Thunderstorms and Lightning

A jolt of lightning is a sudden, intense burst of electrical energy generated by a thunderstorm. It is typically visible as a bright flash in the sky and can be accompanied by a loud thunderclap. Lightning strikes can be dangerous and cause damage to structures and harm to living beings.

Ball lightning is usually associated with thunderstorms, but lasts considerably longer than the split-second flash of a lightning bolt. Many of the early reports say that the ball eventually explodes, sometimes with fatal consequences, leaving behind the odor of sulfur. I think that when lightning flashes electric magnetic fields combine and get the end of the lightning bolt and curve it baking it into a ball. watch this video of ball lightning at www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4vV3KxQ16c

There are a number of ways. Lighing strikes can damage buildings, knock down trees, and start fires. Floods can cause major damage to property. Hail can be damaging to crops and perperty, especially vehicles. Severe wind gusts can topple trees and damage buildings. The worst thunderstorms can spawn highly destructive tornadoes.

No. I have actually had a few horses that have been struck by lightning, and all were dead.

High frequency hearing is typically lost first due to exposure to loud noises and aging, as the hair cells in the inner ear that detect high frequencies are more vulnerable. Low frequency hearing tends to be more resilient and is usually lost later in the hearing loss process.

A pleasant sound is one that is soothing, pleasing, and harmonious to the ears. It can evoke positive emotions, relaxation, and a sense of well-being in listeners. Examples include gentle rainfall, soft music, and birds chirping.

Yes, it is possible to get struck by lightning in a convertible, just like any other vehicle. However, the risk is lower compared to being outside in an open area due to the metal frame providing some protection and the tires isolating the car from the ground. It's still important to avoid driving during thunderstorms to stay safe.

The atmosphere is primarily composed of nitrogen followed by oxygen. The nitrogen concentration is some 78 percent by volume.

Meteorologists can predict when and where thunderstorms are "likely" but cannot precisely forecast their severity or persistence, as these are governed by complex factors including ground heating, topography, and variations in winds.

Yes. Frequency is the number of cycles per second. Wavelength is how long it takes for the wave to complete one cycle. They are inversely proportional, which means in essence that as one goes up the other goes down.

40 people in the UK last year had died by lightening

here... i was doing a project and i did the exact same answer

The plot of the story is Percy Jackson is 12 years old and has ADHD and dlslexia. He has been expelled from several schools.

Later on vacation his friend Grover revealing to be a satyr urgently tells Percy's mom that Percy must go to a certain camp. While they are driving towards the camp they are attacked by a Minotaur. The Minotaur grabs Percy's mom and dissolves into a golden shower of light while Percy and Grover nearly escape. The next day Percy wakes up and discovers that he has arrived in Camp Half-Blood. Thereafter Percy moves into Hermes cabin under the care of Luke During a capture the flag game Percy is attacked by the children of Ares.

As they travel to Los Angeles they encounter many greek monsters and the war god Ares who tells Percy that his mother is still alive. They reach the Underworld and Percy Confronts Hades who also believes Percy stole the Master Bolt and the Helm of Darkness. Percy realizes Ares tricked him when he discovers the bolt in his backpack. He flees from the underworld but forced to leave his mother behind. Percy then fights and defeats Ares and gives Percy the Helm of Darkness which Percy returns to Hades. Percy reaches New York City and gives the master bolt to Zeus at the top of the Empire State Building. Percy returns to camp and meets Luke that he stole the lightning bolt for Kronos. He calls out a poisonous scorpion which stings and almost kills Percy. Chiron cures him and Percy leaves to attend another school found by his mother.

In India, you can say "Namaste" as a general greeting any time of day. If you specifically want to say "good afternoon," you can say "Shubh Sandhya."

When a liquid changes slowly to a gas, the process is called evaporation.

The Atlantic slave trade was significant because it is one of the underlying problems facing race relations in the United States. Slaves from around the world were exploited for profits in the United States.

Every wind has its own weather is a Greek proverb that means every situation has its own unique characteristics and challenges. It highlights the idea that different circumstances require different approaches or solutions.

In 2019, the city of Burlington in Ontario, Canada recorded approximately 1.13 lightning strikes per square kilometer. The number of individuals struck by lightning in Burlington specifically would be a fraction of this statistic and not readily available. Lightning strikes on individuals are relatively rare events.

it is a really hard to earn a living off storm chasing. if you need new camera equipment you spend around 1,000 dollars. you have to pitch in money for hotels and motels when you travel to different states to catch a tornado. you have to drive lots of miles which you end up

A thunder shake is not a recognized term. It may refer to the sensation of the ground shaking or vibrations produced by thunder, which can be felt during intense thunderstorms or earthquakes.

According to the NOAA National Hurricane Center, there are an average of 5.8 Atlantic hurricanes per year that affect the United States. Although this doesn't necessarily mean they "hit they US." (See http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/pastprofile.shtml)

In the 2009 hurricane season, there were 2 Atlantic hurricanes.

Static electricity is caused by the imbalance of electric charges on the surface of two objects, leading to the buildup of electrical potential energy. Current electricity, on the other hand, is the flow of electric charge through a conductor, powered by a source like a battery or generator. It is the type of electricity used in electronic devices and power grids.

There are 33. Have you ever heard of getting a head count? Same story.

The ultimate source of energy in a hydroelectric power plant is the sun.

The sun heats water and evaporates it. The sun also creates winds that blow the evaporated water around, forming clouds, and then the evaporated water condenses into rain which collects in bodies of water that are higher in elevation than the original water before it was evaporated. This difference in elevation yields a potential energy (simplified as p = mge, where p is energy, m is mass, g is gravity, and e is elevation) that is converted to kinetic energy as it decreases in elevation while going through the water turbines. That kinetic energy is then converted to electric energy as the turbines are used to spin generators.

In the movie "Cars," Lightning McQueen's favorite food is a dish called "cone-yak" - a cone with pistachio and nitro granola.

The insignia of a fist holding two lightning bolts is commonly associated with the SS (Schutzstaffel), a paramilitary organization under Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party in Germany during World War II. This symbol represents strength and power, often used to instill fear and intimidation.
