yes its because when water is frozen the mobility of the movement of the electrons within the ice is significantly reduced.as the icy lattice structure of the ice cube forms,the electrons become rigid, and unmoving and their ability to conduct electricity is reduced.

∙ 12y agoYes, lightning can travel through anything... Lightning will travel through ice better than it will travel through air because ice is more dense than air. Electricity will always take the quickest path to the ground, and if it has to go through ice to get there, it will. Electricity prefers to travel through ice over air.

Can lightning travel through a tree?
yes it can
Does lightning travel in a straight line?
no it does not
How far can lightning bolts travel?
They length of a lightning bolt is 2 to 3 miles long, and they can travel twice as far as there length, so the answer is they can travel 4 to 6 miles.
Why would you avoid metal during a lightning storm?
Because thunder is drawn to metal and if you touch metal and it gets hit the shock will travel through the object and shock you.
What would happen if lightning struck a meteor?
The lightning would travel through the meteor or through the plasma sheath around it. Some of the surface of the meteor may melt, though this will happen to a meteor anyway. Otherwise the meteor would be unaffected. The stress of atmospheric entry is much greater than any stress created by the lightning.
Can lightning travel through a tree?
yes it can
Does sound travel faster through ice snow water or steam?
what does sound travel through fastest ice,snow,water,steam
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.
What sound cant travel through?
sound can't travel through a vacuum. or a place without air.
Does lightning travel faster through dry air or moisture air?
It travels at the same speed.
Can lightning travel through rock?
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.
How did the lightning become lightning?
ice crystel striking each other
What cause lightning during a thunderstorm?
Since lightning is an electrical current, normally in a thunderstorm, little pieces of ice way up in the cloud collide together fast and hard, making an electrical charge, which then eventually makes an electrical current that is known as lightning.
Does lightning travel in a straight line?
no it does not
How lightning bolts travel?
fast
Does sound waves travel through ice or rock?
it travels through rock quickest even if they are both solids eking
