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. [1] [2]
Example of a physical phenomenon is an observable phenomenon of the lunar orbit or the phenomenon of oscillations of a pendulum. [4] A mechanical phenomenon is a physical phenomenon associated with the equilibrium or motion of objects. [5] Some examples are Newton's cradle, engines, and double pendulums.
Meanwhile, for Dr. Brandon, the most beautiful natural phenomenon is the northern lights, whereas the most fascinating is the diel vertical migration.
Inductance — The phenomenon whereby the property of a circuit by which energy is stored in the form of an electromagnetic field. Induction heating — Heat produced in a conductor when eddy currents pass through it. Joule heating — Heat produced in a conductor when charges move through it, such as in resistors and wires.
A geological phenomenon is a phenomenon which is explained by or sheds light on the science of geology. Examples of geological phenomena are: Mineralogic phenomena; Lithologic phenomena Rock types. Igneous rock. Igneous formation processes; Sedimentary rock. Sedimentary formation processes (sedimentation) Quicksand; Metamorphic rock; Endogenic ...
The canonical example concerns emergent mental states (M and M∗) that supervene on physical states (P and P∗) respectively. Let M and M∗ be emergent properties. Let M∗ supervene on base property P∗. What happens when M causes M∗? Jaegwon Kim says: In our schematic example above, we concluded that M causes M∗ by causing P∗.

All optical phenomena coincide with quantum phenomena. [1] Common optical phenomena are often due to the interaction of light from the Sun or Moon with the atmosphere, clouds, water, dust, and other particulates. One common example is the rainbow, when light from the Sun is reflected
