What else can I help you with?
Thunder occurs when positive and negative electrical charges build up in the clouds.?
False A+
Do lighting and thunder have the same cause?
No. Lightning is caused by electrical charges travelling from clouds to the earth, earth to clouds or cloud to cloud. Thunder is caused by lightning.
What does lightning results from?
The lightning happens because of the pressure of the clouds and it the lightning comes out from the clouds naturally.... (lightning are dangerous so don't try to go up and see if it is right or wrong
What kind of energy does clouds that produce lightning have?
Clouds that produce lightning have electrical energy. This energy is generated by the separation of positive and negative charges within a cloud, which results in the discharge of lightning as a way to balance these charges.
What type of force makes lightning and thunder?
Lightning is caused by the buildup of negative and positive charges in clouds, resulting in an electrical discharge between them. Thunder is the sound produced by the rapid expansion of air due to the intense heat generated by a lightning bolt.
What occurs when positive and negative electrical charges build up in clouds?
Lightning
What is kind of electric light?
Lightning is an electrical current that starts in clouds due to differences in electrical charges between parts of the clouds.
Thunder occurs when positive and negative electrical charges build up in the clouds.?
False A+
What makes electrical charges in clouds so they make lightning?
Hot air and cold air
Do lighting and thunder have the same cause?
No. Lightning is caused by electrical charges travelling from clouds to the earth, earth to clouds or cloud to cloud. Thunder is caused by lightning.

What is the purpose of lightning?
Lightning is simply a static electrical discharge between opposite charges between clouds, or the clouds and the ground. It occurs in order to cancel out opposing charge surpluses. Thunder is simply the concussion shock wave caused by the explosive heating and expansion of the air immediately around the bolt of lightning.
Where does lightning come from, and how does it interact with the ground?
Lightning is a discharge of electricity that occurs in thunderstorms. It forms when positive and negative charges build up in clouds and the ground, creating an electrical imbalance. When the difference in charges becomes too great, a lightning bolt is produced to equalize the charges. The bolt travels from the cloud to the ground or between clouds, following the path of least resistance. When it reaches the ground, it can cause damage by heating the air and creating a shock wave.
A sudden spark when electrical charges jump between nearby clouds or parts of a cloud or between a cloud and the ground?
That is true.
What occurs when positive and negative electrical changes build up in the clouds?
Eventually the two charges will have to balance out with what we call lightening?
What kind of energy does clouds that produce lightning have?
Clouds that produce lightning have electrical energy. This energy is generated by the separation of positive and negative charges within a cloud, which results in the discharge of lightning as a way to balance these charges.
Is lightning caused by electric charges in clouds?
Yes. Although the development of these charges is still mostly understood, the buildup of opposite charges in the clouds can create a discharge (lightning) between the cloud and the ground, or the cloud and another cloud. Sometimes the distribution of charges can be seen in a dendritic (forked) pattern of lightning bolts. (see related link)
