<br>Our world has some pretty neat things to offer, from explainable natural phenomenon to some that seem to have no explanation at all. Here we’ll take a look at some pretty crazy stuff that goes down on our planet, some proven, some that still rely only on supposed eyewitness testimony. Here we go, it’s time to look at some Crazy Natural Phenomenon.

5. Waterspouts
These are kind of like the fire whirls, only the complete opposite… ya know? These neat funnels appear over water and are intense columnar vortex’s that can be connected to one of three types of cloud: cumuliform, cumulus congestus, or a cumulonimbus. They’re known as a non-supercell tornado over water and are usually weaker than tornadoes over land. However, there are stronger versions that are spawned by mesocyclones. They’re mostly found in subtropical and tropical areas, but they have been reported in places like New Zealand, Australia, the Great Lakes, Antarctica, Europe, and even the Great Salt Lake. They’ve been known to be able to suck small animals like fish, frogs, and turtles up out of the water and into the cloud, then transport them over land and rain them down upon an unsuspecting population. Waterspouts are crazy, but I’d love to see one in my lifetime!





4. Mammatus Clouds
Do you want to know what the name of this cloud means? It means “mammary cloud,” like the mammary you’re thinking—Latin for “breast” or “udder.” That’s because of what they look like! They’re a bunch of pouch-looking clouds that hang beneath the base of a cloud and can be attached to all sorts of parent clouds but are typically seen riding along on cumulonimbus. They form from pockets of cold air that sinks down contrary to warm puffs of cloud rising through the convection of warm air. They’re typically associated with severe thunderstorms, so if you see them, take shelter! They often indicate that an unusually strong storm is coming, in some cases tornadic, and should be read as a warning. They are quite beautiful though, so I can see why you’d want to stay outside to take pictures. But just remember that I warned you and you better not come crying to me when you get sucked up by a tornado!




3. Halos
This crazy cool optical phenomenon occurs when ice crystals in t  he atmosphere and light interact with each other in just the right way. The halos can be either white or colored, and most of them occur around the Sun, Moon, or other light sources. There are lots of different kinds of halos, but some of the more famous include sun dogs, light pillars, and circular halos. Cirrus or cirrostratus clouds way up in the upper troposphere are typically the clouds that hold the ice crystals that are responsible for these spectacular formations. The orientation and shape of the crystals are what determine which type of halo will be observed. The crystals work much like mirrors and prisms and when light enters it is refracted and reflected, bounced around and sent out in particular directions. Some pretty neat stuff!





2. Earthquake Lights
This is a luminous aerial phenomenon that’s typically reported in the sky over areas near volcanic eruptions, seismic activity, or tectonic stress (as you can see in these pictures). Some reports state that the lights are seen before or after earthquakes, as well as during, but they’re mostly reported as showing up while the quake is happening. They can have a broad color spectrum but are usually reported as having a bluish or white hue and are shaped similarly to auroras. They're typically reported when the quakes have a magnitude of a five or higher on the Richter scale, and they’ve been spotted hundreds and hundreds of miles from the epicenter. Scientists aren’t precisely confident on what causes the lights, and many are skeptical that they even happen at all as there have been no “confirmed observations” of said lights. Some believe that lights or lightning near volcanoes could be related to dirty thunderstorms. Either way, the idea of strange lights showing up near eruptions or quake activity is pretty cool, almost like something out of a sci-fi movie, and I’ll just let you decide for yourself.
