positive and negative charges
No. Static energy is present, whether charges (such as protons, or electrons) move, or not.
Friction is the force that causes static charge
Two causes of static energy are friction between two materials, leading to the transfer of electrons from one material to another, and the separation of positive and negative charges on objects due to external factors like rubbing or contact with different materials.
Electricity is the force of what causes static cling in a dryer.
static energy obviously can not be created or destroyed
No, thunder is a result of lightning lightning on the other hand is an example of electrical energy, it is called static discharge,or static energy... Thunder is usually classified as sound energy, i.e. a pressure disturbance travelling through the air. The atmospheric electrical discharge that we call "lightning" causes sudden heating of the air, which causes its sudden expansion, which is what produces the pressure disturbance.
Static energy is when two objects are rubbed together and then cause a friction.
no
The force of static electricity is what causes static cling in a dryer. As clothes tumble in the dryer, friction between different fabrics generates an imbalance of electric charge, leading to the attraction between clothing fibers that results in static cling.
Electrostatic potential energy
Because sometimes the universe is shaking, and that is what causes it.
yes
