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, hurricanes and earthquakes.

History
Over many intervals of time, natural phenomena have been observed by a series of countless events as a feature created by nature.

Physical phenomena
The act of:
 * Freezing
 * Boiling
 * Gravity
 * Magnetism

Chemical phenomena

 * Oxidation
 * Fire
 * Rusting

Biological phenomena

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

Astronomical phenomena

 * Supernova
 * Gamma ray bursts
 * Quasars
 * Blazars
 * Pulsars
 * Cosmic microwave background radiation.

Geological phenomena

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

Oceanographic

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