Can plants use pure nitrogen in the air after fixed by lightning?
Yes. Every lightening that strikes breaks apart, or fixes, pure nitrogen, changing it into a form that plants can use. This type of form falls to the ground when it rains.
Does the nitrogen in lightning turn grass green?
Yes. Lightning provides the intense energy needed to combine atmospheric nitrogen and oxygen into nitrates. The rain then carries these nitrates down to the earth's surface enriching the soil. Acting as a fertilizer, nitrates in an indirect way helps make the grass green.
Can lightning form anywhere in the world?
yes.
What is the only form of plasma on earth?
Lightning
Which can form parralel streaks of lightning?
ribbon
How does lightning effect the plants around the area in which it has hit?
it can burn the plants and it can also give off harmful chemicals to the plant. It can also burn and die if it does not have special care to it's self. Wow... Lightning turns nitrogen into a usable form for human consumption through plants. Lightning converts the nitrogen in the air from a gaseous form to a usable form for plants. This process is called "fixation". It does not burn plants or cause harmful chemical reactions of any kind.
Which gas is changed into a useful form for the plants by the bacteria in the soil?
Nitrogen
Can join together to form compounds?
YES!!!! Taking Sodium and Chlorine as an example. Sodium metal is an element. Chlorine gas is an element. Put them together in a gas jar and they will react to form the compound sodium chloride. In nature atmospheric nitrogen (an element) will react with atmospheric oxygen (also an element), when a lightning strike discharges, to form nitrogen oxides (compounds).
Which element found in the soil is used by plants in the form of chemical compounds?
Nitrogen is needed by plants and they get it from the soil in compounds that contain the nitrogen.
Can plants use pure nitrogen in the air after fixed by lightning?
Yes. Every lightening that strikes breaks apart, or fixes, pure nitrogen, changing it into a form that plants can use. This type of form falls to the ground when it rains.

Lightning forms in clouds.

Why is rhizobi a helpful bacteria?
Rhizobia are known as nitrogen fixation bacteria. Nitrogen is an essential element for plants and it is plentiful in the atmosphere but in a form that is inaccessible to plants. Rhizobia can convert atmospheric nitrogen into a form that plants can uptake through their roots.
What is the term for the biological process whereby atmospheric nitrogen is changed into a form usable by plants?
Nitrogen fixation.
When did the Tampa Bay lightning move into st petersburg times form?

What kind of cloud forms lightning?
Cumulonimbus clouds form lightning
What is the term for the biological process whereby atmospheric nitrogen is changed into a form of usable by plants?
Nitrogen is absorbed in plants with the help of specific bacteria.
