The Wonders of Nature
There are so many nature-related sites that are
all worth a look-see, but I haven't got enough space to
give all of them special mention. However, I have tried
very hard to fit as many fascinating and diverse places
as possible to keep an interesting mix of things to see.
I hope you will find all these subjects as scary,
informative, fun and amazing as I do! As times change,
and sites don't, this list will get updated. But for
learning all you can about tornadoes, weather, volcanoes,
geology, astronomy, etc., this page can't be beaten!
I have been fascinated by meteorology, vulcanology,
earth sciences, marine biology and astronomy ever since I can
remember. All of these things tell us not only about the
world we live in, but about how we live in relationship
to it. People tend to lose their self-importance when a
volcano erupts unexpectedly and treats its nearby
inhabitants in the same uniformly unfair way. Everyone suddenly
becomes much more like the next person when a tornado
rips through their town. We are a part of the earth, and
all the things that affect it affect us.
