INTRODUCTION

Most of us, know  of the Seven Wonders of the World,although  only a few of of them, can name them.But the world is also home to wonders of a quite different kind- ones created not by humans, but by the forces of nature. For more than 4 billion years, these forces have been shaping our planet, and its precious cargo of living things. The result is a bewildering array of natural marvels and spectacles, some of which scientists fully understand,and others which they are only just beginning to explain.This blog focuses on a number of these natural wonders, and reveals what lies behind them. Beginning with living things, it looks at some of the strangest inhabitants of our planet, including animals that are even smaller than some bacteria, fungi that digest themselves, and plants that live and flower underground.Here you can also discover wonders of animal behavior : fish that spend the night in slimy 'sleeping bags' and birds that feed on blood. The list of these living wonders also includes nature's fastest movers, it' s greatest  travelers, and its finest animals such as beavers and termites,which create fantastically elaborate homes,  architects,  without needing to learn how to build. The blog also looks at our planet as a whole,beginning with its setting in the Solar System. Dip into this section of the blog and you will learn about phenomena that have puzzled people through the ages, and others that are still new to science, What are comets, and why do they have glowing tails? What is a quasar, and where would you look for one? What makes the Sun shine, and how much longer will it burn before it finally goes out? Closer to home, you can discover nature at its most violent and destructive.Here, the list of wonders includes volcanic eruptions and earthquakes,as well as extreme weather events such as thunderstorms, hailstorms,and tornadoes.This is also the place to find out about the most spectacular features of the Earth's surface, from its highest mountains to its deepest oceans and caves, and to discover what lies behind some of nature's rarest spectacles,such as the legendary green flash' and St Elmo's Fire. Centuries ago, people explained nature's wonders with myths and legends, rather than by facts. Today, thanks to science, we know much more about how nature works.
