20 Examples of Natural Phenomena

The natural phenomena are all those that occur for natural reasons without the direct participation of man. For example: volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, earthquakes.

In in colloquial language, we normally speak of natural phenomena alluding to unusual events of high negative impact (from the perspective of man), that is, as synonymous from natural disasters.

Poor planning of cities, deforestation or the construction of megaworks Poorly planned engineering (reservoirs, dikes) can be associated with the occurrence of natural disasters.

The rains, the winds or the tidal rises they can turn into terrible natural disasters if they reach an exaggerated dimension. Worse, these often occur unexpectedly, magnifying their impact.

Natural phenomena also govern the biological cycle of plants Y animals. For ex. migration of birds when changing the weather season in search of temperatures more favorable, or the arrival of whales near the coast at certain times of the year, or the spawning of fish in certain sectors of the river.

Likewise, daylight hours and temperatures govern flowering, the fruits and their maturation in numerous plant species. The phenomena just named are habitual and necessary for the harmony of the ecosystem.

Natural disasters

Some natural phenomena, such as earthquakes or tidal waves, generate, on the contrary, a violent change in the ecosystem, and it often happens that it takes many years for the situation to return to its original equilibrium.

For humans, these events can turn into terrible tragedies. We all remember the losses materials and human lives that brought together some natural phenomena that occurred in recent years, such as:
