Thunderstorms generally form in regions where the atmosphere is unstable. An atmospheric disturbance, such as a meeting between a mass of cold air and a...
Frogs produce sounds using a process called vocalization. This mechanism relies on the activity of their vocal cords, located in the larynx. When air is...
When a rainbow forms, sunlight is refracted, meaning it changes direction when passing from one medium to another. When sunlight enters a water droplet, it...
Avalanches on steep and unstable slopes are a common phenomenon in the mountains. A steep slope promotes the movement of snow masses under the effect...
Fog forms when the air cools down and its ability to retain moisture decreases, leading to the condensation of water vapor into tiny droplets. Several...
Atmospheric perspective is an optical phenomenon resulting from the propagation of light through the Earth's atmosphere. This propagation of light is affected by the composition...
Dinosaurs, gigantic creatures that dominated the Earth for millions of years, underwent a massive extinction about 66 million years ago. This extinction, also known as...
When it rains, water droplets act as reflective surfaces for sound. When a sound wave encounters a raindrop, part of that wave is reflected in...
The air contains a certain amount of water vapor in the form of invisible gas. When the air temperature drops, this water vapor can condense...
Lightning strikes can cause significant power surges in electrical networks due to their power and intensity. When lightning strikes an electrical cable or infrastructure, it...
