I believe it has to do with the ash that is ejected violently from the volcano, which in doing so suffer a lot of friction becoming charged with electricity. Then at some point, that electricity needs to flow to the ground, via lightning..

∙ 11y agoCurrently the mechanics of how volcanic eruptions produce lightning are not well understood. Part of it may have to do with ash particles exchanging charges particles in a similar mechanism to what causes lightning in thunderstorms.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoThe reason for that is the thermal heat from the magma creates a electrical storm in the much colder outer volcano therefore it often creates an electrical storm leading to lightning flashes all over the area.

What happens if you put soda in a natural volcano?
It will do nothing to the volcano.
Why is there lightning in the volcano?
Lightning is not inside a volcano. When a volcano erupts, it explodes and heats rocks into small particles. These particles are ejected into the normal cloud base above the area. This creates a storm with its own weather pattern. With differences in air temps and clouds heavy with heated particles, ions start to be irritated from each other. Lightning results.
What effect did Iceland have from the volcano?
Iceland had a very big effect from the volcano it caused rain thunder lightning the lava from the volcano even killed some people and lots of plants and animals died.
What happens when a volcano collapse on itself?
When a volcano collapses on itself a caldera is then formed.
What happens when a volcano collapses in on itself.?
When a volcano collapses on itself a caldera is then formed.
What happens when lightning strikes lava?
In an active volcano, it is common for there to be lightning strikes. Their energy is tiny compared to the energy of the volcano. They may be caused by piezoelectric effects in the dust.
The thunder comes before the lightning the lightning comes before the clouds The rain dries everything it touches?
This a riddle. It has been given as "My thunder comes before my lightning. My lightning comes before my rain. My rain dries everything it touches. What am I?"One suggestion is a volcano. It's roar comes before it spews out fiery magma, and possibly lightning occurs in the subsequent clouds above the volcano. Then it rains hot ash, which certainly dries everything it touches.
Your thunder comes before the lightning your lightning comes before the clouds your rain dries all the land it touches?
A volcano.
What happens to particles when lightning strikes?
They get struck by lightning.
What happens to the glass ball on a lightning rod if it gets struck by lightning?
The glass ball is for ornamental purposes only. Nothing happens to it when lightning strikes it.
What happens if you put soda in a natural volcano?
It will do nothing to the volcano.
Does lightning know things?
NO! Lightning doesn't have thoughts. Lightning happens when GOD makes it happen!
