Lightning has enough energy to break the incredibly strong bonds between molecules of nitrogen gas, producing nitrogen radicals that bond with other radicals in the atmosphere to produce molecules that plants can harness for growth. N2-> 2N 2N+ 202-> 2NO2
Lightning is important because it helps to balance the Earth's electrical charge, contributes to the nitrogen cycle by causing nitrogen to fix in the soil, and can trigger wildfires that play a role in maintaining ecosystems.

Lightning helps in the production of a form of nitrogen. Lightning causes oxygen and nitrogen in the atmosphere to chemically react to combine and form nitrogen oxide, a key ingredient in many fertilizers.
Lightning produces nitrogen oxides, which are pollutants that can contribute to smog and acid rain when they react with other compounds in the atmosphere.
Yes, lightning can provide a small amount of nitrogen to the soil by converting atmospheric nitrogen into a form that plants can use. However, this contribution is minimal compared to other natural processes like nitrogen fixation by bacteria.

Yes, only an extremely small amount of reduced nitrogen is fixed by lightning.
Not directly, but lightning helps fix nitrogen, which is necessary for plant growth.
The three processes that fix atmospheric nitrogen are nitrogen fixation by bacteria, lightning-induced nitrogen fixation, and industrial nitrogen fixation through the Haber-Bosch process.

Yes. Lightening can fix nitrogen from the atmosphere into the soil, making nitrogen available to the plants and ultimately animals in an ecosystem.
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.

Nitrogen is the most abundant element in the Earth's atmosphere. Bacteria in the soil 'fix' the nitrogen gas into compounds which can be taken in by plants; the plants get eaten by animals & they use the nitrogen to make proteins.
Nitrogen-fixing bacteria and lightning are the primary natural processes that fix atmospheric nitrogen, converting it into forms that plants can use. In addition, industrial processes like the Haber-Bosch process are used to produce nitrogen fertilizers for agriculture.
