Seven natural wonders of the world
The seven natural wonders of the world were not artificially built, but created by Mother Nature. Let's learn more about these amazing natural wonders.
dawn sunshine
The Northern Lights, also known as "Northern Lights", are named after Aurora, the Roman goddess of dawn. Its Greek name is boreas. They are natural fireworks. This magical light usually appears in September 9- 10/0 and March-April. It occurs in the North Pole, but it can be seen in many parts of the world. They are produced when polar particles from the sun collide with the earth's atmosphere. The collision energy of polar particles with the atmosphere is emitted in the form of light particles. When there are many collisions, you will see aurora flying in the air.
paricutin volcano
1943 On the afternoon of February 20th, Mexican farmer Dionisio pulido was working in the field when suddenly he heard thunder and the land beside him cracked. Pulido later recalled, "I saw the earth bulging and rising very high in a hole." The smoke began to rise and smelled of sulfur. I got scared and ran away. This is how the Palikutine volcano was born at the foot of a farmer. The volcano continued to erupt and gradually became larger in the next nine years. 1952 finally quieted down, which is 424 meters higher than Mr. pulido's farmland.
Rio de Janeiro
On the east coast of Brazil, there is a wonderful scene composed of high mountains and beautiful beaches. European Portuguese explorers first saw this harbor on 1 50265438+1October1. They thought they came to the mouth of a big river, so they named it Rio de Janeiro, which means the river of January. This port is a self-heating beauty, surrounded by the city of Rio. Landmarks include Sweet Bread Mountain and Corcaud Ba Du Feng. There is a huge statue of Jesus. In fact, this place is so spectacular that people are amazed: God created the world in six days and took a fancy to Rio on the seventh day.
Mount Qomolangma
About 60 million years ago, India was an independent continent, drifting rapidly northward and colliding with the Asian continent. It is well known that the impact created the highest mountain in the world, the Himalayas. Mount Everest is a part of the Himalayas, with an altitude of 8848 meters. It is located on the border between China and Nepal. In Nepal, it is called Sagarmantha, which means the goddess of the sky. Tibet is called Chomolungma, which means the mother goddess of the universe. Thousands of people tried to climb this peak, more than 700 people succeeded, and at least 150 people died.
