Why does thunder ussually occur during storms that have lightning flashes?
The thunder is the sound of lightning but you only hear the thunder after the flash because lightning is faster than the speed of sound.
Are thunder and lightning snow storms normal?
No, thunder and lightning are typically associated with warm weather storms. Snow storms do not usually produce thunder and lightning because the conditions needed for these phenomena are different. Thunder and lightning occur when there is unstable air and strong updrafts, which are not common in snow storms.
Why does thunder usually appear during storms that have lightning?
Thunder is the sound produced by the rapid expansion of air surrounding a lightning bolt due to the intense heat. This expansion creates a shock wave that we hear as thunder. So, thunder is typically associated with storms that have lightning because the two phenomena occur simultaneously.
Does it thunder and lighting every time it rains?
No. It is very common for rain to occur without thunder or lightning.
Is there lightning and thunder during typhoon?
Yes, lightning and thunder can occur during typhoons. Typhoons are intense tropical storms that can produce severe weather conditions including heavy rain, strong winds, and lightning strikes. Thunder is produced by lightning and can be heard during a typhoon.
Why does thundering occur with out lighting?
Thunder is caused by the rapid expansion and contraction of air surrounding a lightning bolt. While thunder is typically associated with lightning, it is possible to hear thunder without seeing the associated lightning if the lightning is occurring far away or behind clouds. This phenomenon is known as "heat lightning."
Do all thunder storms produce lightning?
No. Occasionally storms occur and there is no rain. This happens most often in arid regions. In many cases the rain falls, but evaporates before reaching the ground, a phenomenon called virga.
Why does thunder usually occur during storms that have lightning flashes?
Opposite electrical charges inside storm clouds separate, causing lightning to flash towards Earth. Lightning has enough energy to heat the air all around it. This sudden burst of heat is what causes the noise we know as thunder.
Where does a thunderstorm mostly occur?
were do thunder storms occur
What is it called when lightning and thunder occur together?
When lightning and thunder occur simultaneously, it is known as a lightning strike. Lightning is the electrical discharge seen in the sky, while thunder is the sound produced by the rapid expansion and contraction of air around the lightning bolt.
Does it need to be raining for thunder and lightning to occur?
No, it doesn't need to rain for thunder and lightning to occur because the thunder and lightning need cold and warm air so they collide. The clouds are like big batteries and the lightning is the short circuit. also the lightning can be between the clouds and it doesn't strike down to the ground. also if the clouds have temperature conditions and it doesn't have to rain it just creates thunder and lightning.
Why would you have to watch out if the flash of lightning and the sound of thunder seemed to occur together?
If thunder and lightning occur together close to you, you are dangerously close to a lightning bolt.
