Why does thundering occur with out lightning?
While lightning produces very high temperatures, the amount of air it heats is fairly small. In most cases a bolt of lightning is a few miles away, too far away to feel the heat. People have felt the heat from lightning, but only when it struck dangerously close.
Why are you scared of lightning and thunder?
i am really scared of it can you help me please!!!!! - - Sudden, loud noises are always startling to people and animals. Repeated thunderclaps tend to make almost everyone edgy, even though thunder is harmless. Humans do have good reason to be afraid of lightning. In the US, lightning kills about 40 people each year and injures 360. The chances of being struck by lightning are very small, but it is still wise to avoid situations which would put you at greater risk, as the consequences can be very unpleasant.
Does Ireland have severe thunderstorms?
Absolutely NEVER. Irish weather is very mild. It may rain a lot, though not nearly as much as people complain it does but the rain is usually not very heavy. A constant drizzle is the most common type of rain. Once in a while you get heavier rain but not a lot. Thunder and lightning virtually never happen whatsoever in Ireland. I have only seen a lightning bolt once in Ireland and it was quite small. I did hear a clap of thunder once during the 2008 extremely heavy downpour (which also knocked out Cable TV for a few days). It was very loud but it was the one loan clap of thunder. Never heard another.
What is the real cause of thunder?
There are two causes of "Thunder" from lightning.the sudden increase in heat and pressure by the electric arc causes air to expand, and;the sudden removal of the arc (leaving a small vacuum) in its place, causes the air to rush back in.There is a lot of debate about which of these two are the main cause; general consensus is that both attribute to the sound.
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 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.
When lightning appears as small bursts in a dotted line it is called?
When lightning appears as small bursts in a dotted line, it is called sheet lightning. This type of lightning is caused by distant lightning flashes reflecting off clouds or atmospheric particles, creating a diffuse illumination in the sky.

Does lightning and thunder happen at the same time?
Yes, in fact it is fairly common for landfalling hurricanes to produce tornadoes. Often times on the northeast side of a hurricane (in northern hemisphere) there will be small tornadoes embedded within the rain bands. A perfect example is across South Carolina on Sept 7, 2004. Hurricane Frances hit along the gulf coast and moved up through Georgia. South Carolina got on the northeast side of the hurricane and over 40 tornadoes touched down in the state on that day directly caused by the outter rain bands of Hurricane Frances.
When lightning appears as small bursts in a dotted line what it is called?
A+ Beaded Lightning
How is espresso traditionally served, with what accompaniment?
Espresso is traditionally served in a small cup called a demitasse, accompanied by a small glass of water.
What happens to the ground when it is struck by lightning?
When lightning strikes the ground, it can create a small crater and melt the soil or sand in that area. The intense heat from the lightning can also cause the ground to expand rapidly, leading to a loud noise known as thunder. Additionally, the electrical current from the lightning can travel through the ground, potentially causing damage to nearby objects or structures.
A very rare type of lightning that appears as a reddish-colored sphere is called?
Ball lightning. It is a rare phenomenon where a small, glowing sphere appears during thunderstorms. This type of lightning is not well understood and can vary in size and color.
What is the definition of tornado?
A violent whirling wind; specifically (Meteorol.), a tempest distinguished by a rapid whirling and slow progressive motion, usually accompaned with severe thunder, lightning, and torrents of rain, and commonly of short duration and small breadth; a small cyclone.
