Some of them are considered to be really special due to their beauty, incredible stories about their creation, and all the living organisms which inhabit them. For these reasons, they are often referred to as the natural wonders of the world. Auroras (Northern and Southern Lights) Imagine seeing the night sky turn bright green, purple and red, and that all of these lights suddenly start dancing around. It is one of most beautiful sights known to humans. Although these lights, called auroras, look absolutely magical, their occurrence can actually be explained through science. Appearing above the North and South poles, they are created when electrically charged particles from the sun collide and penetrate into the atmosphere. Their color variations depend on the type of gas particles which come together. Auroras do not just appear every night - their activity happens in cycles, and reaches its peak every 11 years. For this reason, interested observers should really plan their trip carefully. Apart from the poles, auroras are best seen in parts of Canada, Iceland, Norway and the coastal waters of Siberia. Mount Everest, Nepal Located in the subrange of the Himalayas, Mount Everest is the world's highest mountain, standing at 29,029 feet (8,848 meters). British mountaineers tried to ascent to the summit of Mount Everest eight times before two of them finally succeeded in 1953. Several thousands of people have climbed to the peak since then, normally with the assistance of Sherpas, local Nepalese people who carry the equipment and know the mountain very well. Because of the harsh climate and the temperature that can drop down to -76°F (-60°C), this is a very dangerous journey. The mountain is so high that the climbers have to use bottled oxygen to keep their lungs functioning. Interestingly, the summit point also lies on the international border between Tibet and Nepal. huge. A) level B) height C) elevation 2. Electrically A) filled Grand Canyon, the United States of America This 227 mile (446 km) long canyon is located in the state of Arizona and was carved by the Colorado River. The Grand Canyon reaches the depth of over one mile (1,857 meters). It expands over a vast area which was one inhabited by Native Americans, and was considered to be a holy site. Scientists believe the Colorado River built this natural wonder up to 6 million years ago. Even though the elevati- change from the river to the highest point in the canyon is huge, there are still quite a few plants and animals livi there, although most of the animals are rodents (mice and rats) and bat species. Today, the Grand Canyon is a natic park, and tourists can enjoy climbing the beautiful red rocks, rafting on the river, or simply sightseeing. Choose the correct answer. 1.
