The crashing or booming sound produced by rapidly expanding air along the path of the electrical discharge of lightning.
Thunderstorms result from the formation of cumulonimbus clouds, which are also called "thunderheads."
Thunder is a sound produced when air expands and contracts quickly. Air is instantly heated when lightning passes through it, causing the expansion. The hot molecules move outward and collide with colder molecules. A giant air wave results that produces the sound known as thunder.
What else can I help you with?
What costs thunder?
Did you mean 'what causes thunder'. I will say the answer for that question. It is actually the lightning that causes thunder. Lightning causes thunder by super-heating a small area of air which then causes an electric current. According to my knowledge, this is the answer for your question.
What causes continuous lightning without thunder?
Continuous lightning without thunder can be caused by a phenomenon called "heat lightning," which occurs when distant lightning flashes are too far away for the sound of thunder to be heard.
What characteristic of a lightning discharge causes thunder?
When a lightning discharge occurs, the air is heated greatly by the amount of voltage that discharged through the air (approx 100 million volts). The air expands and explodes at the speed of sound, creating thunder.
Why does lightning cause thunder?
Lightning is an electric discharge from the cloud to ground (although you can have other types, such as cloud to cloud). When the lightning strikes it heats up the surrounding air so fast that it causes an explosion, which is heard as thunder.
What causes the phenomenon of lightning in clouds without the accompanying sound of thunder?
Lightning in clouds without the sound of thunder is often caused by heat lightning. This type of lightning occurs when a storm is far away and the sound of thunder cannot travel as far as the light from the lightning.
What type of energy causes rumble of thunder?

Which phenomenon takes first'Lightning'or' Thunder'?
Lightning occurs very slightly sooner, and causes thunder.
What causes thunder after a lightning strike?
The electricity in the clouds.
What causes lightling and thunder?
static electricity generated in cumulonimbus clouds
Is thunder chemical energy?
Thunder is not chemical energy. It is a natural phenomenon that occurs as a result of the rapid expansion and contraction of air surrounding a lightning strike. This causes vibrations in the air, which we perceive as the sound of thunder.
Does thunder cause lightning or does lightning cause thunder. Explain?
Lightning causes thunder. Lightning is a massive electrical discharge that you see as a bolt or flash of light. Thunder is the sound caused when the lightning superheats the air, creating a shockwave.
