Lightning is not inside a volcano. When a volcano erupts, it explodes and heats rocks into small particles. These particles are ejected into the normal cloud base above the area. This creates a storm with its own weather pattern. With differences in air temps and clouds heavy with heated particles, ions start to be irritated from each other. Lightning results.

What happens if lightning stricks a volcano?

I believe it has to do with the ash that is ejected violently from the volcano, which in doing so suffer a lot of friction becoming charged with electricity. Then at some point, that electricity needs to flow to the ground, via lightning..


The thunder comes before the lightning the lightning comes before the clouds The rain dries everything it touches?

This a riddle. It has been given as "My thunder comes before my lightning. My lightning comes before my rain. My rain dries everything it touches. What am I?"One suggestion is a volcano. It's roar comes before it spews out fiery magma, and possibly lightning occurs in the subsequent clouds above the volcano. Then it rains hot ash, which certainly dries everything it touches.

What happens when lightning strikes lava?

When lightning strikes lava, it can cause the surface of the lava to quickly cool and solidify, creating unusual formations known as fulgurites. These are hollow, glassy tubes that form when the intense heat of the lightning strike fuses the minerals in the lava together. It can also trigger small explosions or release gases trapped within the lava.


How does volcanic activity change the level of gases in the air?

When a volcano erupts, it releases many gasses into the air, but most of it is water vapor. Other gasses include CO2 and hydrogen. Also an interesting side note, if you Google "volcanic lightning" you will see that the lightning produced by volcanoes is a different color than regular lightning. This is because lightning is produced within the different gasses (other than oxygen, which is blue lightning).


Where was the Zeus' lightning bolt made?

Really it is unsure. In the myth, as I know it, Zeus's lightning bolt was made by cyclopes (multiple cyclops), but that is as far as I remember it. I think it said inside Mount Olympus. I think it also said something about a volcano.
