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 causes the 5 elements of thunderstorms starting with heavy rain?
Heavy rain in thunderstorms is typically caused by strong updrafts lifting moisture-laden air to higher altitudes, where it cools and condenses into raindrops. These updrafts are fueled by the release of latent heat as water vapor condenses. Additionally, the presence of an unstable atmosphere with sufficient moisture and strong atmospheric lifting mechanisms can contribute to heavy rain in thunderstorms.
What is the cause of storms?
Cold air from the upper atmosphere mixing with warmer, moist air closer to the earth causes thunderstorms, sometimes with lightning.
What is it called when lightning strikes the ground?
Static discharge is causes the spark that is seen when electricity in a thunderhead discharges. The most common name for this type of spark or discharge is lightening.
What causes thunderstorms and typhoons?
The atmosphere's response to solar heating.

What types of damage do thunderstorms do?
Thunderstorms have lightning which cause many fires around. It also causes death, for when people have been struck by it. The rain of thunderstorms can cause flash floods, also. The thunderstorm can damage many things like man-made things, and even wildlife.

What is the leading cause of death associated with thunderstorm?
One of the primary causes of death associated with thunderstorms, electrocute humans and livestock, and is the leading cause of farm fires.
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 movement of air inside a storm cloud causes parts of the cloud to become what?
The movement of air inside a storm cloud causes collisions between water droplets, which may cause parts of the cloud to become charged. This charge separation leads to electrostatic forces that can result in lightning and thunderstorms.
Do isolated thunderstorms include lightning?
Yes. A storm must produce lightning in order to be considered a thunderstorm. It is a thunderstorm because of the thunder common in such storms. Thunder is caused by the lighting. The lightning going through the air causes an increase in air pressure and temperature forcing the air to move fast enough to cause a sonic boom which is the thunder.
What causes winds to deviate from straight-line path?
Thunderstorms :)
What causes thunderstorms and typhoons?
The atmosphere's response to solar heating.
Why is lightning in the winter so rare?
because the atmosphere is more stable. during the summer, the earth is heated unevenly (either the north or south hermispheres), with causes convection currents in the atmoshere-which causes our weather-and creates static in the form of lightning. in the winter, this is less likely to happen, therefore lightning in the winter is rare.
