List of natural phenomena

Types of natural phenomena include:

Weather, fog, thunder, tornadoes; biological processes, decomposition, germination; physical processes, wave propagation, erosion; tidal flow, and natural disasters such as electromagnetic pulses, volcanic eruptions, and earthquakes.^[1]^[2]

Physical phenomenaEdit

Nuclear and ElectricalEdit

Elementary particle interactions
Static electricity

Chemical phenomenaEdit

Oxidation
- Fire
- Rusting

Biological phenomenaEdit

[Decomposition]: a decaying peach over a period of six days. Each frame is approximately 12 hours apart, as the fruit shrivels and becomes covered with mold.

Decomposition – by which organic substances are broken down into a much simpler form of matter
Metabolism
- Catabolism
- Anabolism
- Fermentation – converts sugar to acids, gases and/or alcohol.
Growth
Population decrease
- Overpopulation growth beyond

Astronomical phenomenaEdit

Geological phenomenaEdit

Geology: parabola-shaped lava flow illustrates Galileo's law of falling bodies, as well as blackbody radiation. The temperature can be discerned from the color of the blackbody.

Geological processes include erosion, sedimentation, and volcanic activities such as geysers and earthquakes.

Meteorological phenomenaEdit

Violent meteorological phenomena are called storms. Regular, cyclical phenomena include seasons and atmospheric circulation. Climate change is often semi-regular.
