When lightning strikes the sea do all the fish die?
No, not all fish die when lightning strikes the sea. Fish are generally insulated from the electrical current due to the water's resistance, and many can swim to deeper waters or hide in crevices to avoid direct contact with the electric discharge. However, some fish close to the strike may be affected.
If lightning strikes a lake will the fish die in it?
Fish in a lake where lightning strikes may experience shock or minor injuries, but they are unlikely to die because the electric current tends to dissipate quickly in water. Fish are well insulated due to the water's high resistance to electricity, so the effects are usually minimal.
How does lightning die?
Lightning is an atmospheric discharge of electricity, not a living entity. It does not die but rather dissipates when there is no longer a difference in electrical potential that can sustain the flow of current.
What happens to the fish if the ocean is struck by lightning?
If lightning strikes the ocean, it is unlikely to harm the fish directly as the electrical current dissipates quickly in water. However, nearby fish could be affected by the sudden sound and turbulence caused by the strike. In rare cases, the shock waves from lightning could stun or kill fish in the immediate vicinity.
When lightning strike the sea why don't all the fish die?
Some fish actually do die, if they are unfortunate to swim near where the lightning strikes. However, the electricity from the bolt of lightning is dispersed through the water only over a short distance. When lightning strikes the ocean, there is not enough electric current to lethally charge the worlds water supply, so most fish are safe. ----------- First of all, some fish do die. However the electricity dissipates (becomes weaker from the electricity spreading out) and there are a lot of fish in the oceans but there is so much water for them to be in. Have you heard the rumor that animals know when a storm is coming? A lot of them can tell by slight changes in the atmosphere such as pressure, temperature, and humidity. ---------- When water is struck, the power is transferred through millions of gallons of water to the ground and very limited amounts in comparison would affect fish. The fish may still feel a shock at a certain distance, especially due to their very sensitive lateral line, but it most likely would not cause any harm. --------- The short answer is that the effects of a lightning strike are very local, and anything outside the immediate range will be unharmed. -------- Since the lightning has to travel all the way to the ocean floor then the shock is not as strong as if the fish were in the air and the lightning struck them.
When lightning hits the sea why do all the fish die?
They don't. Some, real close to the strike point may well die. But those farther away will be just fine.
If lightening strikes a pond do the fish die?
Fish in a pond struck by lightning may die due to the electrical charge passing through the water, which can cause injury or death. The extent of the impact on the fish depends on factors such as the strength of the lightning strike, how close the fish are to the strike, and the conductivity of the water.
Why don't fish die when lightning hits the sea?
1. If it was a direct hit to a fish, or school, they would. 2. Weather, barometric pressure drives creatures to lower depths in effecting dissipating the charge through an enormous volume of water. 3. Ships have systems to arrest lightning. People and creatures do not.
Impact on fish by lightning?
Not much really. A few unhappy creatures who are too close to lightning strikes may die, but that's about it.
When lightning strikes the sea do all the fish die?

However, some fish close to the strike may be affected.
When lightning strikes the the sea why don't all the fish die?
Before a lightning strike, a charge builds up along the water's surface. When lightning strikes, most of electrical charge occurs near the water's surface. Most fish swim below the surface and are unaffected.
What will happen in a river with low dissolved oxygen content?
fish will die
Why were river systems so important?
if the systems are important because the fish will die
T or F Goldfish and jelly thrive in saltwater?
Gold fish are fresh water fish and will die in saltwater, but jelly fish are mainly saltwater fish. Yet, there is one species of jellyfish that is in a freshwater lakes , Allegheny River, Ohio River, and the Tennessee River, but it is not a true jellyfish.
What happens when weed killer and insecticides drain into streams and river?
Plant life , Fish , and the preditors that eat the fish die .
What is river pollution?
river pollution is where people or things throw rubbish or garbage or oil in rivers and lots of fish die
