- 8. A rapidly rotating column of air that extends from a cumulonimbus cloud to the ground, often characterized by a funnel shape and strong winds.
- 9. The moment when the sun appears above the horizon in the morning, signaling the beginning of a new day and illuminating the sky with beautiful colors.
- 12. Hot springs that intermittently erupt with a column of boiling water and steam, shooting into the air due to underground volcanic activity.
- 14. A visible collection of water vapor in the atmosphere, appearing as white or gray masses that can take various shapes.
- 15. A sudden flash of light in the sky during a thunderstorm, caused by the discharge of electricity between clouds or between a cloud and the ground.
Down
- 1. A celestial object composed of ice, dust, and rock, characterized by a glowing coma and sometimes a tail when it approaches the sun.
- 2. A natural light display in the sky, usually near the polar regions, caused by the interaction of solar particles with the Earth's magnetic field.
- 3. A strong windstorm that carries and blows large amounts of sand and dust, reducing visibility and creating a gritty and dusty environment.
- 4. The obscuring of one celestial body by another, such as the moon blocking the sun during a solar eclipse or the Earth casting a shadow on the moon during a lunar eclipse.
- 6. A cascade of water falling from a height, typically flowing over a rocky cliff or ledge, creating a beautiful and mesmerizing sight.
- 10. Tiny droplets of water that form on surfaces such as grass, leaves, and flowers during the night or early morning, due to condensation of moisture from the air
- 11. A series of giant ocean waves caused by underwater disturbances, such as earthquakes or volcanic eruptions, capable of causing significant destruction.
- 13. A colorful arch that appears in the sky after rain, caused by the sunlight being refracted and reflected by water droplets in the air.
