[Music] want to see more cool videos on our channel we do so press this Bell and enable to send notifications nature can be unbelievably powerful a major earthquake can topple huge buildings and bring down entire mountain signs at Niagara Falls more than 500,000 gallons of water crashed down 18 stories into the Niagara River every second enough to fill nearly 50 Olympic sized swimming pools in a minute and everyone knows about hurricanes blizzards avalanches forest fires floods tidal waves bird tracks and even thunderstorms but if you thought Mother Nature didn't have many surprises up her sleeve think again Nature has a load of other powers that while less known can only be described as well freaky number 10 cocooned trees in 2010 10 years worth of rainfall poured onto Pakistani cities and villages in less than a week completely ravaging the affected areas an unexpected side effect of the flooding in parts of Pakistan has been that millions of spiders climbed up into the trees to escape the rising floodwaters because of the scale of the flooding and the fact that the water has taken so long to recede many trees have become cocooned in spider's webs spiders have built massive webs on trees turning them into ghostly cocoons such a phenomenon has never been seen before on the flipside the people in Sindh have reported fewer mosquitoes than they would have expected given the amount of stagnant water in the area it has thought the mosquitoes are getting caught in the spider's webs reducing their numbers and the associated risk of malaria number 9 fire tornado in August of 2018 car fire the largest of 17 major wildfires burning across California jumped the Sacramento River and began burning in the city of reading as residents evacuated a scene out of a disaster movie unfolded a massive tornado of smoke and fire expanded in size reaching up to 18,000 feet high as it moved through parts of Redding for almost an hour blowing at nearly tornado strength speed so what exactly is going on in the apocalyptic scene and what is a firenado fire tornadoes or fire NATO's truly look like the doors of Hell have opened up as hot air rises from the ground it swirls and turns and then dissipates as the altitude rises this creates a bathtub drain sort of effect as the air rises it picks up burning embers flammable debris hot cases and ash reaching almost 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit while they only last a few minutes they are extremely dangerous and move quickly thus creating a path of destruction in a matter of minutes number eight horse tail Falls from December to April in Yosemite National Park Chile water from melting Mountain snow streams toward the eastern edge of El Capitan and forms what's known as Horsetail Falls the cascade is predictably picturesque within the Greater grandeur of one of the country's most stunning national parks one day of the year this magnificent waterfall is hit by a ray of sunlight that hits that spot on earth at just the right angle to make it appear as though gold is falling rather than water the annual Firefall effect as it is called draws nature fiends and photographers from around the globe into the cold for an opportunity to glimpse the mesmerizing red orange glow the firefall phenomenon generally lasts seven to ten days in late February but the show is never guaranteed it's a sight to behold and has only been captured by those lucky enough to visit Yosemite and time their cameras perfectly number seven the Black Sun during the winter spring and autumn in places like the United Kingdom and Denmark thousands of starlings gather they move between their winter grounds and their summer breeding grounds and the phenomena takes place just hours after sunset these thousands of birds come together and fly as one unit as they look for a place to roost if a predatory bird comes around the starlings will vomit and poop on the predator until it can't stay airborne anymore while the starlings are flying together they look like a black mass dancing in the sky number six hole-punch clouds you're probably familiar with contrails the wispy strands of clouds made by jet exhaust high in the sky but if you've ever seen a hole-punch cloud sometimes called a fall streaked hole you'll be surprised by their strange appearance they look like strange clearings in an auto cumulus cloud layer often circular patches of clear sky surrounded by clouds sometimes people report them as UFOs airplanes create hole-punch clouds but just how do they do it they're caused by areas in the clouds where the water has dropped below freezing but hasn't yet frozen into ice crystals this water is said to be in a supercooled state the reason it hasn't frozen is a lack of ice nuclei tiny particles onto which ice crystals can begin to form but once just one ice crystal forms a domino effect called the Bergeron process takes place and all of the supercooled droplets freeze quickly these ice crystals then fall creating the wispy part of the false tree coal but they aren't able to fall very far they melt and evaporate quite quickly number five Haier ice if you were strolling in the forest on a cold winter's morning you might mistake it for some kind of strange Arctic animal but these rare delicate strands of white hair sprouting from rotting branches are actually I strands it grows on the rotting branches of certain trees when the conditions are just right usually during a humid winter night when the temperature drops below zero degrees Celsius 32 degrees Fahrenheit but exactly what forms these delicate structures has eluded scientists for decades until researchers discovered that the fungus Exedy OPS's if fusa facilitates its growth in 1918 Alfred Wegener studied hair ice after noticing a white substance resembling a cobweb coating on the wood upon which hair ice was found his assistant identified it as fungus mycelium the mass of thin threads from where mushrooms grow and suggested some unknown relation between the ice and the fungus number 4 lenticular clouds watching the clouds float in over the mountaintops is an incredible experience that makes you realize just how massive and vast the summit can be it's humbling in a sense and sometimes even the clouds bent to suit the will of a mountain peak these are called lenticular clouds and they throw off the appearance of a cloud dome hovering over the summit of a mountain these clouds can appear any way and occasionally have a pancake or tube shaped appearance but are usually formed when air rises up and condenses alternately they can be a product of wind shear from a weather front the strangest thing is that they're stationary which gives them the hat effect number three super cells have you ever looked at the sky on a May or June day and seen a very tall storm cloud that has an anvil that stretches as far east as you can see if so chances are you have probably seen a supercell thunderstorm supercells are rotating updrafts within severe thunderstorms they're big and bloody scary they can appear anywhere in the world given the right meteorological conditions but most of the time they appear in the great plains of the US last generally two to three hours and they sometimes split in two with the two resulting storms going in opposite directions the super cells usually produce huge amounts of hail torrential rainfall strong winds and substantial downbursts and they are often carriers of giant hail there are a whole lot of technical details left to be said but I'm not gonna stress scientists have given quite an interest in super cells because as you could have already guessed from the images they're really dangerous really number two freak waves imagine you're on an ocean liner when a wall of water ten stories tall races toward you like an unstoppable freight train it's not a tsunami caused by an undersea earthquake tsunamis are tiny in the open ocean and become enormous and deadly as they approach the shore no what you're witnessing at sea is a rogue wave also called a freak wave scientists aren't sure what causes these waves but they do know that they can appear without any warning in the open sea even in the clearest of weather as recently as 15 years ago these waves were thought to be a myth but scientists now know that they are very real and very dangerous to even the largest ships number one frost flowers seemingly straight from Disney's hit film frozen which fabulously showcases the natural beauty of winter and reminds us all why it should be our favorite season frost flowers are one of the most delicate and intricate looking natural ice formations these flowers aren't actually clinging to any type of vegetation and are formed from an array of crystalline frost spikes that appear when warm water vapor emerges from thin surfaces of ice and hits cold air to form frost flowers usually need calm relatively windless conditions and a temperature difference of 15 degrees Celsius between the atmosphere and the ice surface these specific conditions mean that frost flowers are typically found in polar regions though they were spotted last year near Salmon Arm British Columbia and usually only occur within the first few days of ice coverage thank you so much for watching and if you enjoy the video please let me know by clicking the like button do share
