지구촌의 놀라운 현상들

 

 

 

1. on one of the beaches in New Zealand, near the village of Moreaki, were found in a huge spherical stones.

The unusual shape and size of the stones that so called "moreakami", as the Magnet attracts tourists.

Two-thirds of the stones have a diameter of 1.5 to 2.2 meters and the largest is 3 meters.

 

2. Stones "Moreaki" consist mainly of mud, silt and clay, which have frozen in porodoobrazuûŝem kal′cite.

According to legend, the kružaŝej among the locals, is the remnant of pumpkins and sweet potatoes, that the sea won the beach from a sinking canoe

of the ancestors of the indigenous inhabitants of these lands.

 

3. Okologorizontal′naâ arc or fire Rainbow is a unique optical phenomenon, which is a horizontal rainbow.

 It appears in the sky when the Sun's rays Pierce through ice crystals in Cirrus clouds.

When the angle of the sun above the horizon should be more than 58 degrees. Refraction of light in such conditions makes the colors

okologorizontal′noj arc is cleaner than the usual color of the Rainbow

4. Fire Rainbow usually appears low on the horizon.

 Color of the arc can be seen mainly in mid-latitudes from May to August, a total of about 200 hours per year

 

5. vertical beams of light or illuminated columns, going straight into the sky, look like something unearthly.

 This phenomenon occurs when light reflects off almost vertically falling ice crystals.

 Typically, these beams of light can be observed when the Sun is low on the horizon — just after sunrise or before sunset

 

6. The shimmering blue waves can be seen very rarely and only in a few places in the world.

Fluorescent glow of water occurs because living organisms it is plankton and algae.

 In the light of day they look quite an ordinary, rather reminiscent of a brown spot on the water.

And at night as a result of biochemical processes occurring in them, begins a spectacular glow, from which it is impossible to tear your eyes

7. It is a beautiful and fascinating phenomenon that can be seen mainly in warm seas, where plankton and algae, possessing fluorescent properties.

On the photo you see as its author "bombardiroval" plankton stones and were such beautiful glowing "explosions".

 

8. these frozen bubbles resembling Champagne bubbles, very beautiful, but very dangerous.

 You can meet them at Lake Abraham in Canada, smokers, however we do not recommend to go there, because inside the bubbles do not contain air

and fuel gas is methane. If pierce the bubble near the fire, it explodes, throwing up the flame

9. Do you know where the bubbles appeared methane? This is due to ... bacteria. When the fallen leaves and dead animals sink to the bottom of the Lake, they feed on bacteria, while stressing the methane. And when in contact with the frozen water, methane is collected in white pouches beneath the ice

 

10. Monarch butterflies are known for their massive migrations: hundreds of thousands of these insects from North America flock to the South, overcoming great distances to winter there. Scientists estimate the overwintering in Mexico if you arrive around 14 million individuals of this species

 

11. forests, which arrive on wintering monarch butterflies, from an abundance of these creatures change colour from green to orange. In some parts of

Mexico butterflies occupy up to 8 hectares. It happened that under the weight of thousands of butterflies, snapped tree branches.

 

12. the phenomenon that you see in this picture occurs when a tidal wave faces with water from a river or Bay, the current in the opposite direction.

This occurs in those places where the difference between the water level before and after high tide is more than 6 metres. In Europe the phenomenon

can be observed in the uk and in France

13. Such a thunderstorm freaked out and Zeus. This unusual phenomenon occurs only in Venezuela is in a place where the Catatumbo River flows into

Lake Maracaibo. Such thunderstorms are not uncommon: formed from 140 to 160 times a year and can last up to 10 hours. For only one hour in the sky

 appears about 280 lightning, which reach a length of 2 to 10 kilometers, and even more. It is believed that Groza Venezuela is the world's largest

generator of ozone.

 A Flash of lightning is visible from a distance of hundreds of kilometers, so the phenomenon has been dubbed "lighthouse of Maracaibo

 14. for many years, scientists are trying to determine the cause of the formation of these unusual "magic circles" in the Namib desert in Southwest Africa. The diameter of the circles can go from 2 to 15 meters. Desert Aboriginal people believe that it is gods leave traces, treading on ground.

According to scientists, the most likely cause of magic circles in the desert is a vital activity of termites that eat grass roots, and just like her "eat away".
