Fulgurites are objects of natural glass that are formed in certain instances when lightning strikes and fuses rock or silica sand. Technically, fulgerites are a form of igneous rock, but they are not referred to as 'lightning balls'. Ball lightning is a completely different and controversial topic.

Why do seismic waves travel faster through solid rock than through water?
Water has a higher density than rock. -Gordon Crocker
How do rock particles move during the passage of an s wave through the rock?
back and forth parallel to the direction of wave travel
Can lightning strike through windows?
A lightning bolt would explode the glass window before it would travel through the glass. Storm lightning is so fast that even if it were to go thru a window the window would shatter from the heat and speed. Glass is not a conductor so, being struck by lightning thru the window would take the Glass to shatter which would take two strikes. Other following ways are the only ways lighting can strike into a home. -Lightning can enter the home thru any of the 3 following ways. (1) a direct strike (2) through wires or pipes that extend outside the structure (3) through the ground. Regardless of the method of entrance, once in a structure, the lightning can travel through the electrical, phone, plumbing, and radio/television reception systems. Lightning can also travel through any metal wires or bars in concrete walls or flooring. Avoid contact with concrete walls which may contain metal reinforcing bars. Avoid washers and dryers since they not only have contacts with the plumbing and electrical systems, but also contain an electrical path to the outside through the dryer vent.
Why lightning shows an affinity to metals. After lightning strikes a place it is found to sort of seek metal objects.Some times it makes holes on mud walls to connect to a metal object inside.Why?
The atoms in metals are not connected to a peticular atom so they are allowed to travel without being stopped throughout the material. This creates a conductivity to electricity. Lightning tends to head twoards object with the most conductivity thus being metal. This is also why being in a car is the safest place to be in during a lightning storm. the lightning will travel through the metal frame around the car and if im not mistaken leave through the ground (the tires) in the end not harming you.
How far can lightning travel?
Lightning can strike up to 10 miles from it's parent storm cloud.
Can lightning travel through a tree?
yes it can
How does water travel through rock?
no
Does the Lightning bolt travel down from the cloud or up from the cloud?
The cloud sends down electrons to the ground and when it finds a substance lightning can travel through than a discharge travels up to the cloud, the lightning. If you stand on rubber lightning wont discharge.
Could lightning travel through the air as long as there is moisture?
lightning does not require water vapour in the air. It travels at light speed (approx) through an ionized path.
Through what do seismic waves travel fastest?
seismic wave travels faster through solid rock and slower through water, but i dont know why!
Which travels faster P waves or S waves?
p waves because they move rock back and forth which squeezes and strecthes the rock as they travel through the rock. s waves shear rock side to side as they travel through the rock
Does lightning travel faster through dry air or moisture air?
It travels at the same speed.
Does sound waves travel through ice or rock?
it travels through rock quickest even if they are both solids eking
What waves travel through rock with the greatest velocity?
seisemic
What happens if the pores within the rock layers are connected?
Then fluid can travel through the rock, and the rock is said to be "permeable".
Does sound travel through rock?
yes because of the vibration that goes through the rocks.
What Pokemon's are strong against lightning tipe Pokemon?
rock Pokemon can beat lightning and lightning attacks do not effect rock Pokemon
