Hello profilers!
I’m QUISHA, your companion on the journey of world discovery
Nature is always something mysterious.
Sometimes, it’s fierce and brutal with unbeatable power.
However, it is also beautiful, magnificent, and radiant.
A lot of natural phenomena happen that few people could know about the cause, tube-shaped
clouds, Snow volcano or more absurd is 'The self-moving rock', will all be listed in the video:
10 strangest natural phenomena
Make sure to watch the whole video because the
number 1 will be the strangest and rarest phenomena.
Number 10: Tube-shaped clouds
On March 16, 2018, the World Meteorological
Organization officially listed the tube-shaped clouds as a source of acquaintance with the
spectacular world of clouds.
This image was taken by 52-year-old photographer Curtis Christensen in New Orleans while working.
He posted the picture online.
Surprisingly, it received so many comments.
Everyone was extremely surprised by this phenomenon.
According to the Telegraph, tube-shaped clouds often appear before storms.
The movement of the storm causes the humid air.
The higher it is, the lower temperature is that cools down the steam which then condenses
into tiny particles.
If the process takes place near a hot air mass, the surface of the cold mass will be
overlapped by hot air and a tube-shaped cloud might be formed.
Due to the impact of the hot air mass, the humidity and temperature of the surrounding
air area increases rapidly, causing strong winds.
The wind moved forward while spinning along the horizontal axis of the cloud.
We may mistake the tubular cloud for a horizontal tornado seeing from afar.
Number 9: Brinicle
Brinicle, also known as the ice finger of
death for its deadly beauty.
Brinicle was first discovered in the 1960s.
But it was not until 2011 that people could record the formation of this phenomenon.
Brinicle looks like an underwater crystal.
It is a freezing icicle formed from the surface of the water and pierce to the bottom, sweeping
the sea floor for a square kilometer.
The brinicle does not break the texture and the cold no matter how high or low it goes
through the water.
Because of the low temperatures required for this phenomenon to form, they occur only in
the waters around the southern and northern poles.
The victims of brinice are usually small and slow sea creatures like porcupines and starfish.
Animals with large bodies like seals are not affected, even they have the ability to destroy
these icicles.
Some scientists think that life on Earth may be derived from this phenomenon itself.
If that's true, this could be a huge leap forward for life on far-off planets.
Number 8: Self-moving stones
Death Valley is a long, narrow valley in the
eastern region of the Mojave Desert, California.
This is also the region with the lowest terrain, the driest and hottest climate in North America.
The most outstanding thing here is a large, dry lake with rocks that weigh up to 320kg,
they are able to move and leave behind them long trails on the cracked ground.
Many theories have been put forward to explain the movement of the rocks due to the influence
of magnetic fields, whirlwinds, layers of algae, thin ice or even the intervention of
extraterrestrials creatures.
But in the end, the phenomenon of moving stones in the area of the dead valley remains a mystery
that has not been solved for many years.
And now is the most interesting part of the video.
Here it comes “We ask, you answer” Do you know if this is a natural phenomenon?

Number 7: Bloody falls, Antarctica
First discovered in 1911 'Blood Waterfall' used to be a mysterious
place, located in the dry valley of McMurdo in Antarctica
The highlight of this waterfall is that it is very cold, super salty and blood red.
Scientists believe that red is caused by an algae.
But recent research shows that the amount of iron underground in saltwater lakes was
encroached by glaciers 1.5 million years ago.
The average water temperature is -17 degrees Celsius, the salinity is 2-3 times higher
than ordinary seawater so it cannot freeze.
Because of the complex network of underground rivers and underground lakes.
They are all filled with iron-rich high brine, bringing the water a special red color.
In the summer, when the Antarctic temperature
warms up, the water of the lake rises.
That is also the reason why we see strange 'Waterfall of blood' flowing.
When analyzing the sample of water, the scientists discovered that inside the water sample, there
is a living ecosystem of bacteria since the last millennia under extreme conditions with
extremely low temperatures.
Sunlight cannot penetrate the multi-layered ice of the Taylor Glacier.
Only iron and sulfur are the basic energies that feed the ancient bacteria that have existed
for millions of years.
The existence of the Blood Waterfall ecosystem shows that life can survive in the most severe
conditions on earth.
Many intriguing secrets related to the Blood
Falls are still inaccessible under the ice lake.
Number 6: Snow roller
This phenomenon is extremely rare in North
America and Northern Europe, where has the convergence of conditions such as slope, humidity
of snow and wind, all are strong enough to make this 'ice cream roll'.
Snow rolls are cylindrical and hollow inside.
The inner layer of the snow roller is the first layer formed, which is more fragile,
weaker than the outer layer, so the wind easily blows.
The size of a snow roller can be up to 60cm in diameter.
Once formed, the snow rolls are large and heavy.
The snow roll also melts when there is a slight change in temperature or wind.
The snow rollers form on an empty, flat or slightly sloping area, the surface is covered
with a smooth layer of ice or hard snow.
Snow will fall or pile on the ground.
Strong winds will accelerate into the snow and roll it little by little.
This phenomenon is not only rare but also very fragile.
If temperature rises or falls, they will collapse.
How weak!
Number 5: River meets the sea
The images of a river meeting the sea were
taken in Mississippi.
It’s where the Mississippi River meets the Gulf of Mexico, creating a wonderful scene.
According to many experts, this phenomenon can occur in every ocean in the world but
rarely this is the prettiest separation of all.
The cause of this phenomenon is due to the difference in salinity.
The sea water is saltier, making 2 different waters that can’t be mixed into each other.
Instead, the salt water will flow below the fresh water source.
It's beautiful!
I wish I could set my foot on the place once!
Number 4: Snow vocalno
Continue with a phenomenon in the coldest
places on the planet Have you ever seen a unique scene like this?
This is a volcanic eruption on the ice satellites of celestial bodies, and can also occur on
some other low temperature objects.
This strange weather phenomenon takes place in North America.
Every when a wind arises, the water hits the shore and the ice gets thickened.
Of course, nothing is perfect.
Every ice has some cracks.
The waves keep lapping under the ice and created enough force to erupt through the cracks.
If one day the snow is thick enough to cover those holes, you will have a chance to admire
the spectacular view of snow erupting that dyes the space white.
Snow volcanoes often occur in arcs along coasts and often come in pairs.
However, sometimes there is just a snow volcano standing alone.
Number 3: Light pillar
An atmospheric optical phenomenon in which
a vertical beam of light appears to extend above and/or below a light source.
This effect is created by the reflection of light from countless small ice crystals suspended
in the atmosphere or clouds Light can come from the sun in which the strange
phenomenon is called the solar pillar.
It can also come from the moon or from ground sources like streetlights.
Because they are caused by the interaction of light with ice crystals, the pillar of
light is also one of the aura phenomena.
The crystals responsible for light pillars often consist of flat, hexagonal plates, which
more or less tend to orient themselves horizontally as they fall through the air.
Their crystal surfaces generate as giant mirrors that reflect light sources up or down, into
a virtual image.
In very cold weather, ice crystals can hang near the ground, in which case they are called
diamond dust.
Number 2: Whirlpool of death
And this is exactly the answer for the section
“We ask, you answer” Whirlpool of death.
This is a strange phenomenon related to fluid dynamics.
However, researchers still do not fully understand the causes and mechanisms of forming pairs
of hundred-of-kilometer whirlpools in diameter in the middle of the ocean.
All are hypotheses.
Accordingly, the vast vortex between the oceans is a very popular sea vortex flow.
The scientists observed that the whirlpools can combine into pairs that move in a rotating,
spiraling, and opposing way.
This means they also suck and 'trap' water in the same way that black holes swallow light.
These gigantic ocean vortices are surrounded by swirling currents, which are so dense that
nothing can escape once being sucked in.
Statistics show that such 'black holes' appear more and more in the South Atlantic Ocean,
increasing the circulation of salt and warm water to the north
Number 1: Ball lightning Lightning that we often see is the discharge
caused by an imbalance of negative and positive charges in thunderclouds, or between cloud
and ground Ball lightning are glowing spheres in the
atmosphere that are often mistaken for UFO.
They can explode, hurt people and destroy electrical systems.
This phenomenon resembles a ball of light floating in the air.
It ranges in size from golf balls to soccer balls, generating no heat and sound.
In 2012, scientific researchers recorded high-speed video of lightning and snapped some shots
of its emission spectra for the first time.
The analysis results show that the ball lightning
is created by minerals evaporating from the soil.
However, such a single observation could not explain the whole cause of the phenomenon.
Hope these knowledges help you somehow.
