Why won't wood from a tree hit by lightning burn?

Wood from a tree hit by lightning won't burn easily because the intense heat from the lightning strike can char the outer layer of the wood, creating a protective barrier that inhibits combustion. This char layer acts as an insulator, preventing oxygen from reaching the inner layers of the wood where combustion would occur. Additionally, the sudden and extreme heat generated by the lightning strike can also remove moisture from the wood, further reducing its flammability.


What are the effects does a lightning strike have on the body?

Lots. One strike once killed over 50 cows on a farm.Well, for one thing it can electricute you... Plus if it strikes a tree that tree could fall on a house, which could fall on someone, who could be severely injured for life, which could send that person's loved one iknto a depression.


Can you be struck by lightning while taking a shower?

Yes, you can. If lightening hits the pipes outside, the electricity can travel through the pipes and up into the bathtub through the drain. However, this rarely happens and I would not worry too much about it.Another AnswerThis is highly unlikely as, even if lighting should strike 'the pipes', it will seek the most direct path to earth (ground), so is unlikely to travel 'up the pipes', into the bathtub, and down 'through the drain'! Furthermore, the exposed metal parts of a bath must be 'bonded' to all other exposed metal parts adjacent to the bath, ensuring there is no potential difference between the bath (and anyone in it) and any surrounding pipework.


How does lightning kill a tree?

when lightning strikes a tree, the bolt goes down the trunk, and possibly can reach the center of the tree making the tree die. and then it leaves a BIG black spot on the tree where the bolt striked.


What lightning do to car alarms?

Lightning can potentially trigger car alarms due to the sudden surge of electricity it creates. The electrical disruption can interfere with the car's electronic systems, causing the alarm to go off. It is recommended to park in a garage during a thunderstorm to reduce the risk of this happening.
