Sun Dogs


Sun dogs are atmospheric phenomena of the caused by the refraction of sunlight through ice crystals Such as those hosted in cirrus clouds. Sun dogs are atmospheric phenomenon caused by sunlight refracting through ice crystals like cirrus clouds held on. A number of specific conditions must prevail for sun dogs to form. A number of special conditions shall apply to dog the sun formed. Many observers miss Them Because They form close to the sun, requiring the viewer to look Almost directly into the sun to see Them. Many observers have missed them because they make up close to the sun, requiring viewers to see almost directly at the sun to see them. However, Pls conditions are right, sun dogs cans be clearly viewed, and are Quite striking, looking like false Smaller Suns next to the real sun. However, if the conditions are right, the sun dogs can be clearly seen, and quite striking, looking like a smaller false sun next to the real sun.
In order for the dog to form the sun, the sun must be in the sky, usually less than 45 degrees from the horizon, and in the same horizontal plane as the viewer. Small hexagonal ice crystals Also must be in roughly the Same plane, and be oriented parallel to the ground. Small hexagonal ice crystals should also be in the same area roughly, and oriented parallel to the ground. If all of the ice crystals are Relatively flat, sun dogs form will from approximately 22 degrees away from the sun. If all the ice crystals are relatively flat, dog solar will make up approximately 22 degrees away from the sun. Usually, sun dogs come in pairs, one on Either Side of the Sun, and Sometimes They are accompanied by a halo, the caused by the refraction of sunlight through ice crystals oriented in multiple directions. Usually, dog sun come in pairs, one on either side of the sun, and they are sometimes accompanied by a halo, which is caused by the refraction of sunlight through ice crystals are oriented in various directions.
Parhelion is the other name for a sun dog, a reference to the fact They are found next to, or of the sun, Helios. Parhelion is another name for sun dogs, a reference to the fact they were found next to, or point the sun, Helios. Sun dogs have been observed and written about for Centuries, and Sometimes viewed as evil omens were the resource persons to perform certain During periods of history. Sun dogs have been observed and written over the centuries, and is sometimes seen as a bad omen for a certain period in history. In other instances, sun dogs were the resource persons Considered to be augurs of good luck for the observer. In other cases, sun dogs are considered a sign of good fortune for the observer. Several pieces of classical art depict what Appear to be a sun dogs, suggesting a Recognized That They were the resource persons phenomenon. Some pieces of classical art to describe what the sun looks like a dog, showed that they are a recognized phenomenon. On rare Occasions, sun dogs are Quite vivid and brilliant, making it seem like there are multiple Suns in the sky. On rare occasions, the dog is quite clear and brilliant sun, making it look like there is some sun in the sky
Cold area is an excellent place to observe the sun dogs, although many temperate winter form ice crystals that enough to make them. Patient observers cans moon dogs Pls Also spot the moon is bright, although They Can Be Very Difficult to photograph well without an excellent camera and a tripod. Patient observers can also see the moon when the moon is bright dog, although they can be very difficult to photograph well without a very good camera and tripod. In both cases, look Slightly to the left or right of the major light-emitting body in the sky for Smaller, bright objects have long tails That Often facing away from the true moon or sun. In both cases, looking slightly to the left or right main body emits light in the sky for a smaller, bright objects that often have a long tail is facing away from the moon or the sun. Putting your fist in front of the moon or sun will of help you protect your eyes and spot these interesting phenomena, and if you live in a cold region, May you see Them Quite frequently. Placing your hand in front of the moon or the sun will help you protect your eyes and deal with this phenomenon interesting, and if you live in cold regions, you may see them quite often.

Ice Circles

The circle of ice phenomena are extremely rare in cold temperature water. big ice circles can be found in Scandinavian and North America.
If you see a strange circle on the surface of the river, do not rush to conclude that a UFO had just landed in river. Maybe what you see is the Ice Circle newly formed.

Ice Circle or the circle of ice is a phenomenon that appears in the water that has a slow flow in a cold climate. The shape resembles a giant dish which consists of ice and rotates slowly on the surface of the water.
The mystery is in fact already been mentioned in the 19th century. An illustration of the Ice Circle pictures ever published in the magazine Scientific American in 1895. London News also reported this phenomenon that occurred in Toronto in 1930.

Generally, this phenomenon appeared in Scandinavia and North America, but never once seen in the UK in January 2009.

Circle Ice generally appear on the curve of the river where water flow is accelerated to create a force called "Rotational shear", which then broke the ice blocks and play.
In line with the rotation of the disc, he grind the ice around it so that it becomes smooth and forms a perfect circle. This phenomenon has been identified although the cause, but it remains a rare occurrence.

2. Tsunami in the Ancient Greek
Tsunami in the Ancient Greek period is known to be the first tsunami recorded in history. Because, tsunaminya is eruption of a volcano near the island of Thera or Santorini. The number of people killed in the tsunami is not known with certainty, but estimated to reach more than 100,000 people.
The tsunami waves estimated at 15 meters. Meanwhile, the tsunami that occurred in 1500 BC is expected to cause the collapse of the civilization of Minoa, one of the civilizations that developed at that time.
3. Tsunami in Portugal, Spain, and Morocco
The tsunami caused by an earthquake centered in the bottom waters of the Atlantic in 1755. The tsunami waves struck the cities in Portugal, Spain, and Morocco with the worst damage occurred in the city of Lisbon. Tsunami wave height does not exceed Krakatau tsunami, but the number of people killed far more, as many as 60,000 people.
4. South China Sea Tsunami
The tsunami occurred in 1782 in the South China Sea region adjacent to Taiwan. Therefore, the tsunami is a tectonic earthquake that occurred on the ocean floor. It is not clear epicenter and strength, but as many as 40,000 people die because of it. Based on the published catalog of Russia's tsunami, the tsunami waves hit the mainland as far as 120 kilometers.
5. Tsunamis caused by the eruption of Krakatoa in the Sunda Strait
The tsunami occurred in 1883 and killed about 36,000 people. The tsunami waves caused by the eruption reached a height 40 meters and swept at least 165 villages in Java and Sumatra. Krakataunya eruption itself is the largest volcanic eruption in history, a sound so loud and volcanic ash which even spread to Australia.

Mount Merapi

Mount Merapi
Yogyakarta. Indonesia      The name Mount Merapi has been quite popular in the ears of the people of Indonesia. Something related to the existence of Mount Merapi is often associated with things smelling mystery, including the existence of supernatural beings rulers and inhabitants of Mount Merapi. The results of investigation proved that the local community residents and authorities believe that Mount Merapi is there.      They called her Grandmother Merapi. "You see a small hill on top of that? It's called mountain Wutah, gapuranya or grandparent Merapi palace gates." One line was proudly spilling out of a hurry, a native of Kinahrejo Cangkrinagan Sleman, shortly after we climbed a rocky barren fig tree without a bar of any decoration.      Local people believe, wingit region flanked by two small mound was known as Old Man pelatarannya palace Merapi. To rise to it, reminded to uluk greetings, or just ask for permission so on it. "Kulo Nuwun grandparent, coolies, FE ingkang SOWAN, sumangga silakna rikma Niro," added his wife hastened, Suharjiyah, as he led us to imitate the pronunciation.      Tenyu course, appeal a husband and wife whose bodies were becoming wrinkled with age is not without reason. According to him, the ruler of the palace Merapi very offended when newcomers adventurous (cause trouble), pethakilan (indecent act) without giving uluk greetings (excuse me). These consequences if violated would be fatal. "Those who had no grip mengubris culture is clearly the result would be fatal, usually will get lost until kecebur abyss," he hastened.      One thing to remember, every new arrivals in the region will undoubtedly Kinahrejo damned if to offend the locals. "Later kuwalat can-can become," added soon. Is that cruel? "Actually not. Just really, grandparent Merapi was not like it when villages here (Kinahrejo, Red) become targets of acts that are not praiseworthy. The problem, residents here still including the peoples palace sebetulnyakan Eyang Merapi. Not believe? Try it you note and ask residents here, what ever the region affected by bursts of hot lava of Merapi? Surely they do not answer, "      In addition, some local residents described the court ruling Merapi figure with a hideous creature, but good-hearted and meant no harm, "He is the guidance as the local community," said Suharjiyah. The amount of confidence of local communities against the existence of grandparent Merapi make sure that they would mystical things that happen happen to the community. For example, the gate Kramat, residents living on the slopes of Mount Merapi was believed that the gate is the antidote of all the distress.      The gate that stands over 9 centuries had almost never been touched by disaster of mount Merapi. Though technically the area including a list of danger areas. It is also not free from the presence of two hills (Wutah and Kendit) that serves as a fortress surrounding villages Kinahrejo. "Hill Kendit and Wutah hill that was still included in the areas of power Eyang Merapi. Itukan pasebannya (a place for the king's) palace Grandmother Merapi. So maybe Grandpa will not have the heart to destroy people who have long inhabited the place about it," hastened to explain further .      Indeed, compared to other villagers, the fate of occupants Kinahrejo and surrounding villages including the lucky ones. Besides being a village that almost always escape the danger hot lava of Merapi, which allegedly included the village of Old Man's favorite village Merapi also become a reresentasi of an atmosphere-paced life comfortable and peaceful.      No wonder if in the future often appears sindirin among the local population to the resident in the territory west of Mount Merapi, which is often a disaster subscription lava. "If you want quiet peaceful life, move here. Eyang Merapi not always protect us," said Wardiyah, one citizen who claimed Kinahrejo native village.      Speech Wardiyah indeed have a point. The villagers seemed to have gained Kinahrejo Eyang warranty from Merapi. In short, while they adhere to all existing regulations such as feathers are always presented in the form of offerings fail to do the ritual offerings and always harbor each year, they are confident and optimistic that they will always avoid the threat of eruption of Merapi.      Either believe it or not all of us back to God. All of that is the power of God the Almighty and only god knows what's behind everything that happens in this world.

South China Sea Tsunami

South China Sea Tsunami
On May 22, 1960 an earthquake measuring the strongest in recorded history, occurred off the coast of South Central Chile. Measuring 9.5 on the Richter scale, triggered a tsunami 30 feet high. Nearly fifteen minutes after the quake, the first tsunami-affected land, flooding more than 500 miles from the coast of Chile. With a combination of earthquakes, tsunamis, landslides and damage, it is estimated that one out of every three homes in the quake zone have been lost. Source: scieds.com estimated cost of more than 550 million U.S. dollars (1960 dollars), and mortality is estimated to reach 2,000.
But the tsunami is still far from finished. The wave hit Hilo, Hawaii, 15 hours later, killing 61 people and wounding 282 others ill. Because of confusion over the warning sirens, people returned to their homes after the first wave, only to be arrested in 20-foot waves that followed was deafening.
22 hours after 9.5 quake, the tsunami radiated from the epicenter Chile and arrived in Japan. For hours, residents experienced by waves as high as 14 feet. After the destruction is complete, Japan 122 people lost their lives to the heavy water
