It is easy to get lost in cars and offices and grocery stores and forget that there is a bigger, more beautiful world that we do not always get to see. But amazing things happen in some cases right outside your door every day.
So let's take a detour through some incredible, sometimes mind-blowing events Earth has to offer, along with the science behind them.
[1]. REFLECTIVE SALT FLATS, BOLIVIA

Salt flats in Bolivia are a natural wonder. Locally it is known as Salar de Uyuni (or Salar de Tunupa). It is the world's largest flat at 10,582 square kilometers. It is in the Daniel Campos Province in PotosÃ, southwestern Bolivia, near the summit of the Andes at an elevation of 3,656 meters (11,995 ft) above sea level.
There is an enchanting forest in Shikoku, Japan, where at night, you will see the floor with shiny green. Thanks to the shiny green, creating a luminescent atmosphere. Bioluminescent mushrooms grow during the rainy season in the forests and create an almost imaginary world. These fungi grow from rotting wood and attract hundreds of visitors from all over the world. These visitors discover dark mushrooms shining through the forest at night and are in awe of this natural phenomenon. There are about ten varieties of these light-up mushrooms in Japan, as well as many in other parts of the world.
Bolivar's Salar de Uyuni is considered one of the most extreme and remarkable expanses in entire South America, if not the Earth. Spread over 4,050 square miles of Altiplano, it is the largest salt flat in the world, which evaporated long before prehistoric lakes. Here, a thick layer of salt extends to the horizon, covered by a quilted, polygonal pattern of salt rising from the ground.
At certain times of the year, nearby lakes overflow, and a thin layer of water turn the flats into a stunning reflection of the sky. This beautiful and another kind of terrain serves as an attractive extraction site for salt and lithium - the element responsible for powering laptops, smartphones, and electric cars. In addition to local workers who harvest these minerals, the landscape is home to the world's first salt hotel and is populated by road-tripping tourists. The harsh beauty and valor of Salar de Uyuni can make for an incredible experience or a nightmare.

The Wave is another most amazing thing in nature. It is located in Arizona, United States. It is a beautiful sandstone rock on the slope of coyote baits in the Paria Canyon – Vermillion Cliffs Wilderness of the Colorado Plateau, which is located in the U.S.
The formation is famous among hikers and photographers for its colorful, emergent forms and the difficult growth required to reach it. Due to the fragile nature of the formation and the large number of people wishing to see it, a daily lottery system is used to remove only the next day's ten permits in person at the Cannab Visitor Center. Additionally, ten online permits for each date are available four months prior to a planned trip. A map and information about the hike are supplied to those who have obtained a permit.

The Crystals Cave or Giant Crystal Cave is the largest natural crystal formation found in the Nica Mine, Mexico. Naica Mine, located in Naica, is a lead, zinc and silver mine, operated by Mexico's largest main producer, Industrias Peñoles.
Gypsum: It is the main ingredient in drywall and often yellow ale and Indian pellets are added to water while drinking. Man has been using this mineral for literally thousands of years. But at the turn of the 21st century, the world renewed its appreciation for the stuff when the miners discovered some spectacularly large crystals - massive gypsum columns.
They are buried 984 feet (300 m) below the Sierra de Nica Mountains in Chihuahua, Mexico.
The cave was discovered in April 2000 by brothers Juan and Pedro Sanchez during drilling at the mine. By October 2015, the mine was flooded and a once-filled cove filled with mineral-rich water needed for the crystal to grow.
A group of scientists known as the Naica Project has been involved in researching these caves.
[4]. VOLCANIC LIGHTENING IN ICELAND

This is another wonder of nature. This epic display of volcanic lightning is also known as "Dirty Thunderstorm". It occurs when particles of rock and ice particles collide with ash in a volcanic cloud to generate static charges.
Volcanic lightning is caused by an electrical discharge, which occurs from a volcanic eruption rather than a normal thunderstorm. The volcano's volcano is bounced off by colliding particles of volcanic ash (and sometimes ice), which generate static electricity within the volcano's ground, causing a thunderstorm. Moist convection and ice formation also conduct the dynamics of the eruption plume and can trigger volcanic lightning. But unlike normal hailstorms, volcanic lightning can also occur before the ice crystals form in the ash cloud.
