These are the places with the most shocking natural phenomena on Earth according to us
There are strange natural phenomena happening in the world that people can only admire without being able to explain. Mysterious undersea circles were discovered off the southern coast of Japan in 1995. These circles became a mystery that prompted scientists to study them for years to find the origin of the sea. they. It was not until 2011 that they found out that the puffer fish was the author of the mysterious circles on the ocean floor. Male puffer fish make circles in order to attract females.
The Great Blue Hole is located in Belize. Many years ago, when the sea level was still low, this big blue hole was actually an inland cave. Until the sea level started to rise, this cave became flooded. Currently this "big blue hole" is about 400 feet deep and about 1000 feet above sea level. Scuba divers often love the site, swimming in the clear waters and admiring marine life, including tropical fish and animals like sharks.
The Catatumbo Lightning is often referred to as the "Eternal Storm". This is an atmospheric phenomenon occurring at the mouth of the Catalumbo River, Venezuela. Catatumbo lightning originates from a large group of storm clouds at an altitude of more than three miles. However, from January to April 2010, the phenomenon did not appear as drought in the area raised concerns that this "Eternal Storm" would completely disappear. This phenomenon usually lasts 10 hours per day and for 160 days per year.
Great Prismatic Spring, Yellowstone National Park, USA. It is also the largest hot spring in the United States and the third largest in the world. In spring the lake water has a particularly bright color. The nature of the lake has such color because of the colored bacteria that live in and around the lake. The colorful lake water is rich in minerals, and when exposed to bacteria, vivid colors emerge. Great Prismatic Spring Lake is about 200 to 300 feet wide and about 160 feet deep. Every minute, the lake releases an average of 560 gallons of water with a temperature of about 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
The Moeraki Boulder Rocks are large, spherical rocks that line Koekohe Beach in New Zealand. Scientific research has concluded that the Moeraki rocks are a combination of alluvium, mud and clay. Today, images of these Moeraki rocks are often used in New Zealand tourism advertisements to attract visitors to the area.
Basalt is a volcanic rock that is formed when basalt lava erupts and is rapidly cooled. The rock formation process produces a variety of shapes, of which the basalt column is one of the most visually appealing structures. Millions of years ago, basalt columns existed only in the highlands. However, over time, the plateaus appeared faulted plates that facilitated this interesting rock formation.
Danxia geomorphology is a landform found in many places in the southwest, southeast and northwest regions of China. This is a type of terrain with a geomorphological landscape with a characteristic dark red or orange color band. This natural beauty is the large volume of sandstone and limestone rocks. Over millions of years, these rocks have been eroded by wind, rain, and sunlight. In addition, Dan Ha geomorphology also creates some spectacular natural structures such as ravines and columns, making this area an attractive attraction for Chinese tourists.
The mass migration of sardines is one of the most impressive mysterious phenomena. Every year between May and July billions of sardines migrate north, swimming along the east coast of South Africa. Of course, this is a good opportunity for sardines predators trying to get one or two big catches thanks to this migratory phenomenon. Although the number of fish participating in this migration is extremely surprising, scientists do not know much about this phenomenon.
The living rock is known scientifically as Pyura chilensis. It is in fact a marine animal without vertebrae and commonly found along the coasts of Peru and Chile. These living stones are shaped like an internal organ stuffed inside a rock. They cannot move on their own, so the main food source is microorganisms in seawater. These living rocks are all capable of filtering food out of seawater. Surprisingly, scientists still haven't figured it out, but this living rock has 10 million times more Vanadium (a very rare chemical element) than is found in water.
Lenticular clouds are one of the rare and common types of clouds that occur in the troposphere. When high-altitude moist air encounters an "obstacle" such as a mountain, the air condenses at the highest point of the obstacle and condenses into a cloud shaped like a lens. Because of the unique shape of clouds, they are often mistaken for unidentified flying objects (UFOs). Besides, the lens cloud also has many different colors. Purple and orange clouds often stand out especially against the sky and mountains. They are even perpendicular to the wind direction, so they often attract the attention of people around.
Mummifying Lake is located in the northern part of Tanzania and is known as Lake Natron. Called mummification lake because it is famous for its high salt concentration and relatively high water temperature. The animals living around the lake area often have to adapt to the relatively harsh climate here. When the creatures drop under the lake water as if they are soaking themselves in sea salt, this feeling is quite attractive but also extremely scary.
