Rainbow usually occurs when rain or drizzle after
heavy rain stopped. After the heavy rain stopped, the air
filled with the vapors of water. Moreover, the rainbow
can be created in a puddle of oil. Sometimes in certain
circumstances, a beam of white light enveloped by a
rainbow. Rainbow can occur anytime and anywhere in the
home involves three well as the nature of light, the
reflection (reflection), refraction (refraction), and
diffraction.We can only see a maximum of a half circle
rainbow. To see the full rainbow of the circle, then we
must stand on higher ground.
The illustrations in the picture above shows that the
circular rainbow. It is true that the rainbow circle, instead of
a parabola as some people. On the ground, we only see a
maximum of a half circle rainbow. If we stand on the
rain, for example, on an airplane, then we could see a
rainbow circle intact. This is all caused by the optical
geometry in the process of decomposition of color. With
this optical geometry also we can explain the straight
line that passes through our eyes and the sun also passes
through the center point of the circle rainbow. Because
rainbow created involving distance observer with water droplets, then the rainbow always move to follow the
movement of the observer. It makes our distance with
rainbow constant (same), in other words we could never
approach the rainbow.

An earthquake (also called a shake, tremor or temblor) is
the aftereffect of a sudden arrival of vitality in the
Earth’s hull that makes seismic waves. The seismicity or
seismic action of a range alludes to the recurrence, sort
and size of quakes experienced over a time of time.
Earthquakes are measured utilizing perceptions from
seismometers. The minute size is the most widely
recognized scale on which earthquakes bigger than
more or less 5 are accounted for the whole globe. The
greater number of various seismic tremors littler than
size 5 reported by national seismological observatories
are measured for the most part on the nearby extent
scale, additionally alluded to as the Richter scale. These two scales are numerically comparative over their scope of
legitimacy. Extent 3 or lower tremors are basically practically impalpable or powerless and size 7 and over possibly
cause genuine harm over bigger ranges, contingent upon their profundity. The biggest tremors in notable times have
been of greatness marginally more than 9, albeit there is no restriction to the conceivable extent. The latest substantial
tremor of extent 9.0 or bigger was a 9.0 greatness quake in Japan in 2011 and it was the biggest Japanese tremor since
records started. Force of shaking is measured on the changed Mercalli scale. The shallower a seismic tremor, the more
harm to structures it causes, all else being equivalent.
At the Earth’s surface, tremors show themselves by shaking and infrequently uprooting of the ground. At the point
when the epicenter of an extensive seismic tremor is found seaward, the seabed may be uprooted sufficiently to bring
about a torrent. Earthquakes can likewise trigger avalanches, and sporadically volcanic movement.
In its most general sense, the word tremor is utilized to depict any seismic occasion — whether characteristic or
brought on by people — that creates seismic waves. Seismic tremors are created generally by burst of geographical
deficiencies, additionally by different occasions, for example, volcanic action, avalanches, mine impacts, and atomic
tests. A quake’s purpose of beginning break is called its center or hypocenter. The epicenter is the point at ground
level specifically over the hypocenter.
