5 strange natural phenomena on earth

1. Mystery of Death Valley: Sailing stones

Sailing stone also known as sliding rocks, rolling stones locates in Death Valley national park. At this place heavy rocks are move across the dried lake which known as Racetrack Park. Apparent movement of rock has blamed on everything from space aliens.

Mystery is that no one has actually seen the movement of rocks. Some people say that might the rocks are move due to dust devil but some of weight as 700 lbs. But researcher believed that rocks are move due strong wind that frequently whips across the vast lake bed. 

Still no one find the actual reason behind how the rocks are move. In some cases the rocks movement were measured to be 250 meters.

Scientist have tries to solve the puzzle of the sailing stones of decades. In one research is found that under some condition in Death Valley, water and ice could from to float the rocks across the muddy bottom of Racetrack Playa in a light breeze, leaving a trail the mud as the rocks moved.

2. Aurora Lights

If you want to see bright greenish white band of light on then you should travel on Alaska, Canada or the Northern United states. Normally you can see white band of light in clear dark light on sky at these places.

People say these kinds of light occur near to the South Pole and because of that reason this phenomena is also called Southern Light.

You may watch the Auroral band continue to brighten as it moves towards the south in lucky night. Then after some time you may watch the band of light break into many bands of light, in these some of them will move back overhead and to the north, dancing rapidly and change different color like red, purple and white.

3. Sun Dogs

Sun dogs are atmospheric phenomena that consist of a pair of bright spots on either side of sun horizontally at equal distance. It is part of a large family of halos which created by light ice crystal in the atmosphere.

Ice halos are arc of light and rings of light that produce in the sky when sunlight shines through ice crystal in the air, and the best example of it is rainbow. Like that moon dogs also appear along both side of moon formed due to lunar light passing through ice crystal.

Generally moon dogs are not observed as often as sundogs because they are visible when the moon is bright and because they appear during the night.

Sundogs are formed in very cold weather by ice crystal, it drifting in air at level. These crystals act as prisms to the light. When light passing through it, then sunlight refracting horizontal so that sundogs are observed.

4. Earthquake Light

You may notice when earthquake came, then lightning would happened. Now scientist may have discovered surrounding faults in earth may generate an electric charge. The phenomena of flashing light is called earthquake light.

Recently in one research is found that earthquake light seem to happen at rifts where piece of earth are pulling apart from each other.

Natural light’s produce due to buildup of electric charge in clouds. Now scientist did some experiment and they said earthquake light originate from buildup of electric charge in the ground surrou nding geological faults.

5. Zhangye Danxia National Geological park: Red rocks and Rainbow Ridges

Zhangye Danxia National Geological park is located in Sunan and Linze counties within the prefecture level city of Zhangye with 332 square kilometer. Zhangye was mapped between 1920 and 1930 in Chinese maps and remained outside of the region.

Zhangye Danxia landscape has lots of sharp red rocks and some of them are several hundred meters high. Multicolored ridges of weathered level stretching to the horizon and these formation sometime sharp and smooth or look grand and magnificent.

 Zhangye national park is formed by the cutting of red sandstones and formed isolated peaks by deposit lot of minerals on top of one other. It gives special feeling to you by is geological structure with long term desert condition and wind and water cut give rise to its present appearance.
