Bouncy Grass and Other Cool Things To Stay Away From

English

By HighlightsPublished 2 years ago 3 min read

The grass is green and the sun is in the sky. Suddenly, you feel yourself sink and begin to panic. However, you bounce back up and continue testing your footing. The grass bounces with you like a trampoline, due to soil liquefaction. This phenomenon is caused by excessive water from Heavy Rain or floods becoming trapped in the soil. This makes the ground temporarily act like a giant water bed. While it may be tempting to run and bounce on the springy grass, it's best to tread carefully. The grass could potentially break open and if someone fell through it, it would be incredibly difficult for them to get back out again. An erupting volcano is already scary-looking, but with clouds of dark smoke and flowing molten hot lava, what's even worse is that volcanic lightning can also occur.scientists don't know for sure what causes volcanic lightning, but a common theory is that during an eruption, the ash picks up so much friction that it creates a buildup of static electricity. This static electricity then triggers Fire tornadoes occur when ground winds pick up flames and escalate them into a whirling force. These spinning columns of fire can reach up to one thousand feet tall, but luckily they only last for a couple of minutes. Fire tornadoes are pretty rare, but they can be very dangerous in Tokyo in 1923. A large city-wide fire produced a giant fire tornado that lasted 15 minutes and devastated the city. You might have been lucky enough to witness colorful beams of blue and orange light reaching up towards the sky - these are called Light Pillars. They occur when light is reflected from tiny ice crystals that float about in the atmosphere.These pillars are more common in cold Northern countries like Canada or Russia. We've all seen the colorful rainbow arches that the sun produces, but it's much rarer to see a moonbow. This is caused by Moonlight reflecting off water droplets in the sky. Moon bows are incredibly rare and can only occur in specific conditions - like when the moon is very low and the sky has clear weather. Reading a page's layout can distract a reader from its readable content. In contrast to using 'Content here, content here', Lorem Ipsum has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, making it seem like readable English. Lorem Ipsum is now used as the default model text in many desktop publishing packages and web page editors, and a search for lorem ipsum will reveal many still in their infancy websites. When looking at a lunar rainbow% you might come across the strange phenomenon of a bioluminescent Beach. This occurs when a microorganism in the water called Plankton are agitated by the movement of the waves and give off a bright blue color. These microorganisms tend to live in warmer Waters so you can find these luminescent beaches in places like the Maldives Puerto Rico and even Florida in Antarctica. You'll find the famous Blood Falls blood red colored water pours out of the tailored Glacier from an underground Lake. %Scientists originally believed that the Striking color was caused by a microorganism similar to the luminescent Beach's glowing Plankton but after further studies it was discovered that the water has abnormally high levels of iron that oxidize in turn to rust. The second they hit fresh air in colder climates where Lakes are Frozen all year round, you'll notice Frozen bubbles trapped in the ice. These are small pockets of methane gas bacteria in the water. Bacteria in the water feed on other organisms and digest them to produce methane, which turns into floating bubbles trapped in the frozen water.
