List of natural phenomena
Weather, fog, thunder, tornadoes; biological processes, decomposition, germination; physical processes, wave propagation, erosion; tidal flow, moonbow, blood moon and natural disasters such as electromagnetic pulses, volcanic eruptions and earthquakes.[1][2]
Types of natural phenomena include:
Physical phenomena
Crystal in VCGS furnace
Nuclear and Electrical
- Elementary particle interactions
- Static electricity
- Neutrons

Children notice an effect of static electricity
Biological phenomena
[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.
- Metabolism
- Catabolism
- Anabolism
- Decomposition – by which organic substances are broken down into a much simpler form of matter
- Fermentation – converts sugar to acids, gases and/or alcohol.
- Growth
- Birth
- Death
- Population decrease
Geological phenomena
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 phenomena
Violent meteorological phenomena are called storms. Regular, cyclical phenomena include seasons and atmospheric circulation. climate change is often semi-regular.

Atmospheric optical phenomena
Oceanographic
Gulfstream
- Oceanographic phenomena include tsunamis, ocean currents and breaking waves.
gollark: I also want to do something about the requirement to add `run` somehow.
gollark: I'm going to rewrite the whole thing in PureScript first. Got to waste time *somehow*.
gollark: This is because in my thing partial application is not typed and due to reasons the `+` gets fed the partially-applied `y` as a value or whatever.
gollark: +Missing 2 valuesyMissing 1 values+Missing 2 values
gollark: `+ y` produces... interesting... results.
