Does lightning strike land or water more?
Lightning strikes land more frequently than water. While about 71% of the Earth's surface is covered by water, only about 5% of lightning strikes occur over oceans. This is primarily because thunderstorms, which produce lightning, are more likely to develop over land due to the presence of heat and rising air. However, when lightning does strike water, it can be dangerous, as the electrical current can spread out over the surface.
Dose lightning kill more people than tornadoes?
Lightning typically kills more people than tornadoes each year. Lightning strikes can be unpredictable and widespread, causing fatalities due to direct strikes or related injuries. Tornadoes are less common but can cause significant damage and casualties when they occur.
Are tornadoes or lightning stronger?
a tornado is because it has more kinetic energy
Does lightning kill more people than Hurricanes or tornadoes?
No, lightning typically kills fewer people than hurricanes or tornadoes. On average, lightning causes around 30-60 deaths per year in the United States, while hurricanes and tornadoes can cause hundreds of deaths in a single event.
LIGHTNING NEVER STRIKES TWICE IN THE SAME PLACE. IT IS THE MYTH OR A FACT?
Lightning can strike anywhere and it is certain that over geological time ALL places on Earth have been struck more than once. In cases where something on the surface may build up an electrical charge at a point (eg a lightening rod) then the lightning will certainly strike it much more frequently. Also if one films a SINGLE lightning strike at high speed, it is clear that what we see as a single strike is in fact many strikes, one after the other using the same ionised discharge path between the sky and earth. So a single lightning bolt actually strikes the same place more than once.
Do people die more from lightning or tornadoes?
On average tornadoes kill more people than lightning
Does Floridas have tornadoes?
Florida frequently has tornadoes, though several states have more tornadoes annually.
What is the difference between pos and neg lightning strike?
A positive lightning strike carries a higher voltage and occurs less frequently than a negative lightning strike. Positive lightning strikes are also known to travel longer distances and have the potential to cause more damage compared to negative lightning strikes.

In which state do tornadoes more frequently happen Iowa or Vermont?
No. Texas gets more tornadoes than any other state.

Are more frequently in the US than any were else in the world?
Tornadoes

What happen if a lightning and tornado and earthquake happen in the same time?
Lightning frequently accompanies tornadoes anyway. On the unlikely even that a tornado occurred during an earthquake, there would probably be more damage than either of the two could do on their own.
Can lightning strike aluminum?
Yes, aluminum is a good conductor of electricity, so it can attract lightning strikes. However, lightning is more likely to strike taller objects that provide a path of least resistance to the ground.
