Nobody knows what causes people to rub their feet on a carpet. Indeed,

it may be different particles that inspire different people to do that. But all

of the static electrical effects we see, including when they walk over to us

and zap us, are due to the motion of electrons from one object to another.

Is the Aurora Borealis caused by humans or nature?

An Aurora Australis or an Aurora Borealis occurs when streams of particles from the sun's solar winds hit the earth's atmosphere at an angle (as can only happen at the poles). These particles interact with the edges of the earth's magnetic field and when they collide with the gases in the ionosphere, the particles glow creating curtains of blue, green and magenta. An aurora is sometimes accompanied by a crackling sound.

Why do hot reactions do better than cold reactions?

When heated particles move faster. Reactions happen when particles smash together, so, when a mixture is heated the particles are moving around a lot and therefore more collisions happen this makes a more violent reaction.
