A thunder storm is one in which a large amount of thunder is heard. Thunder is caused by lightning; it would be more correct to say that a thunderstorm only occurs with lightning strikes.

Why do many cows die during a thunderstorm even though the lightning do not strike them directly?

They don't.

Does lightning strike land or water more?

Lightning strikes land more frequently than water. While about 71% of the Earth's surface is covered by water, only about 5% of lightning strikes occur over oceans. This is primarily because thunderstorms, which produce lightning, are more likely to develop over land due to the presence of heat and rising air. However, when lightning does strike water, it can be dangerous, as the electrical current can spread out over the surface.

Why the thunder lighting hits only coconut tree?

Thunderstorms are more likely to strike tall, isolated objects, and coconut trees fit this description due to their height and structure. The high moisture content in coconut trees can also make them more conductive. Additionally, their location in tropical regions, where thunderstorms are common, increases the likelihood of lightning strikes. However, it's important to note that lightning can hit various types of trees, not just coconut trees.
