Our amazing planet is mysterious and extraordinary. It is full of unique phenomena and mysteries. Every day nature pleases us with beautiful sunsets, autumn cobwebs, and a starry sky. Someone enjoys the morning dew, others breathe the frosty air while admiring the white canvas of hoarfrost. But often nature amazes and makes admire such phenomena that literally fascinate or, conversely, induce terrible fear.

You can observe various natural phenomena in different places on Earth. For example, aurora can be seen in the Northern Hemisphere. For the first time the northern lights saw the Scandinavian peoples, deciding that this is a manifestation of the wrath of the gods. In fact, the aurora has an electrical origin. Millions of charged particles collide in air molecules thereby forming a glow. Thanks to oxygen, light is reflected in yellow, green, red. Blue and purple are formed with nitrogen.

Rainbow is the most joyful and amazing phenomenon of nature. A rainbow can be observed immediately after a rain, in the form of reflection of sunlight in water droplets that remain in the air after a rain. The light is refracted and gives us seven colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue, purple. Rainbow is also double.

The inhabitants of the earth very often can observe an amazing cosmic phenomenon - star rain or stargazing. If you look at the sky, we will see a lot of luminous points that fly from top to bottom towards our planet. During the flight, these points, like her small stars, leave behind a trail of luminous stripes. They do not reach the earth, and burn in the atmosphere in the form of a bright flash. In fact, as scientists explain, falling bodies are not stars, they are meteors. Meteor rain is formed annually during the collision of the Earth with the cosmic flow of meteor particles.

Blue and violet colors are produced with the help of nitrogen.

Rainbow is the most joyful and amazing phenomenon of nature. A rainbow can be observed immediately after a rain, in the form of reflection of sunlight in water droplets that remain in the air after the rain. Light is refracted and gives us seven colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet. Rainbows can also be double.

The inhabitants of the earth can often observe amazing cosmic phenomenon - star Rain or starfall. If we look at the sky, we will see many luminous points that fly from top to bottom towards our planet. During their flight, these dots, similar to small stars, leave a trail of luminous streaks behind them. They do not reach the ground and burn up in the atmosphere in the form of a bright flash. In fact, as scientists explain, falling bodies are not stars, they are meteors. A meteor shower is formed annually during the collision of the Earth with a cosmic stream of meteor particles.

Mother Nature can act rather scary sometimes. Almost every day TV channels, radio and newspapers report on natural disasters striking different parts of the world. Scientists say that earthquakes, tornados, floods, droughts, tsunamis, landslides and hurricanes are happening more frequently nowadays. Global warming, pollution and growing industrialization lead to imbalance in our echo-system.

A natural disaster can be defined as an uncontrollable extreme disruption which causes ecological and financial damage and victims of vulnerable population. Sometimes the events can be predicted by special meteorological warning systems and they often happen in the same geographical area because they are related to climate and physical characteristics of the region. For example, Florida is constantly suffering from tornadoes and hurricanes, and Japan – from earthquakes.

An earthquake happens when tectonic plates of the earth move and they make the area shake violently. According to the Richter scale the magnitude of earthquakes is measured from 1 to 10 points. The most powerful earthquake was recorded in 1960 in Chile, its magnitude was 9.5.

Volcanic eruptions occur when hot red magma eruptions from the earth's crust and flows from the top of the volcano. It also throws volcano ashes into the air which are harmful to inhale for human beings and animals.

A tsunami is a series of dangerous huge ocean waves, usually caused by underwater earthquakes. This natural disaster attacks the shore all of a sudden and often results in thousands of deaths. The height of the waves can reach 30 meters.

Flooding is another natural disaster. Floods happen when the water level in rivers and seas becomes too high. Sometimes flash floods can even wash away whole villages.

During extremely hot dry summers our world usually suffers from vast forest fires and severe droughts. Wildfires are especially dangerous in windy weather when they spread very easily. Droughts may result in famine because the land becomes dry and people can’t grow any plants and vegetables on it.

A tornado is an enormous column of twisting wind that moves very fast and destroys houses, raises in the air and throws people, animals and heavy things. Hurricanes and tornados are very common in America and the Atlantic Ocean.

Landslides happen when earth and rocks on slopes become loose or water-laden and they fall down the hills or mountains.

People face great problems after disasters: the water is usually infected, the communication lines (electricity, telephone) are often damaged, most of the buildings and property are destroyed, agricultural crops are also damaged. Natural disasters are great tragedies to many countries and nations. They take a lot of people’s lives. Thousands of people become homeless, unemployed. They need medical and psychological help.

Mother Nature can be quite terrifying at times. Almost every day, television channels, radio and newspapers report on natural disasters affecting various parts of the world. Scientists say earthquakes, tornadoes, floods, droughts, tsunamis, landslides and hurricanes are occurring much more frequently today. Global warming, environmental pollution and developed industry lead to an imbalance in our eco-system.

A natural disaster can be defined as an uncontrollable extreme destruction that results in environmental and financial damage and casualties of vulnerable populations. Sometimes events can be predicted using special weather warning systems, and often they occur in the same geographic area because they are related to the climatic and physical characteristics of the region.

Volcanic eruptions occur when hot red magma erupts from the Earth's crust and flows out from the top of a volcano. It also releases volcanic ash into the air, which is harmful to the breathing of humans and animals.

A tsunami is a series of dangerous giant ocean waves, usually caused by underground earthquakes. This natural disaster attacks the coast unexpectedly and often results in thousands of deaths. The height of the waves can reach 30 meters.

Flooding is another natural disaster. Floods happen when water levels in rivers and seas become too high. Sometimes flash floods can wash away entire villages.

During abnormally hot, dry summers, our world is typically subject to widespread wildfires and severe droughts. Forest fires are especially dangerous in windy weather and spread very easily. Droughts can lead to famine as the land becomes dry and people cannot grow any plants or vegetables on it.

A tornado is a huge column of vortex wind that moves very quickly and destroys houses, lifting people, animals and heavy objects into the air and throwing them down. Hurricanes and tornadoes are common in America and the Atlantic Ocean.
