the lightning heats up the sand causing the silica in the sand to melt causing natural glass
these are called "fulgurites". and yes, this is awesome.

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.

What else can I help you with?
Can sand turn into glass?
Yes, when sand is heated to very high temperatures (around 1700 degrees Celsius), it can melt and then cool to form glass. This process is commonly used to make glass objects such as windows, bottles, and containers.
Can glass turn back into sand?
Kinda-sorta. Finely crushed glass will behave pretty much like sand. You won't get the same color though.
How can you melt sand to make glass?
To turn sand into glass, it needs to be heated to around 1700 degrees Celsius (3090 degrees Fahrenheit). This high temperature melts the sand and fuses the silica together, creating glass. The molten glass can then be shaped and cooled to harden into the desired form.
Is sand in glass?
Not exactly. Sand contains silica which is one of the most abundant compounds on earth. The sand is melted down and molded into glass. One notable difference, though is that in sand the silica is crystalline while in glass it is amorphous.
Is glass absorbent?
Glass can absorb heat and sound. Glass can be formed or molded into any shape. Silica is a common constituent of glass. In nature, when lightening strikes sand, it forms hollow, branching root like structures called fulgurite.
Can lightening make glass?
Yes, if lightning strikes sand (as on a beach), the intense heat of the lightning strike can fuse the sand into glass.
Is glass bio-degradable?
Yes it is. It's basic ingredient is sand. It take a long time but wind borne dirt and dust or water current wears glass back down to sand crystals. Lightening strikes on beaches or deserts can create natural glass.

How do you turn sand into glass?
With a high concentration of heat and pressure The common glass in window also contains about 75% silica
How do you make fulgurite on alchemy classic?

Is glass made out of glass or something else?
Glass is made out of sand Glass is made of sand.
How do you make time in little alchemy?

At what temperature does sand turn into glass?
Sand typically turns into glass at temperatures around 1700°C to 2000°C, depending on the type of sand and the specific composition of the glass being produced. At these temperatures, the sand melts and fuses together to form a uniform, transparent material we know as glass.
Is sand made out of glass?
yes glass is made out of sand
