List of natural phenomena

A natural phenomenon is an observable event which is not man-made. Examples include: sunrise, weather, fog, thunder, tornadoes; biological processes, decomposition, germination; physical processes, wave propagation, erosion; tidal flow, and natural disasters such as electromagnetic pulses, volcanic eruptions, and earthquakes.

Contents

Types of natural phenomena include, but are not limited to, the following.

Biological

  • Decomposition – by which organic substances are broken down into a much simpler form of matter
  • Metabolism
  • Catabolism
  • Anabolism
  • Fermentation – converts sugar to acids, gases and/or alcohol.
  • Growth
  • Population decrease
  • Overpopulation growth beyond

    • Chemical

  • Crystal growth
  • Oxidation
  • Fire
  • Rusting

    • Geological

    Geological processes include erosion, sedimentation, and volcanic activities such as geysers and earthquakes.

    Meteorological

    Violent Meteorological phenomena are called storms. Regular, cyclical phenomena include seasons and atmospheric circulation. Climate change is often semi-regular.

    Nuclear and Electrical

  • Elementary particle interactions
  • Supernova

    • Oceanographic

  • Oceanographic phenomena include tsunamis, ocean currents and breaking waves.

    • Physical

  • Gravity
