Nature has a lot of positive effects on humans! Being in nature, or even viewing scenes of nature, reduces anger, fear, and stress and increases pleasant feelings. Exposure to nature makes you feel better emotionally, it contributes to your physical wellbeing, reducing blood pressure, heart rate, muscle tension, and the production of stress hormones. It may even reduce mortality, according to scientists.
There are so many amazing things in the nature that you don’t know they actually exist. What you will see in this video might seem impossible but it is very real! An amazing footage of exploding plants, plants that disperse their seeds by exploding!
In plants, as in animals, the end result of reproduction is the continuation of a given species. Plants can reproduce in many ways. Some plants have seedpods that dry out once the seeds are ripe. When dry, the pods split open and the seeds scatter!
In the video we cam see how violets, poisonous squirting cucumbers, and touch-me-nots or Impatiens capensis have an effective way of dispersing their seeds: they burst! They explode their seeds out into the world. Enjoy watching!
