Lightning forms when charges drop to the lower parts of a cloud and charges build up on the ground below?
When clouds become charged due to the separation of positive and negative charges, lightning can occur when the electrical imbalance is released as a bolt of electricity. This discharge can happen within a cloud, between clouds, or from a cloud to the ground.
Can lightning come from the ground, or does it only originate from the sky?
Lightning can come from the ground as well as from the sky. It can occur when a discharge of electricity happens between a cloud and the ground, or between two clouds.
You were told from a earth science teacher that lightning starts from the ground is this true?
There are many types of lightning STREAMERS that start a lightning strike. There are 3 basic places where streamers will originate from. They can come from a cloud to the ground or the ground to a cloud or from cloud to cloud. So your teacher was correct. But not always from the ground.
What is the most dangerous type of lightning?
I hope this is helpful... ... the most dangerous type of lightning is cloud to ground lightning. see was that so bad
What happens to the ground when there is a thundercloud overhead?
When a thundercloud is overhead, the intense electric fields generated can induce a positive charge on the ground below. This in turn can result in the ground becoming positively charged, leading to a potential difference between the cloud and the ground. If the potential difference becomes large enough, it can result in a lightning discharge.
What happens when water disappears from the ground?
It turns into a cloud
Temperatures in a cloud are below freezing a warmer air lies between the cloud and the ground what type of precipitation do you predict will occur?
Snow will form because snow falls through colder and drier air:)
What happens when snowflakes grow heavy inside a cloud?
they fall toward the ground. by khulood
What happens when a cloud touches the ground?
When a cloud touches the ground, it is known as fog. Fog occurs when the air near the ground cools and reaches its dew point, causing water droplets to condense and create a cloud-like appearance at the surface.
What happens before lightning strikes?
Before lightning strikes, electrical charges build up within a storm cloud. As the charges separate, a negative charge forms at the bottom of the cloud and a positive charge builds up on the ground below. When the difference in charge becomes strong enough, a conductive path is created for the lightning bolt to travel between the cloud and the ground.
Does lighting come from the ground?
There are 3 main places lightening can travel from. The ground to a cloud, a cloud to a cloud, and the cloud to the ground.
Lightning forms when charges drop to the lower parts of a cloud and charges build up on the ground below?
When clouds become charged due to the separation of positive and negative charges, lightning can occur when the electrical imbalance is released as a bolt of electricity. This discharge can happen within a cloud, between clouds, or from a cloud to the ground.
What happens before there is a lightning discharge?
The cloud's strong negative charge attracts the ground's positive charge
How does ligtning happen?
lightning sometimes happens between clouds some times in the rain it goes from cloud to ground if it goes from cloud to ground it might stike someone. 200 people have been stuck by lightning.
Does lightning start from the ground and go up or start from the clouds and go down?
There are three types of lightening, There is Ground-to-cloud, Cloud-to-ground and cloud-to-cloud.
When the temperature of a cloud is below negative 18 degrees Celsius the cloud consists almost entirely of?
When the temperature of a cloud is below -18 degrees Celsius, the cloud consists almost entirely of ice crystals. These ice crystals can grow in size and may eventually fall to the ground as snow if they reach a sufficient size.
What happens before the tornado hits the ground?
Before a tornado hits the ground, a rotating column of air forms in the storm cloud known as a funnel cloud. This funnel cloud extends towards the ground, and once it makes contact, the tornado is then officially considered to have touched down.
