 Phenomena

Recurrent Non-recurrent

Occuring over and over again Non repeating incidents

(Repeating)
Recurrent Non-recurrent

Rising of the sun in the morning Falling of a certain fruit from a tree

Sun setting in the evening Falling down of a certain building

Vapourizing of water to form clouds Germinating of a certain seed

Phases of moon decreasing gradually Dying of a certain animal

Lightning and thundering Rusting of a certain iron sheet

Rotation of the earth

 See to the following
incidents
 Blooming of flower
 Raining / Lightning
 Falling down of a tree
 Spoilage of food
 Blooming of mushrooms
 Rusting of iron sheets
 Dying of an animals

These incidents are NOT effected by man.

Incidents that are not effected by man are called
SPONTANEOUS incidents
 Incidents
Connected to non-living
