What causes lightning in a snow storm?

Lightning can occur in snowstorms when there are strong updrafts and downdrafts present, along with the presence of charged particles in the atmosphere. These conditions can result in the separation of electric charges, leading to the discharge of lightning.


What is a storm tide?

A storm tide is an above-normal rise of water level caused by a storm, such as a hurricane or a tropical cyclone. It results from a combination of high astronomical tides and the low atmospheric pressure and strong onshore winds associated with the storm, leading to coastal flooding and potentially destructive impacts on coastal communities.


Explain what causes lightning and thunder?

Lightning is caused by the buildup of electric charges in a storm cloud. When the charge difference becomes strong enough, it discharges as a lightning bolt. Thunder is the sound produced by the rapid expansion and heating of air surrounding the lightning bolt.


Which weather variable would most likely decrease ahead of an approaching storm system?

Air pressure would most likely decrease ahead of an approaching storm system. This drop in pressure is due to the arrival of low pressure associated with the storm, which causes the air to rise and the pressure to fall.


What causes a sea breeze storm?

A sea breeze storm is caused by the collision of a cool sea breeze and a warm land breeze meeting, resulting in the development of convective storm clouds, lightning, and sometimes heavy rainfall. This collision occurs when the temperature difference between the land and sea is significant and triggers the formation of thunderstorms along the coast.
