There are two categories of energy, kinetic and potential. Most of the energy of a thunderstorm is in the form of kinetic. These include:
- Electrical - lightning discharge.
- Thermal - a thunderstorm itself is an illustration of thermal energy at work; thunderheads are nature's heatsinks. Additionally, the temperature produced by lightning discharge can exceed 3000 degrees fahrenheit.
- Radiant - This is the light produced by lightning.
- Motion - rain falling, wind blowing, concussion of thunder.
- Sound - the clap of thunder, the rasp of falling rain and drip of water.
- Chemical - besides the potential for acid rain, water itself is a chemical.

∙ 9y agoOther than light and sound, electricity is often present during a thunderstorm. The light is caused by lightning which is from electricity.

Which rock type is associated with a high-energy environment?
The rock type that is associated with a high-energy environment is sedimentary. High-energy environments usually produce sedimentary rocks with larger grain sizes.
What type of energy is transferred in lightning?
electric energy
Which type of particles will gather near the bottom of the storm cloud if it releases electrical energy as lightning?
positive and negative have the same change
What is the most dangerous type of lightning?
I hope this is helpful... ... the most dangerous type of lightning is cloud to ground lightning. see was that so bad
Type of lightning that branches across the sky?
cloud to cloud lightning
What is another type of energy associated by lightning?
Thunder because of the sound it makes.
What type of energy is associated with the position of an object?
Potential energy is associated with the position of an object.
What form of energy is lighting?
Light is a type of energy known as radiant energy.
What type of energy is associated with the temperatue of an object?
It is themal energy.
What type of energy is associated with an electrical current?
Magnetic Energy
What type of energy is associated with motion of atoms?
Thermal energy.
What type of energy is associated with food?
That's food energy, which is a subset of chemical energy.
What type of weather is associated with cyclone?
Anticyclones usually bring clam, sunny weather.
Is lightning an example of heat energy?
No. Lighting is not the source, lightning is multiple types of energy. At first lightning is electric but when it strikes the energy converts its self into light and heat in which the lightning becomes visible. There is a law of energy stating that: Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only changed in form. Some various forms of energy might be chemical, nuclear, electrical, mechanical, heat, and waves/radiation (light). Lightning does not create energy, it simply transforms its type of energy and transfers it to another object, whether that object be air, a cloud, ground etc.
Which rock type is associated with a high-energy environment?
The rock type that is associated with a high-energy environment is sedimentary. High-energy environments usually produce sedimentary rocks with larger grain sizes.
When lightning strikes you can see the light energy being produced. What type of energy produces the thunder?
Heating of the air.
What can you convert into energy?
You can convert one type of energy into another type of energy.
