Lighting is a form of what?
There are three [ 3 ] main types of lightning:Cloud to groundCloud to cloudIntercloudIn a clear calm atmosphere, electric charge is fairly uniform in the atmosphere. During a thunderstorm, due to the physical processes going on within and around a cloud, areas of the cloud build certain types of charge. The cloud to ground type of lightning, the most interesting and frightening, happens when a negative charge builds up in low levels of a cloud. The surface of the Earth is positively charged. Since these opposite charges attract, when the negative charge builds to a large enough point in the cloud to overcome air resistance, it rushes towards Earth's surface (stepped leader) and a positive charge rushes up from the ground to meet it. When these two charges meet, positive charge is transferred to the cloud, and a flash of lightning, visible to the human eye, is born.By: Kristhie I. Alcazar Hernandez ! :] ♥
