Does lightning occurs when the positive charge on a storm cloud causes charging by induction on the ground or another cloud?
Lightning occurs when the buildup of negative charge in a storm cloud causes the air to become electrically conductive. This can then lead to a discharge of energy in the form of a lightning bolt, either within the cloud (intracloud) or between the cloud and the ground (cloud-to-ground).
What in a cloud push down on the negative charges in the ground?
In a cloud, particularly during a thunderstorm, the buildup of negative charges occurs primarily at the base of the cloud due to the movement of water droplets and ice particles. This negative charge creates an electric field that polarizes the ground beneath the cloud, inducing a positive charge in the ground. The repulsion of negative charges in the ground and the attraction of positive charges towards the cloud results in a downward pull on the negative charges in the ground, which can lead to a discharge in the form of lightning.
What happens when a cloud touches the ground?
When a cloud touches the ground, it is known as fog. Fog occurs when the air near the ground cools and reaches its dew point, causing water droplets to condense and create a cloud-like appearance at the surface.
What is an electrical discharge between parts of cloud or a cloud and the ground is called?
That's called 'lightning'.
Does lighting come from the ground?
There are 3 main places lightening can travel from. The ground to a cloud, a cloud to a cloud, and the cloud to the ground.
Does lightning start from the ground and go up or start from the clouds and go down?
There are three types of lightening, There is Ground-to-cloud, Cloud-to-ground and cloud-to-cloud.
What is a cloud formed near the ground?
fogfogA cloud that forms close to the ground is known as a stratus cloud.
What rhymes with speak out loud?
a rainy cloud
You were told from a earth science teacher that lightning starts from the ground is this true?
There are many types of lightning STREAMERS that start a lightning strike. There are 3 basic places where streamers will originate from. They can come from a cloud to the ground or the ground to a cloud or from cloud to cloud. So your teacher was correct. But not always from the ground.
A funnel cloud touching the ground?
A funnel cloud that touches the ground is a tornado.
Is fog a ground level cloud?
Yes, fog is a ground level cloud.
When a tornado has not touched the ground yet what is it called?
When a tornado has not touched the ground yet, it is called a funnel cloud. A funnel cloud is a rotating cone-shaped cloud descending from the base of a thunderstorm but not reaching the ground. Once it touches the ground, it is classified as a tornado.
When a funnel cloud touches the ground it become a?
When a funnel cloud touches the ground it becomes a tornado.
What is the difference between a funnel cloud and tornado?
A funnel cloud is a rotating column of air that does not reach the ground, while a tornado is a funnel cloud that extends to the ground and causes damage. Both are formed from the same weather conditions and can be associated with severe thunderstorms.
How many different types of lighting strikes are there?
There are three main types of lightning strikes: cloud-to-ground strikes, intra-cloud strikes, and cloud-to-cloud strikes. Cloud-to-ground strikes are the most common and well-known type, where lightning extends from the cloud to the ground. Intra-cloud strikes occur within the cloud itself, and cloud-to-cloud strikes happen between different clouds.
What is the process that changes cloud into fog?
Fog is a cloud on the ground.
