Why doesn't lightning hit a place twice?
This is not true. Some places have been hit many times. The Empire State Building, for example, is hit by lightning an average of 100 times per year. If you looked at it from a simple perspective, most spots are never hit by lightning, but one bolt does not affect the chances of another striking. So the chances of the same spot getting hit twice completely at random are extremely low. However, lightning is not completely random. Tall objects naturally attract lightning, so objects such as towers and mountains tend to be struck fairly frequently.
When and where does lightning strike most often?
IN warm places or in the summer, mostly strikes men, on big open fields such as a golf courseFlorida! This is also where most old people retire, so maybe senior citizens attract lightning?!?
Some farmers feel that lightning helps produce a better crop.What is the scientific basis for belief?
The belief among farmers that lightning helps produce a better crop has no basis in science. This is simple considered an old wives tale. Perhaps during years of heavy lightning, farmers give the crops extra attention being motivated by the belief and this results in increased production.
When does lightning most often occur?
carry the six then use the quadratic formula negative b plus or minus the squrare root of b squared minus 4 ac all over 2
Does lightning have a beneficial effect on the earth?
The main effects on the earth by lightning is the production of forest fires and also the production of nitrate fertilizer into the soil. In one year lightning produces about 250,000 tons of usable nitrogen fertilizer. When people did not inhabit parts of the earth, or did not use fire, almost all forest fires were caused by lightning. Nowadays, most forest fires are caused by people. After a forest fire, when vegetation and trees grow back, the growth is strong and lush. The reason for this is probably twofold. The burnt plant matter is mineralized and becomes very good fertilizer for future plant growth. Additionally, old trees and vegetation gets burnt and removed, making room for new and possibly vigorous growth. This can function in a positive evolutionary way, since it provides a way for new plants and vetgetation to develop and even evolve. It gives evolution a better chance to work. However, these days with a high population of humans on the planet, there seem to be far too many forest fires. Many, or even most fires are deliberately set by thrill seekers or immature persons. It would seem that the effect of fires caused by lightning was more beneficial to the earth in the past when the human population of the earth was very low. In addition, the use of manmade nitrate fertilizer is much greater than that produced by lightning. A thunderstorm and lightning can produce negative ionization of the air, and it is claimed by some that this may improve a person's mood.
