Morning Glory Cloudsrare meteorological

phenomenon observed in Northern Australia's Gulf of Carpentaria

can be up to 1,000 kilometres long, 1 to 2 kilometres high

When Do These Morning Clouds Form?Morning Glory is likely to occur when the humidity in the area is high, which provides moisture for the cloud to form, and when strong sea breezes have blown the preceding day.

Roll Clouds

Gravity HillLocated in Leh, Ladakh

The layout of the area and surrounding slopes create an optical illusion that the downhill road is actually an uphill road. Objects and cars on the hill may appear to roll "uphill" in defiance of gravity when they are, in fact, rolling downhill.

Tianzi Mountains

Located in the Hunan Province of China

named after the farmer Xiang Dakun

 led a successful local farmers' revolt and called himself "tianzi"

This means "son of Heaven"

 deemed sacred by many Sulamitos who used to inhabit the outer regions of Hunan

The Tianzi Mountains were formed from quartz sandstone of 400 million years ago through the intermittent rising of the crust for 2 million years.

During the wet season, Titicaca overflows and discharges into Poopó, which, in turn, floods Salar De Coipasa and Salar de Uyuni.

What Causes Auroras?Auroras are produced when the 

magnetosphere is sufficiently disturbed by the solar wind that the trajectories of

charged particles in both solar wind and magnetospheric plasma, mainly in the form of electrons and protons, precipitate them into the upper atmosphere (thermosphere/exosphere), where their energy is lost. The

resulting ionization and excitation of atmospheric constituents emits light of

varying colour and complexity.
