It would create glass considering the heat of the lightning and that sand turns to glass when hot enough.

No, lightning is not attracted to sand blasting dust.
Sand that has been melted by lightning is called fulgurite.
the lightning heats up the sand causing the silica in the sand to melt causing natural glassthese are called "fulgurites". and yes, this is awesome.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fulgurite____________What happens in the above answer occurs when HEAT strikes sand, not lightning (although lightning has extreme heat, this is not the correct answer). Sand is considered "ground" if you are touching sand during a thunderstorm you are grounded.(: Hey!!
Yes, if lightning strikes sand (as on a beach), the intense heat of the lightning strike can fuse the sand into glass.
Because the lightning strike is so hot it melts the sand and cools and turns into glass

If lightning strikes sand, glass is formed.
The subject is bolt.Of lightning is a prepositional phrase that supplements the subject, can melt is the verb, and sand is the direct object.
A fulgorite, a knobbly, uneven rod of fused sand may form when lightning strikes sand.
It is possible that the sand may fuse together into larger conglomerations of sand, or rough glass.
When lightning strikes sand it create what is called a folgerite
13000 people have died from lightning in a 100 year and it is acally the copllor red
It would depend on who owns the sand
== == Yes. Lightning is a source of high voltage, high energy electrical impulse which can start fires, destroy rock, kill people and yes, even melt sand.
How the....? Sand plus lightning makes glass. I don't know if thats the only way, but I know it does.
The energy of a lightning bolt striking in sand can heat the sand and fuse it into simple glass. The glass forms as tubes called fulgurites (thunderbolt rock) and the material is called lechatelierite.
Yes it does. The sand is formed into a substance called fulgurite by the heat of the lightning. Below is a link to a company that sells several examples. http://www.sciencemall-usa.com/fulgurites2.html
I would just call it "lightning striking sand".
There are different kinds of sand which produce different kinds of glass when melted, but sand can certainly produce a green glass when melted by lightning.
It turns into a rock called fulgurite (fused quartz). When sand is struck by lightning, the silica in the sand melts and fuses, forming a glass tube called fulgurite. Fulgurite is generally rare, but can be found all over the world. The fulgurite can be a variety of different colors depending on the mineral content of the sand. (see related link)
lightning originates from electric particles in the sky that cicrulate around in the thunder cloud, then hit the ground. sometimes, lighting can create a 'statue' in the sand on beaches in the sand because it melts the sand together. Lighting can originate from the ground to a cloud, from a cloud to the ground or cloud to cloud.
At the direct spot of the strike probably charred, but going outwards probably just like normal sand.
Sand can be melted by bringing its temperature to over 4,000 degrees F. With controlled cooling, the molten sand will turn into a glass. Sand can also be glassified by lightning strike, nuclear explosion, or meteor impact.
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.
