What happens when lightning strikes lava?

When lightning strikes lava, it can cause the surface of the lava to quickly cool and solidify, creating unusual formations known as fulgurites. These are hollow, glassy tubes that form when the intense heat of the lightning strike fuses the minerals in the lava together. It can also trigger small explosions or release gases trapped within the lava.


What happens to the glass ball on a lightning rod if it gets struck by lightning?

If a glass ball on a lightning rod is struck by lightning, it may shatter due to the extreme heat generated by the lightning strike. Additionally, the lightning may travel through the rod to the ground, protecting the building from damage.


When lightning hits a lightning rod where does the lightning go?

When lightning strikes a lightning rod, the rod provides a path of least resistance for the electricity to travel safely to the ground. The lightning is then conducted harmlessly into the earth, minimizing the risk of damage to nearby structures.


If a lighting strike hits a tornado what happens?

If lightning strikes a tornado, it can increase the intensity of the tornado but doesn't fundamentally change its behavior. Instead, the tornado may briefly light up and become more visible. Lightning hitting a tornado is a rare occurrence due to the unpredictability of both weather phenomena.


What is snow lightning?

Snow lightning is when it is snowing and there is lightning at the same time. It occurs because of the same principles of storm cloud lightning: convergence of distinct temperatures, heavy particles in clouds, and ionized air.
