* Physical processes: Weather patterns, geological formations, the movement of celestial bodies, the life cycle of plants and animals.
* Biological processes: Animal migration, plant growth, disease outbreaks, natural selection.
* Chemical reactions: The formation of minerals, the decomposition of organic matter, the burning of fossil fuels.
* Cosmic events: Supernovas, solar flares, meteor showers.
Key features of natural phenomena:
* Occur naturally: They happen without human intervention.
* Can be observed and studied: They are real events that can be investigated and understood using scientific methods.
* Can be predictable or unpredictable: Some natural phenomena are regular and predictable, while others are chaotic and difficult to forecast.
* Can be beneficial or harmful: Natural phenomena can have both positive and negative impacts on the environment and human life.
Examples of natural phenomena:
* Rain
* Earthquakes
* Hurricanes
* Volcanic eruptions
* Aurora Borealis
* Animal migration
* Plant growth
Understanding natural phenomena is crucial for our safety, well-being, and understanding the Earth's systems.
