Natural phenomena make the scientific world headache

Bloodfalls in Antarctica, dirty lightning storms, walking rocks are natural phenomena that make scientists take years to find the source.

Blood waterfall in Antarctica

The phenomenon of blood flow is red blood flowing from Taylor Glacier glacier discovered by geologist Griffith Taylor in 1911. It takes more than a century of research, scientists find out the origin of this "blood waterfall" . The red water flow contains a lot of iron oxide, which flows from a saltwater lake deep beneath the ice.

Dirty lightning storm

Dirty lightning storms appear in large volcanic eruptions. Normal lightning occurs when the charge forms between particles of water and small ice in the cloud, while the type of clay on this crater forms in thick ash columns.

The ash particles rub against each other to create friction, as they erupt into the air and split, electric current appears. According to a study by Oregon State University, there are about 200 volcanic eruptions over the past two centuries where dirty clay storms occur.

Lightning

Scientists note that the first case of clayeys occurred in China in 2012. These lightning balls can flash in many colors and light, equivalent to a 100 W. light bulb. They often occur between thunderstorms.

However, it can also occur in other cases, for example, gas escaping from the swamp suddenly catches fire in the air. According to scientific reports, clayeys can form in houses, even on planes, and last for more than a second.

Circle with many layers on the sea floor

In 1995, some divers saw strange circles on the seabed of Japan. After a long period of monitoring, scientists discovered puffer fish is the author of these circles. Male puffer fish uses the body and fins to dig many consecutive grooves, working continuously for 7-9 days, forming a marvelous work to attract mates.

Stone knows

Racetrack Playa shallow lake in Death Valley, California, famous for its "walking stones" weighing up to 320kg. They move to leave long streaks behind, sometimes turning, turning, or changing directions.

In 2013, researchers observed and discovered that this phenomenon occurred when the Racetrack Playa Lake was submerged in water. The water was deep enough for icebergs to form at night but still shallow enough to rock upwards. The process of ice forming and cracking can cause hundreds of stones to move at the same time, but since each stone moves at only a few centimeters / s, it will be difficult to detect when viewed from a distance.
