Ma mua o 80% o Scandinavia a me nā ʻāpana o Kina pōloli i ka make, 30% o ʻEulopa i make i nā maʻi ahulau, a hāʻule nā aupuni. ʻAʻohe mea i ʻike i ke kumu kūpono.
8 | Aia kekahi loko i hele ka wai i Gehena!!
I nā kuahiwi o Oregon, aia kahi loko kupaianaha e kū i kēlā me kēia hoʻoilo, a laila kahe i ka pūnāwai ma o ʻelua puka ma lalo o ka loko, e hana ana i kahi kula nui. ʻAʻohe mea e maopopo leʻa i hea e hele ai kēlā wai. Eia nō naʻe, manaʻo ka ʻepekema ʻo ka lua ka puka o nā paipu pele e pili ana me nā ana o nā lua lua pele i lalo, a e hoʻopiha hou paha ka wai i kahi iʻa wai o lalo.
Pohihihi like: ʻO nā wailele ʻo Devil's Kettle Waterfalls
ʻO ka wailele ʻo Devil's Kettle ma Minnesota kekahi ʻaoʻao e kahe ana ma luna o kahi pā a hoʻomau, a ʻo kekahi ʻaoʻao me kahi lua hohonu e nalowale ana i kahi ʻole. Ua ninini ka poʻe noiʻi i nā mea pena, nā pōpō ping pong, a me nā lāʻau, akā ʻaʻole hiki i kekahi ke ʻike i kahi e hele ai.

Hiki i kēia mau apo ke hele mai 50m a kokoke i 2km ke anawaena, me nā rim ma kahi o 20m ka mānoanoa. ʻAʻole ʻike ʻia ke kumu o nā apo ulu lāʻau, ʻoiai ua hoʻokumu ʻia kekahi mau ʻano hana e like me ka ulu ʻana o ka haʻo, nā paipu kimberlite i kanu ʻia, nā ʻeke kinoea i hoʻopaʻa ʻia, nā lua pele meteorite a me nā mea i manaʻo ʻia no kā lākou hana ʻana.
11 | Aia ka honua i ka mokupuni e kaena ana i ka "wailele lalo"
E noʻonoʻo e ʻauʻau ana ʻoe i ke kai mālie a laila ʻūlū ʻia ʻoe i lalo i kahi wailele nunui e hālohi ana i lalo o ka wai! ʻAe, ʻo kēia manawa weliweli hiki i kou hanohano pilikino ke ʻauʻau ʻoe kokoke i kahi mokupuni i kapa ʻia ʻo Republic of Mauritius aia ma kahi o 2,000 kilomita mai ke kahakai hikina hema o ʻApelika, kokoke i Madagascar.

Aia kekahi kukui pohihihi e lele ana ma luna o Kanada, ʻEulopa a me nā wahi ʻē aʻe o ka ʻāpana ʻākau; a ua kapa inoa ʻia kēia hanana lani kupanaha ʻo "Steve". ʻAʻole maopopo ka poʻe ʻepekema i ke kumu o Steve, akā ua ʻike ʻia e nā poʻe hoihoi Aurora Borealis i kapa ʻia ma hope o kahi hiʻohiʻona ma Ma luna o ka pā, kahi i ʻike ai ka poʻe kiʻi inā ʻaʻole ʻoe i ʻike i ke ʻano o kekahi mea, e kapa ʻia ʻo Steve e hoʻemi iki i ka hoʻoweliweli!
Wahi a nā mea noiʻi ma ke Kulanui o Calgary ma Kanada a me ke Kulanui o Kaleponi, Los Angeles, ʻaʻole ʻo Steve he aurora loa, no ka mea, ʻaʻole i loko o ia nā ʻāpana ʻike o nā ʻāpana i hoʻopaʻa ʻia e pahū ana ma ka lewa o ka Honua e hana ai nā aurora. No laila, he mea ʻokoʻa loa ʻo Steve, he mea pohihihi, ʻaʻole i wehewehe nui ʻia. Ua kapa ʻia e ka poʻe noiʻi he "lani lani."
No laila, he aha kou manaʻo ma hope o ke aʻo ʻana i kēia ʻike ʻē a pohihihi e pili ana i ka Honua? Manaʻo ʻole e kaʻana i kāu mau manaʻo kūpono.
