10 Rare natural phenomena that occur on Earth

There are many things on earth which are quite interesting. Look into this post for few of the rare and best natural phenomena that occur on earth.

10 Rare natural phenomena that occur on Earth... 

1. Geysers Before Eruption, Strokkur, Iceland- While erupting geysers are entrancing, far fewer people have ever seen the strange sight of a geyser moments before it errupts. Water gathers into a massive blister just minutes before the spring erupts, making it an extremely rare and strange sight.






2. Spotted Lake, Canada- As the water evaporates from this lake near Osoyoos, British Columbia, minerals are left behind in a strange lily pad pattern of circles, which make the lake look entirely foreign. Each circle is a different colour, because of the vast amount of minerals found in the lake.







3. Fields of Webs- Yes, those are thousands of spider webs. Fields like these ones in Australia are transformed when thousands upon thousands of spiders migrate across the land leaving behind vast and intricate webs. This usually only occurs when spiders are fleeing floodwaters.







4. Snow Chimney, Arctic Areas- Fumaroles are vents that allow steam from volcanoes to escape into the open. In arctic areas, as soon as steam leaves one of these vents, it freezes, and eventually, massive snow chimneys are formed around the volcanic vent.





5. Danxia Landforms, China- These colourful rock formations are the result of red sandstone and mineral deposits laid down over millions of years. Wind and rain then carved amazing shapes into the rock, forming natural pillars, towers, ravines, valleys, and waterfalls.




6. The Monarch Butterfly Migration, United States and Mexico- On their own, Monarch butterflies are a beautiful orange and black, but when they migrate in mass every year, they fill the sky with a swath of brilliance. When temperatures fall in October, millions of butterflies will travel up to 2,500 miles from North America towards Mexico, covering trees as they make their epic escape from winter.








7. Frozen Methane Bubbles- Methane bubbles form in water when dead organic matter falls to the bottom, much to the delight of bacteria. When methane gets trapped in frozen water, it produces scenes like these. Just don’t light a match when these bubbles are freed.







8. The Everlasting Storm, Venezuela- At the mouth of the Catatumbo River in Venezuela, a very unique mass of storm clouds swirls, creating the rare spectacle known as Catatumbo lightning. The storm occurs up to 160 nights a year, 10 hours per day, and 280 times an hour. These lightnings are also called “Catatumbo Lightning" and they generate a large amount of ozone to the atmosphere.





9. The Great Blue Hole, Belize- These massive underwater caves formed during past ice ages, when sea level was far lower than it is today and much of the seafloor was exposed to the elements. Blue holes were the target of erosion, which ended when they were once again submerged.




Last but not the least..

10. Green Flash Sunsets and Sunrises- This rare and elusive scene is a meteorological event that occurs for a few seconds only when the sun starts to dip below or rise above the horizon. Meteorological conditions have to be just right to allow light from the sun to bend in the atmosphere and appear briefly as a green flash.
