Red sprites are still a bit mysterious
to scientists. They happen in the
upper atmosphere, miles above
thunderstorms that are ending.
After much of the electric charge is
removed from a storm through
lightning strikes, these glowing

are rarely seen from Earth.

« St. Elmo’s Fire

It’s not actually fire at all—it’s a gas called plasma.
Metallic or pointy objects often become super-
charged during thunderstorms. When the charges
are high enough, the air around the object also
becomes charged, or ionized. The nitrogen and
oxygen in the air cause the glow to be blue or
violet, and the St. Elmo’s light can continue for
several minutes.
Sky »
Punch

Sometimes you’ll see a stretch of clouds across the sky, and then a few
minutes later there’s a hole punched right through the clouds! This
phenomenon is caused when supercooled clouds float in a blanket-like
layer across the sky before an airplane flies through them. The broken
cloud section then falls as snow.

» Waterspout
These water funnels form in two
ways: when a tornado moves over
water, or when wind is light but cu-
mulus clouds have begun to develop.
(Cumulus clouds are the white, fluffy-
looking clouds.) The second kind
starts swirling at the surface of the
water and moves upward. They’ll fall
apart quickly if they reach land.

14 NAT GEO KIDS • NOVEMBER 2018 JIM RICHARDSON / NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC CREATIVE

STONE-COLD MYSTERY SOLVED?«

These statues, called moai, were built at least 800 years ago by the
Rapa Nui people on Easter Island, in the South Pacific Ocean. Once
carved, the stones had to be moved as far as 11 miles from their
quarry into place. The prehistoric people who built them had no
metal tools or wheels. Their method was a mystery until 2012, when
researchers built a replica of one of the figures to crack the case.

The scientists showed that just 18 people with three strong
ropes could’ve moved the statues. Pulling one statue at a time, they
could’ve “walked” the statues on their large, rounded bases. Since
the islanders didn’t write down their technique, scientists can’t be
sure this is the method. But it’s the most likely answer. Maybe the
old legend—which says the statues walked into place—was the
truth all along!

natgeokids eyes, chubby cheeks, or big foreheads, our brain sends a chemical called
.com dopamine through our body. This dopamine makes us experience the
/november sensation of reward. It’s the same chemical released when we eat a
super-sugary treat, hit a home run, or fall in love.

Looking at baby animals might even boost your brainpower—sort of.
For an experiment, a team of psychologists had students play one round
of a game that took a lot of concentration. Then they had half the stu-
dents look at pictures of puppies and kittens. On the second round, this
group did better than another group who didn’t look at the adorable
critters. So looking at photos of cute baby animal isn’t just fun—it
