Lightning is caused by a voltage difference between the clouds and Earth, or between clouds.
Radio waves do not cause lightning. Lightning is a natural electrostatic discharge caused by the buildup of electric charge in the atmosphere. While radio waves can interact with lightning strikes and create static interference, they do not directly cause the phenomenon.
Lightning does not directly cause earthquakes. Earthquakes are typically caused by the movement of tectonic plates or volcanic activity. Lightning is a discharge of atmospheric electricity within a thunderstorm that does not have an impact on the Earth's crust to cause earthquakes.
lightning causes muck fires :)
Tornadoes themselves do not produce lightning. Lightning is typically associated with thunderstorms, which can be present in the same weather system as tornadoes. Lightning occurs due to the separation of positive and negative charges within a thunderstorm cloud.
No, cosmic rays do not cause lightning. Lightning is typically caused by the buildup of charge within a thundercloud, leading to a discharge of electricity to the ground. Cosmic rays are high-energy particles from space that can interact with Earth's atmosphere but do not directly cause lightning.
No. Since tornadoes form in thunderstorms they are usually accompanied by lightning, but they do not actually cause lightning.

Lightning causes thunder. Lightning is a massive electrical discharge that you see as a bolt or flash of light. Thunder is the sound caused when the lightning superheats the air, creating a shockwave.

No, the force of friction does not cause lightning. Lightning is caused by the buildup of electrical charges in a cloud, leading to a discharge of electricity between the cloud and the ground or between clouds.
yes
No, clouds out of a blue sky would not affect lightning or lack of it
Lightning is created by a thunderstorm, not the other way around. Not all "thunderstorms" (cumulonimbus cloud formations) have lightning, but that is how they were named.
Yes. Thunderstorms cause the vast majority of lightning.
