You are looking at the most dangerous thing in nature
welcome back Charlie here we sometimes forget just how scary the world really is but i'm about to
remind you with these terrifying natural phenomena from volcano lightning to tornadoes made of fire
first we have to look at water spouts this natural phenomena occurs out in the ocean and sea when it
happens it really looks like the end of the world is upon us it almost doesn't look real but what's
actually going on here well these water spouts are actually tornadoes that form over water when this
happens it creates a water tornado now it may look kind of cool but if you ever see this you
should run fast these can be deadly and over the years have taken many lives they're also known for
downing helicopters and planes and even sinking large boats this makes waterspouts one of the
most deadly natural phenomena you've ever seen but the scary part is how common these actually are
most people who work at sea have seen one of these at some point luckily they often happen far out
into the ocean and away from people and vehicles but every now and then a pilot or a captain gets
unlucky and passes away there are actually two types of these water spouts fair weather water
spouts and tornadic water spouts fair weather waterspouts thankfully don't make it to land
meaning they're only dangerous to ships planes and swimmers but tornadic waterspouts are far more
scary these start as tornadoes and then turn into waterspouts as they go near water meaning that
they can sometimes go back on land when they go back onto land the water stays spinning in the air
this causes a massive amount of damage tornadic water spouts are basically 20 times heavier than
a normal tornado which is why some give them the nickname super tornadoes moving on we have to look
at landslides many people think they know what a landslide is but almost no one realizes just how
bad they actually are a landslide is basically a much worse avalanche it's where earth or debris
falls from a slope of land landslides are actually the deadliest and most expensive natural disasters
in the world they're normally caused by other natural phenomena for example rain volcanoes or
earthquakes if a landslide occurs near a building then that building will be destroyed every year
around 50 people pass away from landslides and that's in the usa alone they also cost around
3.5 billion dollars in damages in the usa alone each year also many people don't evacuate when one
of these is about to happen that's because they simply don't realize the danger they're actually
in the scary thing about landslides is they can happen anywhere in the world now we have to look
at volcano lightning what's scarier than volcanoes or lightning well put the two together and you get
volcano lightning but what is this rare and scary natural phenomena well when volcanoes
erupt they create a massive amount of energy an eruption creates a massive amount of smoke and ash
and these ash particles rub against each other creating friction this causes electrons to
transfer these positively charged particles then create balls of lightning so volcano lightning is
basically bolts of lightning shooting out of a volcano it may look awesome but it's also very
scary and very deadly if you were shocked by one of these you wouldn't just be electrocuted but
burned as well to make things even scarier volcano lightning is radioactive radioactive isotopes can
be found in volcanoes meaning that these electric charges are radioactive it's dangerous but many
volcano researchers go and seek these out they're a rare phenomena and look amazing they're also
somewhat mysterious as well we know how they're created but we don't know why that's because
they're too rare to research that much now we have to look at one of the most dangerous things
in nature this is a permafrost explosion a few years back massive holes in permafrost kept being
found for some time these hundred meter deep holes were very mysterious but later on farmers
and native people began hearing explosions in the area when they would go and seek out the sound
all they would find is a massive hole in the ice after some research it was found out that these
are what's known as permafrost explosions these are basically big methane holes in the ground
when these are naturally ignited somehow they explode creating gigantic craters in the ground
this can sometimes take the lives of animals and people deer and inuit people have been blown up by
these permafrost explosions and climate change is making these explosions more common rising
temperatures cause the methane to hydrate the gas builds up pressure and then the ground explodes
these can cause avalanches and crevasses to form and cause frozen over lakes to crack and break
permafrost explosions could have a real impact on icy areas in the future it seems like these
are getting more and more common which could lead to the destruction of communities of animals and
people and if these happened near oil fields it could cause a massive explosion one that would
be devastating for any nature or people nearby just think of a massive underground ice explosion
moving on we have to look at fire whirls you're not looking at leaked footage of hell on earth
no this is actually natural phenomena from right here on planet earth a fire whirl is basically
a whirlwind made of fire this can cause miles of damage the twist of hot air can spread fire
for miles around causing billions of dollars in damage and ending many lives these whirlwinds
cause gigantic wildfires and if they get big enough these firewalls turn into fire tornadoes
just imagine a tornado that shoots fireballs one of these took 38 000 people's lives in japan and
did so in just 15 minutes nature truly is the most formidable force on the planet and firewalls are
one of mother nature's most devastating weapons thankfully these are far less rare than wildfires
but they can still happen and with global warming they may be happening more often in the future
one of these firewalls actually happened a few years ago in california usa it got so big it
was nearly classed as a fire tornado these get insanely hot at around 2000 degrees fahrenheit
they can uproot trees and burn entire fields in seconds they're normally several feet wide
and are normally around 170 feet tall in 1871 an entire town was taken out by one of these that was
the town of williamson wisconsin taking the lives of thousands of people and destroying all of the
town's buildings moving on we have to look at the devil's sea you may think the most scary part of
the sea is the bermuda triangle but many would say that the devil sea or the dragon's triangle
is much worse the devil see is one of the most dangerous natural phenomenas on the planet it's a
vile vortice a vile vortice being a place where the earth's electromagnetic fields work in a
weird way this causes a massive amount of ships to sink and planes to be pulled out of the sky
the devil sea is found near the japanese coast in the pacific ocean over the years a massive number
of ships planes and helicopters have gone missing here likely pulled under the sea never to be seen
again now we have to look at grass bubbles we all know bubbles can form in water but did you know
they can also form underground take a look at this video it really looks like the ground is breathing
but really it's just water trapped underneath the grass these can occur both above ground
and underwater these bubbles can swell to massive sizes and be dangerous when they park
they can even lead to flooding these grass bubbles can even form underneath lakes and swell up so
much that the bubbles can be seen above the water finally we have to look at ice tsunamis
tsunamis are scary but a tsunami made of ice is even more dangerous ice is surprisingly strong and
dangerous after all i sank the titanic these walls of ice can sometimes form into tsunamis totally
destroying cars and houses and ending the lives of anyone standing in the way isunamis are caused
by very strong winds blowing icy waters global warming is causing big ice sheets to crack meaning
that aisun armies are becoming more and more common ice tsunamis can reach heights of up to 30
feet and cover miles of shoreline ice tsunamis are so strong that they can destroy buildings easily
some people don't realize the danger of these and go to look at them up close but over the years
some people have passed away from ice tsunamis so if one of these happens in your area then do not
go near it but then again these things can destroy houses so staying inside may not be so safe either
i guess aisun armies are a good reason to live in a hot country but now it's time for you to make
your voice heard comment below which natural phenomena was the scariest if you want to see
