When lightning strikes the ground, it creates Clinkers. These are carbon deposits similar to glass that form the structure of a tree, with loads of branches spliting off from the main trunk. The carbon (or glass) is formed due to the high temperature focused on the point where the lighting bolt earths into the ground. The sand and other minerals in ground are liquified where the electricity passes through. Clinkers can often be found and bought in good gem stores.

What happens after thunder strikes the ocean?

When thunder strikes over the ocean, it creates a loud noise due to the rapid expansion of air caused by the lightning. This sound may not travel as far over water compared to over land, but it can still be heard by people nearby. Lightning can also cause harm to any boats or structures on the water if it strikes directly.


Does lightning strike land or water more?

Lightning strikes land more frequently than water. While about 71% of the Earth's surface is covered by water, only about 5% of lightning strikes occur over oceans. This is primarily because thunderstorms, which produce lightning, are more likely to develop over land due to the presence of heat and rising air. However, when lightning does strike water, it can be dangerous, as the electrical current can spread out over the surface.
