Natural phenomenon is any observable event or process in nature that arises from the interaction of various environmental components without direct human involvement. Natural phenomena encompass a wide range of events occurring in the atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere, playing a key role in shaping the Earth's environment and maintaining ecosystems.

The collection of images of natural phenomena presents a variety of processes and events that occur regularly or under exceptional natural conditions. These may include atmospheric phenomena such as rain, thunderstorms, rainbows, fog, lightning, hurricanes, or snowstorms; hydrological processes like waves, tsunamis, waterfalls, and ice drift; geological events such as volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, landslides, and mountain formation; and climatic features including seasonal changes, polar auroras, and frost.

Natural phenomena are often accompanied by changes in surrounding landscapes and climate, affect flora and fauna, as well as human living conditions. They can manifest instantaneously—for example, a lightning strike—or develop slowly over many years, like erosion processes or glacier formation. Seasonal and regional variations of natural processes reflect the interaction of solar energy, geographical location, and biological systems.

These images provide an opportunity to explore the diversity and complexity of natural processes across all parts of the planet. Natural phenomena reflect the dynamic nature of the Earth and serve as a basis for understanding natural cycles, the interconnections between ecosystem components, and global changes occurring in the environment.
