What happens after thunder strikes the ocean?

When thunder strikes over the ocean, it creates a loud noise due to the rapid expansion of air caused by the lightning. This sound may not travel as far over water compared to over land, but it can still be heard by people nearby. Lightning can also cause harm to any boats or structures on the water if it strikes directly.

When a hurricane strikes land it becomes?

When a hurricane strikes land, it becomes less intense. This is because hurricanes rely on warm ocean waters to sustain their strength, and once they move over land, they lose their primary energy source. The friction from land also disrupts the storm's circulation, causing it to weaken.


How high can tsunami waves reach and what factors contribute to their maximum height?

Tsunami waves can reach heights of over 100 feet. The maximum height of a tsunami is influenced by factors such as the magnitude of the earthquake or underwater volcanic eruption that triggers it, the shape of the seafloor, and the distance the wave travels before reaching land.


What happens when light strikes a mirror?

When light strikes a mirror, it is reflected back at the same angle it hit the mirror, following the law of reflection. The angle of incidence (the angle at which the light beam strikes the mirror) is equal to the angle of reflection (the angle at which the light beam bounces off the mirror).

What happens when a tsuami hits land?

When a tsunami hits land, it can cause widespread flooding, destruction of buildings and infrastructure, and loss of life. The powerful force of the tsunami can carry debris and cause erosion of coastal areas, leaving behind a trail of devastation. It is important for people in coastal regions to evacuate to higher ground when tsunami warnings are issued to minimize the impact.
