What do you call a lightning bolt coming from the ground?
Lightning is an electric current. Within a thundercloud way up in the sky, many small bits of ice (frozen raindrops) bump into each other as they move around in the air. All of those collisions create an electric charge. After a while, the whole cloud fills up with electrical charges. The positive charges or protons form at the top of the cloud and the negative charges or electrons form at the bottom of the cloud. Since opposites attract, that causes a positive charge to build up on the ground beneath the cloud. The grounds electrical charge concentrates around anything that sticks up, such as mountains, people, or single trees. The charge coming up from these points eventually connects with a charge reaching down from the clouds and hit the highest point. There isn't any lightning that originates from the ground.
Why does the surface temperature of the ground increase on a calm clear night as low cloud cover moves overhead?
Low cloud cover can act like a blanket, trapping the heat radiated by the Earth's surface and preventing it from escaping into the atmosphere. This phenomenon, known as the greenhouse effect, causes the surface temperature of the ground to increase on calm clear nights when low clouds move overhead.
When pore spaces in the ground are holding as much water as they possibly can the ground is?
what happens to the ground is it is stripped of its oxygen levels and the water begins to overflow and run off
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.
How does static charge build up in a thundercloud?
Static charge builds up in a thundercloud through a process called ice crystal collision. Within the cloud, ice crystals of different sizes and weights collide, causing electrons to be stripped from lighter particles and accumulate on heavier particles. This separation of charge creates areas of positive and negative charges within the cloud, which eventually lead to lightning discharge.
