The world surrounding us nature just teems with differentmysteries and riddles. Scientists have been looking for answers for centuries and sometimes trying to explain inexplicable facts, but even the best minds of humanity still cannot resist some amazing phenomena of nature.
Sometimes it seems that incomprehensibleflashes in the sky, spontaneously moving stones do not mean anything special. But, delving into the mysterious manifestations observed on our planet, you understand that it is impossible to answer many questions. Nature carefully hides its secrets, and people put forward new hypotheses, trying to unravel them.
Today we will look at physical phenomena in nature that will make you take a fresh look at the world around us.
Physical phenomena
Each body consists of certain substances, butnote that different actions affect the same bodies differently. For example, when the paper is cut in half, the paper will remain paper. But if you set it on fire, then ash will remain from it.
When the size, shape, state, but the substance remains the same and does not transform into another, such phenomena are called physical. They may be different.
The phenomena of nature, examples of which we can observe in ordinary life, are:
- Mechanical. The movement of clouds across the sky, the flight of the plane, the fall of an apple.
- Thermal. Caused by temperature changes. In the course of this change the characteristics of the body. If you heat the ice, it will become water, which is transformed into steam.
- Electric. Surely with the rapid removal of a woolenclothes you ever heard a specific crash, similar to an electric discharge. And if you do all this in a dark room, you can still watch the sparks. Objects that, after friction, begin to attract lighter bodies, are called electrified. Northern lights, lightning during a thunderstorm are vivid examples of electrical phenomena.
- Light. Light emitting bodies are called light phenomena. This could include the Sun, lamps and even members of the animal world: some species of deep-sea fish and fireflies.
Physical phenomena of nature, examples of which wediscussed above, successfully used by people in everyday life. But there are those who still haunt the minds of scientists and cause universal admiration.
Northern Lights
Perhaps this natural phenomenon rightfully bears the status of the most romantic. High up in the sky, multicolored rivers form that cover an endless number of bright stars.
If you want to enjoy this beauty, it is betterjust do it in northern Finland (Lapland). It was believed that the cause of the Northern Lights - the wrath of the supreme gods. But the most popular was the legend of the Saami people about the fairytale fox, who hit its tail on the snow-covered plains, because of which colored sparks soared up and lit up the night sky.
Tube shaped clouds
Such a phenomenon of nature can any person for a long time to tighten into a state of relaxation, inspiration, illusions. Such sensations are created by the shape of large tubes that change their color.
You can see it in those places where a thunderstorm front begins to form. This phenomenon of nature is most often observed in countries with a tropical climate.
Stones that move in Death Valley
Встречаются различные явления природы, примеры which are quite understandable from a scientific point of view. But there are those who defy human logic. One of the mysteries of nature are moving stones. This phenomenon can be observed in the American National Park, called Death Valley. Many scientists are trying to explain the movement of strong winds, which are often found in desert areas, and the presence of ice, since it was in the winter that the movement of stones became more intense.
During the research, scientists observed 30 stones, the weight of which was no more than 25 kg. In seven years, 28 stone blocks out of 30 moved 200 meters from the starting point.
Whatever the guesses of scientists, they have no definite answer about this phenomenon.
Fireballs
Fireball appearing after a thunderstorm or duringits time is called ball lightning. There is an assumption that Nikola Tesla managed to create a ball lightning in his laboratory. He wrote that he did not see anything of the kind in nature (it was about fireballs), but he figured out how they are formed, and even managed to recreate this phenomenon.
Modern scholars could not achieve such results. And some even question the existence of this phenomenon as such.
Мы рассмотрели только некоторые явления природы, examples of which show how amazing and mysterious our world around us. How much more unknown and interesting we have to learn in the process of development and improvement of science. How many discoveries await us ahead?
