What is a sudden electrical discharge that often accompanies thunderstorms?
A sudden electrical charge that accompanies thunderstorms is called lightning.
What causes the 5 elements of thunderstorms starting with lightning?
hummidity winds, thunder, lightning, winds
What tornadoes cause lightning?
Tornadoes themselves do not produce lightning. Lightning is typically associated with thunderstorms, which can be present in the same weather system as tornadoes. Lightning occurs due to the separation of positive and negative charges within a thunderstorm cloud.
Can earthquakes cause thunderstorms and lightning?
Earthquakes themselves do not directly cause thunderstorms and lightning. However, seismic activity can sometimes trigger small electrical discharges called "earthquake lights" that might be mistaken for lightning. Thunderstorms are typically caused by atmospheric conditions, not seismic activity.
What is the biggest danger from all thunderstorms?
The greatest hazard are strong winds, and possibly tornadoes, that can come from severe thunderstorms. Lightning is a constant danger, but very few lightning strikes cause damage or injury. It is more of a threat where it can cause wildfires. In addition to wind and lightning, thunderstorms can bring heavy rains that trigger flash floods and mudslides. Frequently they will generate hail that can be destructive to crops, or to windows, cars, and people if it reaches a large size.
How does a lightning flash begin?
in thunderstorms or lightning
Do thunderstorms make lighting or thunder?
Thunderstorms actually produce lightning and the thunder is from lightning crashing and hitting something
How are tornadoes and lightning related?
Tornadoes and lightning are often associated with severe thunderstorms. Lightning can occur before, during, or after a tornado is formed. Tornadoes can form within severe thunderstorms where there is intense updraft and rotation in the atmosphere, which can be fueled by lightning activity.
What are thunderstorms similar to?
lightning storms
Do thunderstorms cause lighting?
Yes. Thunderstorms cause the vast majority of lightning.
What is more ahead lightning or thunder?
thunderstorms
What Thunderstorms means?
A storm with lightning and thunder.
Does lightning occur in all thunderstorms?
No, not all thunderstorms produce lightning. Lightning occurs when there is a separation of charge within the clouds and between the clouds and the ground. Thunderstorms that don't have the necessary conditions for charge separation may not produce lightning.
What is the symbol for thunderstorms?
the symbol for thunderstorms is a capital T with a circle around it.
Do tornadoes cause lightning?
No. Since tornadoes form in thunderstorms they are usually accompanied by lightning, but they do not actually cause lightning.
Lighting without Thunder?
Lightning without thunder is not possible since thunder is directly caused by lightning. When lightning strikes, it superheats the air around it, causing it to rapidly expand and create a shock wave that we perceive as thunder. The closer you are to the lightning, the louder the thunder will be.
In addition to thunder what is another feature of thunderstorms?
Lightning
