If lightning strikes a lake will the fish die in it?
Fish in a lake where lightning strikes may experience shock or minor injuries, but they are unlikely to die because the electric current tends to dissipate quickly in water. Fish are well insulated due to the water's high resistance to electricity, so the effects are usually minimal.
If lightning hits a river do the fish die?
Fish in the water are at risk of being killed by lightning strikes, as the electrical current can travel through the water. However, the extent of the impact depends on various factors such as the distance from the lightning strike and the fish species. In general, fish closer to the strike are more likely to be affected.
What happens to the fish if the ocean is struck by lightning?
If lightning strikes the ocean, it is unlikely to harm the fish directly as the electrical current dissipates quickly in water. However, nearby fish could be affected by the sudden sound and turbulence caused by the strike. In rare cases, the shock waves from lightning could stun or kill fish in the immediate vicinity.
How many people die of lightning in a decade?
On average, about 28 people die of lightning strikes in the United States each year, which would amount to roughly 280 deaths in a decade.
When lightning strike the sea why don't all the fish die?
Some fish actually do die, if they are unfortunate to swim near where the lightning strikes. However, the electricity from the bolt of lightning is dispersed through the water only over a short distance. When lightning strikes the ocean, there is not enough electric current to lethally charge the worlds water supply, so most fish are safe. ----------- First of all, some fish do die. However the electricity dissipates (becomes weaker from the electricity spreading out) and there are a lot of fish in the oceans but there is so much water for them to be in. Have you heard the rumor that animals know when a storm is coming? A lot of them can tell by slight changes in the atmosphere such as pressure, temperature, and humidity. ---------- When water is struck, the power is transferred through millions of gallons of water to the ground and very limited amounts in comparison would affect fish. The fish may still feel a shock at a certain distance, especially due to their very sensitive lateral line, but it most likely would not cause any harm. --------- The short answer is that the effects of a lightning strike are very local, and anything outside the immediate range will be unharmed. -------- Since the lightning has to travel all the way to the ocean floor then the shock is not as strong as if the fish were in the air and the lightning struck them.
When lightning strikes the the sea why don't all the fish die?
Before a lightning strike, a charge builds up along the water's surface. When lightning strikes, most of electrical charge occurs near the water's surface. Most fish swim below the surface and are unaffected.
Impact on fish by lightning?
Not much really. A few unhappy creatures who are too close to lightning strikes may die, but that's about it.
If lightening strikes a pond do the fish die?
Fish in a pond struck by lightning may die due to the electrical charge passing through the water, which can cause injury or death. The extent of the impact on the fish depends on factors such as the strength of the lightning strike, how close the fish are to the strike, and the conductivity of the water.
If lightning strikes a lake will the fish die in it?

When lightning strikes do electric eels die?
yes
When lightnig strikes the sea why do not all the fish die?
Because the sea is deep. But some fish get zapped.

How many people die of lightning strikes in the US each year?
On average, about 20-30 people die from lightning strikes in the United States each year. However, this number can vary annually.
