10 Misleading Natural Phenomena Explained

🌱Floating grass is caused by soil liquefaction, where excess water in the soil makes it act like a trampoline.

🌋Volcanic lightning is generated by the friction created from ash during volcanic eruptions.

🔥Fire tornadoes occur when ground winds pick up flames and create whirling columns of fire.

🌈Moonbows are rare rainbow-like phenomena that occur when moonlight reflects off water droplets.

💡Bioluminescent beaches are created by microorganisms called plankton that emit a bright blue glow when agitated by waves.

What causes floating grass?

—Floating grass is caused by soil liquefaction, where excess water in the soil creates a trampoline-like effect.

How is volcanic lightning formed?

—Volcanic lightning is created from the friction caused by ash particles during volcanic eruptions.

What are fire tornadoes?

—Fire tornadoes are spinning columns of fire that occur when ground winds pick up flames and escalate the embers.

What are moonbows?

—Moonbows are rainbow-like phenomena that occur when moonlight reflects off water droplets in the sky.

What causes bioluminescent beaches?

—Bioluminescent beaches are created by agitated microorganisms called plankton that emit a bright blue glow.
