Oak trees are more likely to be struck by lightning due to their height, size, and moisture content, which make them prominent targets during thunderstorms. Their tall and robust structure allows them to reach higher into the atmosphere, increasing the likelihood of a lightning strike. Additionally, the water-conducting tissues in oak trees can facilitate the flow of electricity, making them more conductive. This combination of factors contributes to their increased vulnerability to lightning strikes compared to shorter or drier trees.

Is it more likely for a person to be struck by lightning while standing below a tall tree or a short one.give reason?
It is more likely for a person to be struck by lightning while standing below a tall tree because lightning seeks the highest point to strike, and tall trees are more likely to attract lightning due to their height. Additionally, tall trees have a higher chance of being struck because they are more likely to be hit by the downward leader from a lightning bolt.
Are pine trees more or less likely struck by lightning?
A journal paper was published under the title of "Lightning protection for trees and related property" (R. Cripe, Journal of Arboriculture; Sept.24 2007) that notes Pine Trees are third most likely to be struck by lightning; after oak and elm. Pine trees are noted as being on average taller than other trees, having a direct water-table root system and their needles have a lower resistance (higher conductivity).

What does lighting strike the most?
Lightning is most likely to strike tall or pointed objects, such as trees, buildings, or lightning rods. These objects provide a pathway for the lightning to travel from the cloud to the ground. Areas with frequent thunderstorms and high levels of atmospheric instability are more prone to lightning strikes.
