Today in my new video I'm going to tell you about what you haven't guessed before, We bet you didn't know that every day around the world strange phenomena happen that ordinary people have a hard time explaining.
Now you'll learn about them and their scientific explanations - rainfall in the form of fish, the phenomenon called the gateway to hell, silent but treacherous underwater volcanoes and much more in our new video. Happy viewing, friends!
Door to Hell
Imagine standing on the ground and looking straight into hell, something similar you can experience if you go to Turkmenistan, it's a fiery pit called Darwaza the result of well drilling and excavation organized in 1971. by Soviet geologists due to the accumulation of underground gas in the crater, the danger to the local population grew, so years ago it was decided to light it, but the fire, which should have gone out in a few days, is still burning, although 50 years have passed and the flames, reaching 10 meters high, can be seen from several kilometers, the diameters of the door to hell are about 60 meters and 20 meters deep, too big, in 2010. The President of Turkmenistan has visited Darwaza and stated that the crater should be filled in or other measures should be taken to limit its impact on gas production in other fields in the area, but so far no activity has been seen in the crater area, in November 2013 the famous traveler and explorer George Cornez from Canada even went down to the bottom of the crater to do research and collect samples, he was able to find bacteria that live at the bottom of the crater at high temperatures, these bacteria are not found anywhere else on the surface of the earth and are perfectly comfortable living in the small ecosystem at the bottom of the glowing crater.
Water jets
It turns out that tornadoes have a sister but few people have heard of them, it is called a water tornado, tornadoes usually occur in large open spaces where there is a collision of cold and warm air, water tornadoes is the answer to the question of whether tornadoes can occur offshore, fortunately in most cases the water outflow does not attract new water into itself, however they cause a lot of trouble to ships and lovers of swimming at great depths , if such a death catches up with someone in the open sea it can easily drag them underwater.
Underwater volcanoes
If one day you feel the water boiling around you while swimming, it may be too late to swim away because you have ended up over one of the underwater volcanoes, yes you heard right active volcanoes can be not only on land but also in the sea, and underwater volcanoes greatly exceed land volcanoes in size and volume , coming from the bowels of the earth, most of the active volcanoes are located at the junction of tectonic plates in the so called ocean ridges, these ridges run in their mass deep underwater so most eruptions are not visible to humans and often the eruptions are impossible to spot and yes spotting the eruption using acoustic equipment is often impossible, this is due to the fact that at great depths when magma is ejected into cold water it immediately cools turning into volcanic glass , so it doesn't boil and you can hardly spot anything.
Water tornadoes and underwater volcanoes seem too distant and fantastic phenomena, then let's talk about what happens very close to us almost every day, see if you can find an explanation for such phenomena.
A hail storm
Most of us have only seen moderate hail , where the balls do not exceed the size of a pea , but from time to time on our planet falls quite different the size of a tennis ball , just such a hail fell in the American state of Texas on April 11, 2020. The huge hailstorm has smashed cars, damaged houses and broken all the windows , but the hailstorm in the state of Texas can not be compared to what happened in the city of Guadalajara in Mexico on 30 June 2019, waking up in the morning, local residents found that all the streets were covered with ice, in some places the layer of hail exceeded one and a half meters, cars were blocked, hundreds of houses were damaged and utilities were not ready to remove the consequences of such precipitation, it is logical who would have thought that such a powerful hailstorm could start in one of the hottest countries in the world.
Globular lightning
This is an incredible and terrifying phenomenon, few have even seen recordings let alone seeing it live and scientists still can't explain why and how ball lightning occurs, the first scientific papers on this type of lightning only appeared in the 19th century and the short duration of this phenomenon led to the fact that the first footage of it only appeared in the late 20th century, in 2014. with a clear picture of globular lightning has emerged, but has also not given any clues as to the origin for ordinary lightning, most likely it is an electrical charge that is created due to ice crystals colliding in thunderclouds resulting in the cloud becoming electrified like the object in the examples above, the positively charged particles are at the top and the negatively charged ones at the bottom, such lightning can form between adjacent clouds the cloud and the ground and even inside the clouds, but how can lightning become a ball shape?
Fish showers
Did you know that it periodically rains fish in Japan, in 2009. In Ishikawa prefecture, a local resident suddenly e found a huge carp on the windshield of his car, on the streets of the city that day were found other large fish, some of which reached 30 centimeters in length, some people have been lucky enough to pick up fish from the roads, meanwhile in other areas of the prefecture people have complained of a strange shower of tadpoles over several towns at once, a local ornithologist has suggested that the birds allegedly that they can drop their prey are to blame for the fish, but the global ornithology community disagrees with his theory, although theoretically a mass fish drop is possible, though for a full-blown fish drop it would have to be hundreds of thousands of flocked birds, meteorologists lean towards another version, fish and tadpoles can be pulled from the surface of the water by the water jet, the phenomenon we have discussed has indeed been seen off the coast of Japan.
The biggest avalanche
In October 2017. an unknown cameraman in Norway managed to film an avalanche from start to finish, it all started at the very top at first the avalanche didn't look that terrible, but judging by the speed the avalanche was moving at you would be amazed, the mass of snow grew exponentially and even after the avalanche slid into the valley it even raised a giant cloud of snow dust, on the sides of the mountain they still continue to slide and along the way they can accumulate a mass of up to 10 million tons, but sometimes avalanches are artificially provoked using explosives, this is what happens in this video, they are planned with such gatherings for safety reasons to unload the slopes from rolling snow masses.
Dip
As for the rains, mother nature can be ruthless, this is footage from eastern Libya where heavy rains have recently passed causing landslides and destructive floods , in the video shot by locals, giant torrents of dirty water flow down the streets and sweep away everything in their path, during this they even take away large and heavy vehicles, also a significant portion of buildings, not to mention private property , and in November 2020. Italy has faced a similar problem , in many cities the floods have been so long and strong that cars on the streets have completely disappeared under the water, due to the great mass of water on the ground huge drops have formed, similar to funnels of explosions
The scariest phenomenon in the tropics
This powerful weather phenomenon is capable of destroying everything in its path, its winds usually blow at speeds of over 160 kilometers per hour, The typhoon in the Philippines known as Willis this tropical cyclone formed on November 8, 2020, wind speeds at the epicentre of the storm had reached 155 kilometres per hour when the destructive storm hit the islands wind gust speeds were already reaching 215 kilometres per hour , more than 40 thousand people were left without electricity, fortunately, in anticipation of the typhoon's strike, thousands of residents were able to go to safe areas and yet the residents of this region have still not been able to recover from the effects of the previous typhoon, called Goni , if that typhoon had been assigned the fourth category of danger by scientists, then Goni was assigned the fifth, the highest Goni hit the inhabitants of the province with steam winds of up to 225 kilometers per hour , damaging more than 13 thousand houses, the destruction was brought by storm waves up to 5 meters high.
Landslides
Landslides can be caused by a variety of things, but most commonly occur due to heavy rains and on 3 June 2020, due to such rain, a whole section of the coast suddenly decided to float away, a huge section of houses slowly began to slide into the Norwegian Sea and it all began to crumble until it sank completely, only wreckage and planks were left on the surface, luckily no one was hurt as a result of this tragedy but it is hard to imagine how the owners of these houses must have felt, and this was filmed in Malaysia in 1993, despite the fact that the quality of the video is very low, when you watch this footage you can clearly see how terrible large scale landslides can be, how to save yourself if everything around you suddenly starts to crumble.
