kilometers. It usually height from 3 to 4 meters. The longest wave of the world comes twice a year, in February or March, when the attacks of the Atlantic Ocean reach the mouth of the Amazon. Brazilian Surfingist put the record, driving on his board for 37 minutes 13 kilometers.
Migration of butterflies, USA and Mexico
Usually the butterflies-monarchs are beautiful, black and orange creatures, but when they begin to migrate, miracles are going to work in the sky. When the temperature in October begins to drop, the monarchs go to their journey to Mexico. They will have to overcome about 4,000 kilometers. Butterflies can cover trees with a whole layer during their travel.
Pearl clouds, Arctic
These unique clouds are very rare, as usually in the stratosphere is not enough moisture to form clouds. But during extremely cold winters, a sufficient moisture accumulates, thanks to which the clouds can be formed at an altitude of about 20 km.
Stroke Sardin, South Africa
Sardines make their own move every year from May to July. Billions of cold waters float from Cape Cape Point to the eastern shore of South Africa. Fish shoals are so gigantic that they can be seen from the satellite. Frequent shoals with a length of 8 km, one and a half width of a kilometer and a depth of 30 meters.
Blooming Desert, Chile
Each second year blooms the Atakam desert. The magnificent transformation can be observed after heavy rains that awaken the grain of plants deep under the sand.
Lenzoid clouds over the mountains
Clouds of such a form are formed during wet air in the mountains. Because of their shapes, they are often confused with UFOs.
Crab migration, christmas island
In October and November, crabs living on the Island of Christmas, begin their journey to the ocean for mating. About 18 days on the island stops the movement of cars, because all the streets are covered with a red carpet of crabs.
Clilyuk, spotted lake, Canada
When water rises in this lake, which is located near the Canadian town Osjio (British Columbia), minerals form bizarre round shapes and the lake looks completely incredible. Each circle has its own color, which depends on the amount of minerals in the lake.
Underwater Circles, Japan
These strange forms are located at the bottom of the sea, and not in the fields. They are about 2 meters wide and cover the bottom of the Japanese Sea. Each circle has its own shape. Until recently, the reason for the appearance of these circles was unknown, but, to surprise, the fish was blamed in everything. The males needle, despite its size (no more than 13 cm), draw such fields to attract females.
Frozen methane bubbles
Methane bubbles arise as a result of the decomposition of various organisms at the bottom of the reservoir. Methane rises up and frozen under the surface. However, you should not play with matches if such a bubble is revealed.
Windy Circles, Namibia
Windy circles call spots on sandy soil, which appear on pastures of Africa. If you fly from Angola to South Africa, thousands of such spots with a diameter of up to 9 meters can be observed. Scientists believe that this is the faults that live under stains and the eating roots of the plants.
Luminescent waves, Vaada, Maldives
Glitter waves give phytoplankton, which glows in the dark. The Milky Way along the beach is simply unmatched.
Sealed clouds
Similar clouds are formed under conventional clouds. This rare phenomenon occurs as a result of mixing air and clouds with different humidity, hard clouds hang under more easy.
Salted lakes
Some lakes are so salty that animals that fell into the water are covered with lime layer, frozen and turn into a stone.
Wavy-burglar clouds
Undulatus Asperatus (wavy-bug-in clouds) is so rare that they managed to classify only in 2009. We know little about them, in fact, what they fascinate.
Fire Waterfall Horsetail Fall
Horsetail Fall - Seasonal Waterfall on Kari Mount El Captain in Yosemite National Park. And the fiery waterfall is a very rare phenomenon that can be seen only a few days in February, when the temperature is suitable for this phenomenon. The sun is reflected in the water and it turns out such a glowing orange effect.
Rainbow Eucalyptus, Hawaii
In the rainbow eucalyptus their own color, they seemed to paint the artist in different colors: green, orange, purple, blue, brown. In fact, the reason is simple: the tree loses the bark at different times a year. The parts-free parts are growing differently, which causes multi-matter.
Striped icebergs, Antarctica
Beautiful blue stripes on icebergs arise when a crack in Iceberg is filled with water and she has time to climb without forming bubbles. Green bands consist of algae, which are glued to Iceberg in water. Brown, yellow and black stripes are a different kind of deposit, "captured" Aisberg on his way.
Snow colors, Arctic
These unusual floral fields are formed on a thin layer of ice on the sea when the air in the atmosphere is much colder than the ice on the sea. In the interaction of more warm and wet air with cold, such beautiful crystals are obtained.
Snow smoke pipes, Arctic
Mofettes are called the ventilation, through which steam of volcano comes to the surface. As soon as the couple leaves Zherlo, it freezes and is formed into such massive pipes around the eroch.
Glowing pillars, Russia
Such pillars can be enjoyed in the extremely cold zones of Russia. They are natural, form at the light of the moon or the sun. The light is reflected from very flat and smooth ice crystals.
Moving Stones, Death Valley, United States
These stones weighing up to 350 kg move along the dry desert without human or animal intervention.
Whirlwind Malstrom
These giant waterways arise at a meeting of two nautical flows. The flow is so strong that it can drown small boats, not to mention the swimmers. The largest whirlpool is called "Saltstraumen" and is located off the coast of Norway.
Ice hair
This strange ice is soft and, as already clear from the title, looks like the hair that grows from plants. Bacteria "Pseudomonas Syringae" is the cause of this rare phenomenon. It increases the water freezing point inside the plants and, when water leaves the plant and meets cold air, such icy hair occurs.
In nature, there is a huge number of interesting and beautiful natural phenomena, some of them can be dangerous for a person, but it does not prevent them from being beautiful.
Perhaps one of the most unusual and spectacular phenomena on our planet is a polar shine. This phenomenon arises due to the fact that the earth has a magnetosphere. When the solar wind meets with the upper layers of the atmosphere of the planet, on the northern and southern poles you can observe bright dancing lights of different colors.
- Polar radiances are found on other planets that have a magnetosphere, such planets as Saturn and Jupiter, also boast of this phenomenon.
Volcanic zippers
This phenomenon occurs during the strongest eruptions of volcanoes. Until today, for scientists, the origin of volcanic lightning remains a mysterious. There are only two types of volcanic lightning. In the first case, these are small zippers that arise near the crater, in the second, huge and powerful zippers that can be observed high in the ashes cloud. Scientists believe that two types of these lightning have a different origin.
It is believed that the nature of small lightning are electrical processes in magma. When we are talking about the big lightning high in the sky, it is believed that their nature is similar to ordinary lightning during a thunderstorm.
- There are two terms that characterize the stones and fragments of lava flying from the volcano during the eruption.
1. Lapilli (from lat. lapillus - pebbles)- so called small pebbles and slices of lava, thrown out during the eruption and after frozen in the air.
2. Volcanic bomb - In fact, the same thing as Lapilli, only much big sizes.
Unusual clouds
In nature, there are clouds that very much resemble sea waves, they are called "Celvin-Helmholts clouds".
It is impossible not to tell about the beautiful Glory clouds.
These clouds are formed by several pieces each other and have multi-kilometer length. Until now, scientists are unable to explain the origin of clouds of this type.
In addition to the wavy and rolled clouds, there are lenticular or lenzide clouds of Jacques.
Perhaps the most unusual and interesting clouds are the clouds of Asperatus.
- The Asperatus clouds are so rare that they managed to classify only in 2009.
Migration of red crabs in Australia
This phenomenon can be observed on the Island of Christmas - 120 million crabs migrate to the Indian Ocean for breeding.
The whole process has its own specific cycle. At the very beginning, the males dig special holes for mating, after mating, the males leave females and start the return route. Two weeks later, the females begins spawning, after which they also begin to move in the opposite direction.
In order not to have a bad effect on the red crab population, a special program for overlapping roads is adopted in Australia.
Natural geysers
By themselves, geasers have a rather rare phenomenon, they are totaling about 1000. The eruption of hot water with a hot steam is difficult to describe, as it is a very exciting natural phenomenon.
That's how a geyser eruption occurs
Migration Butterfly Monarch
No need to argue to say that the migration of the butterflies of monarchs is one of the most beautiful phenomena on the planet.
For the purpose of the goal, the butterfly needs to overcome 3200 km, but it is not for the power of any of these butterflies, therefore, butterflies overcome this distance in several generations.
- Gas crater in Turkmenistan. Locals and travelers call it the "door to hell", or "the gates of hell". He was lit by scientists in 1971 and since then never stopped burning.
Located 90 km from Aula Erbent. The diameter of the crater is approximately 60 meters, the depth is about 20 meters.
2. Black Sun Denmark - More than a million European flashes are going to huge flocks, creating unusual models in the air and almost closing the sun. This amazing phenomenon can be observed in Denmark in early spring - everywhere in the swampy, western part of the country. However, the largest flocks of the starlings are going to south of Jutland. Bird ballet can be seen at sunset.
3. In Morocco, you can see trees, "decorated with" living goals as shine toys. Dry and hot climate, as well as the meager vegetation of these places forcing the goats, showing the wonders of acrobatics, skillfully balance on the branches and collect the fruits of trees.
4. Lifeless landscapes of lake Natron In the north of Tanzania resemble surrealistic alien scenery. The lake, covered with the peel of salt, can change the color during the year. As a result of the livelihood of microorganisms - halophilic cyanobacteria, living in Natron, - water has acquired juicy reddish and pinkish shades several times a year. With increasing the temperature of the bacteria, a pigment is isolated, painting the lake.
5. Tidal waves (or "Bor") At the Amazon in Brazil and North in England, this is a phenomenon in which the front edge of the tide forms a wave that rises up the river against the flow. Surf lovers often use Bohr to ride on the board.
6. Lenticular (lenticular) clouds - Unique natural phenomenon. These clouds are usually formed around the hills and mountains. They look very peculiar and look like giant flying plates or a stack of pancakes. Many famous mountains around the world often photographed with a cap from these clouds, including the mountains of Shasta and Fuji.
Lentzoid clouds look completely motionless, as if frozen in time. In fact, it is not. The clouds seem fixed, since the stream of wet air constantly replenishes the stocks of the clouds from the windward side, while the moisture evaporates and disappears from the leeward side, leaving the clouds of a characteristic lenside form.
7. Frosty flowers - These are ice crystals formed on young ice in cold waters. As a rule, they are formed at low temperatures and almost the absence of wind.
8. Rishat (Guell Er-Richat, also known as the eye of the Sahara) - Geological education located in the Moorish part of the Sahara desert. The diameter of the structure is 50 km.
There are many different opinions about the origin of this amazing natural phenomenon. According to one of the versions of OKO, it was formed as a result of a meteorite fall. Some scientists believe that it arose as a result of underground nuclear explosions. However, it is worth noting that an explosion should be powerful in Gigatonna to form a funnel. Currently, no country of the world has a weapon of such an incredible devastating force.
9. Lightning katatumbo - Natural phenomenon arising above the seat of the Katatumbo River in Lake Maracaibo (this is the largest salted lake Venezuela). The phenomenon is expressed in the occurrence of the glow at an altitude of about five kilometers without accompanying acoustic effects. Lightning appear at night (140-160 times a year), the discharges last about 10 hours. In the hour of lightning flashes up to 280 times. In total, it turns out about 1.2 million discharges per year.
10. Mysterious circles under waterFounded in 1995 near the Japanese Island Amamosima in the East-Chinese Sea, look like something alien. The Creator of these drawings is a fuga fish that creates them for the attraction of female.
11. Very rarely in the sky, you can observe the striking type of the clouds, the unofficial name of which sounds like undulatus asperatus (with lat.- "wavy-buggy"; also asperatus, aspectus). In 2009, it was proposed to classify them as a new type of clouds, but it was impossible to do, because today they are not yet sufficiently studied. Despite its terrible appearance, they are by no means harbing storms.
12. Blossom of the Chilean Desert Atacama. Usually in this desert there are practically no precipitation all year. However, this year, a historically record shower passed through the region. The precipitation was so intense that there was a catastrophic flood. The rains awakened the seeds of colors that were in hibernation for many years. Such blossoms are very rare and happen approximately 1 time in 5-10 years.
13. Round-horizontal arc or near-coronal arc - Optical phenomenon that occurs from the fact that the sunlight passes through ice crystals in the upper centen clouds. This is a rather rare phenomenon, but it happens for the most part on a summer day when the sun is high in the sky. This creates the effect of rainbow directly in the clouds filled with ice crystals.
14. Cleaning or moving stones - Geological phenomenon discovered on a dried lake Resection-Playa in the Death Valley in the United States. Stones move without any participation of man or animals, however, no one ever seen the movement and did not fix on the camera.
15. Eternal Flame Waterfall in the heart of the park honest Ridge in New York. Inside the waterfall you can always see the burning fire. The phenomenon of this phenomenon is due to the fact that under the waterfall there is a natural leakage of gas, and the fire always burns at this point. The fire is not really "eternal", that is, periodically he goes out. Often, he again lights some tourist, found that the flame was extinct.
16. Magic circles in the desert of Namibia are one of the greatest secrets of nature. In the north, the circles reach a diameter of 50 meters, in the south - to three. At first, they were talking about UFOs, then in everything "accused" termites, which allegedly eaten the roots of plants under the ground. However, the evidence was never presented.
Some scientists argue that the circles arise due to the self-organization of grass. This hypothesis was proved, relying on a similar phenomenon opened in the territory of Western Australia.
17. The road of giants (Giant trail) in Northern Ireland - Monument of nature about 40,000 Basalt (less often andesitic) columns formed as a result of an ancient volcanic eruption.
18. Large blue hole off the shores of Belize It is a round karst funnel with a diameter of 305 meters flowing to a depth of 120 meters.
The blue hole has become known thanks to the French explorer Jacques-Wyu Koto, who included it in the list of the 10 best places in the world for diving.
19. Mysterious boulders MoeracKoeekohe's beach (Koekohe) near the fishing village of Moeraki in Otago (Otago) on the South Island of New Zealand. In total, on the beach of the bed on the territory of a length of about three hundred meters, several hundred boulders are crushed. Some of them lies on land, on the sandy shore, part - in the sea.
The inhabitants of New Zealand have different anti-scientific theories regarding the appearance of these boulders. One of them states that these are fossil eggs dinosaurs. In another version, their appearance is attributed to aliens, which landed on our planet, but then left it because of the harsh climate, leaving behind huge round eggs, petrified with time. And according to the legends of the Polynesian people Maori, these are baskets with food and pumpkin, which remained after the crash of a large sailing canoe Arai Te Uru.
As determined by a detailed analysis using optical instruments, X-ray and electron-probe microscopes, boulders consist of sand, yals and clay, sampled by calcite.
20. Every year on the Australian Island of Christmas Millions of red crabs migrate From the tropical forests located in the central part of the sushi, on the coast of the Indian Ocean for breeding. Migration occurs in the period from mid-October to January, during the marriage period. There is no accurate date of migration, it all depends on the beginning of the wet season.
To protect the crabs, special fences are constructed along the roads, as well as special underground. The migration peak overlap certain roads and set signs that are notified of migration.
These phenomena of nature most of us saw only in films or on the Discovery Channel. I present a detailed description with the photos of the most incredible phenomena of nature. About those phenomena that I told earlier, you can read by passing this.
1. Water blossom: More details are neon lakes we considered
When the ocean, air and temperature conditions allow, the phytoplankton of the ocean is reproduced rather quickly, creating a thick visible layer on its surface. This phenomenon, called water bloom, the day looks rather unsightly, but in some parts of California and other places where there are bioluminescent nighttime, water flowering is a really exciting spectacle. This type of phytoplankton with excitement glows in blue, which turns the dark ocean into the gigantic lave lamp. You can observe how the waves begin to glow when they blows, scattering on the sand, and the Earth begins to shine under your feet, and if you dive under the water, you will see an amazing radiance in all its glory.
2. Boluminescence
Boluminescence occurs not only in water. At the end of summer, the supernatural glow can be seen in many forests in the world, where the bioluminescent mushrooms grow on a wet, rotting crust. Boluminescence can be observed in different parts of the world, but the greatest diversity is found in the tropics, where humidity in the forests contributes to the growth of fungi. A new variety of glowing mushrooms was discovered in San Paulo in Brazil. If you want to admire this phenomenon, then make a trip to the forest during the most wet period and go away from light sources that can muffle a weak glow.
3. Fire Rainbow
Another natural phenomenon that is found in the summer is called a fiery rainbow, and it happens when sunlight falls on frozen ice crystals in the cider clouds at high height. Since with a fiery rainbow there is no rain, then scientists prefer to call it more accurate name of the near-coronal arc. Since the presentation is needed by the presence of cider clouds, and the sun should be very high in the sky, it is more common to observe it on the latitudes closer to the equator. In Los Angeles, conditions allow you to observe a fiery rainbow for six months a year, and in London for about two months.
4. Pearl clouds
For those of us who are far from the equator, there are many more reasons for observing the sky. Pearl clouds are quite rare, but most often they appear when it is still dark on the street before dawn or after sunset. Due to extremely high height, they reflect sunlight from under the horizon, brightly glowing for those who will observe them from below. In the lower stratosphere, where the pearl clouds are, so dry that it often prevents the formation of clouds, but the harsh cold of the polar nights allow you to see this beautiful phenomenon. You can see the pearl clouds in winter in high latitudes, such as in Iceland, in Alaska, in Northern Canada and very rarely in the UK.
5. Snow rollers
Snow rollers are formed when the thick layer of snow drops on the top layer of ice. At a certain temperature and wind speed, snow slices can break out and start spinning. When they roll on the ground as a winter rolling-field, then an additional amount of snow is collected along the way. The inner layers are usually more fragile, which allows the wind to blow them easily, leaving large natural snow donuts. Since the creation of this effect needs a certain temperature and wind speed, snow rollers are rare phenomenon, but they can be seen in North America and in the UK.
6. Basalt columns
Natural volcanic education - basalt columns look as if they were made by a man. Hexagonal columns are formed naturally when the thick layer of lava is quickly cooled, compressing and creating cracks on the surface of new rocks. Unusual geological formations can be seen in all corners of the world. The most vivid examples of basalt columns is the road of giants in Ireland and the National Monument of Devils Plopile in California.
7. Rain from animals: We considered it in more detail
Whereas in the small town of Yoro in Honduras, a festival of fish rain is held every year, actual eyewitnesses of this phenomenon are still quite small. However, in general, the phenomenon was reported in different parts of the world for many centuries. Most cases of falling animals from the sky included fish, frogs or small aquatic animals, although there were evidence and falling birds, mice and even pieces of meat. Despite the fact that such a phenomenon is extremely rare, most cases are easily explained. The most obvious explanation are tornadoes, during which the whirlwind raises small animals from the water, carrying them over long distances until they fall to your head. If you want to witness the rain from animals, then you should go to the places close to the water, during large storms.
8. Wavy clouds
Recently discovered cloud formations, so-called wavy clouds (Asperatus Slouds) are so rare that they were not included in the classification until 2009. Evil and stormy, these clouds disintegrate pretty quickly, not having time to call a storm. As in most cases with a wavy type of clouds, these clouds are formed when whirlwinds or opposite air masses are ruthlessly whipped the lower layers of clouds, leading to bizarre forms and formations. Such clouds are more often found on the plains in the United States and for them can be observed in the morning or in the middle of the day during a thunderstorm.
9. Green beam
The famous and elusive green beam is a rare meteorological phenomenon that occurs during sunrise and sunset. In these periods, the light of the Sun passes through large atmospheric layers, creating the effect of the prism. Of course, this explanation is not so exciting as sea legends that surround this phenomenon. But you can consider yourself lucky if you managed to watch this phenomenon. To see the green beam, try to watch the sunrise or sunset on the horizon on a clear day. The horizon of the ocean or prairies is suitable for this purpose. The green beam lasts only a split second, so do not blunt. In my opinion, this is very much like the return of the soul from the other world in the movie "Pirates of the Camibic Sea: on the edge of the world"
10. False Sun.
When the sun is located near the horizon and ice crystals are present in the air, then you can see several light rainbow spots on both sides of the sun. Always on the right and to the left of the Sun along the horizon line, these halo are committed to the sun over the sky. While this atmospheric phenomenon can happen anyway and anywhere, the effect is usually quite vague. When the sunlight passes through the cider clouds under the desired angle, these stains become the same bright as the sun. Brighter than the false sun can be observed when the sun is low in the sky in colder areas where many ice crystals are in the sky.
11. Double rainbow
The same forces that lead to the formation of ordinary rainbow can also lead to the creation of a double rainbow. Sometimes, the sunlight is reflected in the rain drops more than once, but twice, which leads to the creation of a second rainbow, which is for a brighter first rainbow. It is best to watch this phenomenon when the sky is still dark and filled with clouds, as the dark background allows you to see the more vague colors of the second rainbow.
12.Facked Icebergs
Icebergs are usually not monophonic. Some icebergs in the polar regions are distinguished by colored stripes, standing out among the arctic white and blue. When water on iceberg melts and re-freezes, dirt and other particles can get between new layers of ice, which leads to the formation of color strips on their surface. A few colored stripes may appear on icebergs. Blue stripes appear when water falls between layers of ice and freezes so quickly that air bubbles do not have time to form. When Iceberg splits and falls into the ocean, algae and other materials present in water can lead to the appearance of green and yellow stripes.
13. Lightning katatumbo
Pretty mysterious phenomenon, zipper katatumbo in Venezuela is known for their long-term discharges. This incessant lightning can be seen from the distance and they often noted for the ability to help sailors when navigating. Since the zipper katatumbo appears about 140-160 nights a year, you have a big chance to see them. They arise mainly in one place - above the seat of the river Katatumby around Lake Maracaibo.
14. Gravitational wave
Waves occur not only in water, but also in the sky. When the air is pushed up upward a more stable layer of the atmosphere, it can cause a wave effect, the same that happens when you throw a stone into the pond. To occur with a gravitational wave, interference should occur in the atmosphere, such as the upward flow of air from the thunderstorm. According to the latest research, gravitational waves can concentrate and strengthen the tornado, so if you are fortunate enough to see them, first of all, you should take care of asylum.
15. Boulders Moerac
Boulders of Moeraki - spherical stones were naturally excavated from Argillita, a dense clay rock on the New Zealand coast. People discovered these giants thanks to erosion, but they acquired their spherical shape for another reason. It is believed that the boulders were formed by millions of years ago at the bottom of the ocean, and as in oysters, pearls were formed - layers of sedimentary rocks and materials crystallized around the central kernel. Throughout millions of years, they acquired huge sizes that we can see today. The boulders of Moerac were found on the southern coast in New Zealand, but they can also be seen in different areas of South America.
18.12.2017 28.03.2019 Alexander Feri
Each of us more than once heard such a phrase as a "natural phenomenon." Under this phrase, a description of such well-known phenomena, like rain, hail, fog, or even a volcanic eruption can be hidden. But today we will not pay attention to the ordinary and long-habitual things, today we will tell you about 12 amazing imagination of natural phenomena rarely found in the world around us.
Unusual geological education is in Western Sahara and resembles an eye. Under the influence of the rising magma and erosion of the bark on the surface, the rings gradually occurred, and the circles differ very much from each other by mineral composition.
Topographic reconstruction based on satellite photographs. The age of the object is approximately 500-600 million years. Previously, there were assumptions that richat was the result of the fall of the meteorite or eruption of the volcano. By the way, this formation is capable of changing color, however, the phenomenon is explained by a banal change in temperature around it.
2. Moving stones
An amazing phenomenon affecting a few decades in the death valley in the United States. Large boulders as if they are crawling along the bottom of Lake Restrek Playa.
Witnesses of how boulding the location change, was not found. The human factor was excluded, because the trail remained only from stone. At first, this was explained by supernatural forces. Mystics added that heavy boulders could turn over and tumble as a grain, drawing fancy drawings on the soil.
It turned out that the stones were driven by plots of thin, but very extensive ice generated during the cold time of the day. When the ice melted, the boulders slid and moved.
3. Kava Izden
At the Indonesian volcano Kava, Introde can be observed a delightful natural spectacle - the blue luminous lava. The phenomenon is not only beautiful, but also dangerous.
Being nearby, you need to wear a protective mask on my face, because the glow is up to 5 meters in height is due to the burning of toxic hydrogen sulfide. The tourist is not recommended to stay here for too long, because the lake in the volcanic crater is also poisonously and consists of sulfuric acid.
It is these objects in the air observers often take for UFOs. The form of the cloud, as a rule, resembles a notorious flying plate. And for the sake of common skepticism, it is worth noting that certain waves and layers of air give the clouds a linzoid shape.
It is curious that lenticular clouds are stationary under the action of even the strongest winds. This is due to the continuous condensation of water vapor. Clouds that are glued to the sky at a height of 2 to 15 km and are precursors of the approach of the atmospheric front.
The appearance of these Pakistani trees would well fit into some movie of horrors. Thousands of trunks and crowns resemble huge cocoons. A strange phenomenon occurred after the flood. Spiders, fleeing from the flood, found on the branches and the leaves of refuge.
The arthropods of the creature of the trees of the cobweb trees are so strong that the plants have deprived of the normal opportunity to receive sunlight. But they were exterminated by the hordes of mosquitoes who put in the area with malaria. Spooky and at the same time a positive phenomenon continues until now.
The trunk and branches of the plant are painted in a variety of colors. It all depends on the time of year, age and wood thickness.
First, the bark has a greenish tint, but over time it becomes purple, orange or burgundy. When the bark is aging, it hovers with brown fragments. Thanks to the alternation of a young and old bark, a fancy drawing is formed.
Not far from Belize from a bird's eye view, you can see a dark blue right circumference in the middle of the blue smoothie of the Atlantic Ocean. The depth of the funnel exceeds 100 meters and is a favorite place for divers.
The blue hole is practically closed by the same rounded island, as if separating bright and dark water areas. Fantastic natural picture!
Thunder and lightning are not so often arising on Earth. But there is a place where for the year in the same square kilometer hits an average of 200-300 lightning.
Katatumbo River, which in Venezuela, flows into Lake Maracaibo. Powerful air flows from the Andes rush to this site, generating electrical discharges. Local swamps feed the lightning with methane. The natural phenomenon is well noticeable for many kilometers and from a long time, it was used as a natural lighthouse. Also, the zipper kathatum is the most powerful ozone generator and will soon be under the defense of UNESCO.
The mixture of weakly salmon icy water and the salted oceanic breeding breeding. Soselka rushes down and can grow along the bottom.
Image source: ripleys.com It turns out such a similarity of stalactite, only under water. Of course, Brianiklas occur only in cold waters near the poles. They are similar to the live iceland that kills everything in their path. When Brianikl touches sea stars, fish and algae, then there is also freezing them. Here is such a deadly beauty.
In the Sleepy Valley of Eastern Antarctic, you can see the streams of red water that escape from the underground river network. An unusual color of water gives microorganisms.
Due to the lack of sunlight, they have to receive energy through complex chemical reactions in which iron oxide and sulfur compounds are involved.
11. Boluminescence
Perhaps one of the most spectacular natural phenomena. Atmospheric oxygen is mixed with emitted light of microorganisms, creating fascinating blue lights in the ocean waves. It seems that powerful spotlights immersed in water. Bioluminescence appears in all its glory at night.
Photo User Catalano82 on Flickr.com 12. Underwater waterfall
Mauritius Island, located in the Indian Ocean, is amazing in its beauty. Not far from it you can observe a mysterious and charming phenomenon - underwater waterfall. Of course, water can not fall under water, but such an illusion deserves special attention.
The reason lies in the difficult terrain. Tourists with pleasure agree to even fly on a helicopter to enjoy the miracle of nature from height.
