Thunderstorms and Lightning

anginophobia It could also be under claustrophobia, fear of enclosed areas. Narrow areas could be referred to that as well, I guess?

The fear of sounds is known as phonophobia. People with phonophobia usually experience heightened anxiety or distress in response to certain noises. Therapy and relaxation techniques can help manage this phobia.

Ground-dependent antennae refer to antennas that require a physical connection to the ground in order to function optimally. These antennas rely on the ground plane to radiate or receive radio signals efficiently. Ground-dependent antennas are commonly used in mobile communication devices and radio systems where a connection to the ground plane can be established.

Let it dry out completely for several days before trying to turn it on, put a fan on it and have it blow through some of the vent holes. It may yet work. However, you can expect problems with the set down the line if it does. Rust and corrosion on the circuit boards and the frame of the set, and I don't think most extended warranties will cover customer neglect.

Yes, there are devices called infrasound detectors that can measure low-frequency infrasound waves. These detectors typically use specialized sensors to capture infrasound signals and can be used in various applications such as monitoring seismic activity, detecting natural disasters, or studying animal behavior.

Yes, most leaves are designed to allow water to drip from them. Plants breathe through tiny pores in their leaves so if they were to become clogged with water, the plants would effectively drown. Most plants take water up through their roots so if it didn't hit the ground, they would dehydrate.

When a lightning strike occurs, it has closed it's circuit, much like a light switch. Once the contacts in the light switch get close enough to cause current to flow, an arc occurs, all the way until actual contact is made. I maintain that the path of a lightning strike is preprogrammed, just before the actual strike occurs. The ground potential and the charge in the skies potential, feel each other and build up the power/potential to reach each other on the established sensed path. An actual strike occurs by part of the strike rising from the ground and the other part of the strike coming out of the sky, the meeting of the two culminating in the clap/boom noise heard when they meet. The lightning is a closed circuit as soon as the potential meeting of both ground and sky charges are sensed and before the actual strike appears in the sky.

If a 227V power source is connected to a 120V ballast, the ballast may get damaged due to the excessive voltage. It is important to always ensure that the voltage input matches the rated voltage of the ballast to prevent such issues.

Scattered thunderstorms are thunderstorms in the 30-40% chance category. They are generally weak, widespread short thunderstorms that turn on and off due to a storm system moving over the area.

Blondes don't always smile during lightning storms. This is likely just a stereotype or joke. People of all hair colors can have different reactions to lightning storms, depending on their individual personalities and feelings about thunderstorms.

In 1607 There were people who came from England and came all the way to Jamestown. Jamestown was a country in North America in Jamestown the English people Worked on houses. Then the English met Indians. These Indians were called Powhatan Indians. At first the Powhatan Indians Attacked Jamestown. Then the Powhatan Indians soon Became friends with the English people and they tought the English people how to grow plants and then the English people tought the Powhatan Indians How To Hunt. Today Life is different then in 1607.

Lightning is very hot, about 27760 degrees Celsius. When the lightning heats the air around it , the air instantly expands, resounding with a shock wave.
The clap is an indication of how close you are to the lightning strike, a sharp bang means you are very close ( the sound will come almost immediately after the strike or at the same time), if you are farther away it will sound like a rumble as the sound waves bounce off the geographical features on its way to you ( the thunder will come several seconds later than the lightning strike )
As kids we used to count the seconds that it took for the thunder to resound after a lightning strike to tell how far away it was, one second for one mile

Potentially. Heat lightning is not a special kind of lightning: it is simply lightning that is too far away for the thunder to be heard. A fatal lightning bolt in a storm might only be visible as heat lightning 30 miles away.

Strictly speaking thunder doesn't make a sound. Thunder IS the sound made by lightning.

Thunder is always proceeded by lightning and the sound is literally the sound of the bolt of lightning ripping through the air at an incredible speed ionising the air, rapidly raising temperature, breaking the sound barrier and physically hitting the earth.

The sound can be described as a rumble, a screech, a boom or a crack depending upon your proximity to the lightning and its type.

it is the mean highest point that the water may reach, figuring that the property is located on a navigable waterway, lake or ocean...title companies generally do not insure land located below the high water mark or will take exception to a lot of different issues to so much of the land below that line, because it may be prone to regular flooding...also, municipalities have certain rights and obligations to the land below the high water mark, such as bulkhead repair and replacement, debris removal and clearing rights with respect to navigable waterways...that highwater mark may also require the need for flood insurance for your property

Individual pain tolerance can vary due to genetic factors, psychological factors (such as mindset and coping strategies), previous experiences with pain, cultural influences, and differences in pain perception. These factors can affect how individuals interpret and respond to pain stimuli, leading to variability in pain tolerance among people.

There isn't a completely simple answer to this question, but I'll try and give you some 'rules of thumb'. As I'm sure you are well aware, the distance a golf ball carries depends on quite a few factors, e.g.: a) atmospheric conditions b) clubhead speed at impact c) how close to the so-called 'sweet spot', on the clubface, the initial contact with the ball is, at impact d) the nature and characteristics of the golf ball and driver in use, which in turn depend on the manufacturer and model. Some balls, and some drivers, produce a more 'lively' impact than others, so that the ball leaves the clubface at a higher speed, even at constant clubhead speed. Also the ball spin characteristics are a variable and again this affects distance. However, having said all of that, here are some ROUGH guideline figures: With a typical, 'middle of the range' modern driver, with a loft of about 10 or 11 degrees, and a 'middle of the range' ball: 90 mph clubhead speed will typically produce about 200 yards of CARRY (not total distance) 100 mph -----------------------------"-----------------------225 110 mph -----------------------------"------------------------250 Now, there are some important things to remember about those numbers: 1) The figures assume a clubface SQUARE TO THE TARGET at impact and 2) The direction of the clubhead is STRAIGHT THROUGH TO THE TARGET at the instant of impact. and 3) The clubface contacts the ball AT THE 'SWEET SPOT' on the clubface. An important thing about point number 3 above is that, as another rule of thumb, for every quarter inch (6.3mm) away from the sweet spot the contact is, you will lose about 5% of distance. Many ordinary golfers, for much of the time, are half an inch or more off the sweet spot. So that's 10%, which equates to 20 yards on a 200 yard drive - quite a lot!! All this underlines the need for golfers to learn to hit the ball BETTER, rather than just trying to hit it harder. Now the above figures are CARRY, not total distance. The extra bit of distance is of course the 'bounce and roll' and this varies enormously when using a driver. On very soft ground you'll get virtually nil bounce and roll, but on hard, dry ground you might get 50 yards or maybe more. Under 'average' ground conditions, you can reckon on bounce and roll being about 10% of the carry distance. What I've said above is by no means an exhaustive explanation of the factors affecting distance, but it's a start. In conclusion, using the figures I've provided, you can deduce that you might expect a 250 yard drive with average modern equipment from a clubhead speed of just over 100 mph, assuming that bounce and roll is 10% of the carry distance, and assuming good, precise, square impact.

Trains, like many other objects, do get struck by lightning.

Usually, this is a minor matter. Trains are large metallic objects that are extremely well grounded in the electrical sense, so even the rather large current of a lightning strike can flow directly through the train to the tracks and to the Earth with no consequence. There are exceptions and there are cases where a lightning strike has resulted in a power failure on a train with serious consequences. But, the normal directly inflicted damage from a lightning strike is really so small as to go unnoticed.

low frequency fatigue is caused by small muscle tear and it takes time to repair this destroyed muscle

high fatigue is cause by lactic acid accumulation that is why it takes time before the body converts it to glucose or other form by liver, heart or kidney

Yes, it is possible to overheat while swimming due to factors such as prolonged exposure to the sun, high water temperature, intense physical activity, or inadequate hydration. It's important to stay hydrated, take breaks, and seek shade when swimming in hot weather to prevent overheating.

Thunderstorms can make your clothes wet if you are caught in the rain without protection. Heavy rain and strong winds can also cause damage to clothes, such as tears or stains from dirt and mud. It's important to wear appropriate clothing and carry a rain jacket or umbrella to protect yourself during thunderstorms.

To reset the date and time in a 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora, you typically need to do so through the vehicle's settings on the radio or instrument cluster display. Consult your owner's manual for specific instructions on how to change the date and time settings in your car.

Squid have three hearts and blue blood due to a copper-based protein called hemocyanin. They also have the ability to change their skin color and texture to blend in with their surroundings, making them masters of camouflage. Squid are highly intelligent creatures with complex nervous systems and advanced sensory capabilities.
