What are the strange natural phenomena in nature?

Northern lights, mammary clouds, red tides, whale falls, and fire tornadoes.

1. Northern Lights

Since people discovered the phenomenon of Northern Lights, they have been deeply attracted by the mystery and beauty of the phenomenon. Normally, the Northern Lights occur when the sun releases high-energy charged particles, which are released from space at speeds of 300-1,200 kilometers per second. The cloud-like structure formed by these charged particles is called a plasma region.

2. Breast cloud

Breast cloud, also known as breast cumulus, is a cloud with many sagging bags at the bottom. They are composed primarily of ice, which can extend for hundreds of miles in any direction. However, some breast cloud structures can remain stationary for 10-15 minutes. Whenever clouds appear on the breast, it heralds the coming of bad weather. It is often a precursor to storms or other severe weather.

3. Red tide

Red tide is the rapid accumulation of algae in estuaries, oceans or freshwater waters, covering the entire sea area or beach, turning the sea water red. This phenomenon is due to the formation of dense, visible swarms of phytoplankton on the surface of the water.

While some phytoplankton are harmless, others are highly toxic and can kill fish, birds and marine mammals. In some cases, even humans can be harmed by red tide, although no deaths have been recorded.

4. Whale fall

The phenomenon of whales sinking into the sea after death is called whale fall. When a whale dies in the ocean, its body eventually sinks to the bottom of the ocean. Biologists have a name for this process: whale fall. Whale carcasses can support the circulatory system of decomposers for hundreds of years.

5. Fire tornado

Fire tornado, also known as fire monster or fire whirlwind, is a rare phenomenon of flames under certain special conditions. It is usually mainly affected by mild temperatures. The influence of airflow forms vertical vortices or vertical radial rotating columns similar to a tornado effect. Typically, fire tornadoes occur during bush fires. Vertical vortices are formed under specific airflow and temperature conditions.

A fire tornado can be 30 to 200 feet tall and 10 feet in diameter, but lasts only a few minutes. If the winds are strong, the fire tornado may last longer.
