Thunderstorms and Lightning

Luke Castellan, a demigod, stole the lightning bolt in the novel "The Lightning Thief" by Rick Riordan. He was tricked into stealing it by the Titan Lord Kronos.

Sound occurs when an object vibrates, causing the surrounding air particles to also vibrate. These vibrations create 'sound waves' that travel through the air until they reach our ears. Our ears then interpret these sound waves and send signals to our brain, allowing us to perceive the sound.

Yes, duck's can drown. they coat their feathers with waxy substance from there bill's,to make theyre feathers waterproof. Ducklings in theyre first few weeks cannot provide this wax, therefore they often drown. If you wash a duck with detergent and remove its feather wax the duck will then sink in water and could very possibly drown.

No. It hits the closest point of least resistance. In practice, this is usually the nearest highest point, but given a choice between, say, a tall granite building and a shorter metal pole, lightning will chose the metal pole because it is more conductive to electricity.

In its simplest terms, the meteorologist looks at the weather as it is now in those places from which the weather systems come that affect his location. With knowledge of how the systems interact and what is going on now, the meteorologist can estimate where the weather systems will go in the near future.

Any metal that will conduct electricity. Steel works fine, since it is strong. A ground rod driven into the ground and connected to the lightning rod with a wire or cable. The ground rod is usually copper clad (or plated) steel.

In "The Lightning Thief," Medusa is a villainous creature from Greek mythology who Percy Jackson encounters during his quest. She has the ability to turn anyone who looks into her eyes into stone. Percy faces her alongside his friends in one of their early battles.

You will find your answer in a paper and experiment done at the University of Applied Sciences Jena in Germany. They (M. Schimmelpfening, K. Weber, F Kalb & K.-H. Feller) determined the expansion coefficients of 9 samples of parafin wax with regards to Congealing Point, Needle Penetration and if a crystal transformation had occurred. They included a fully refined macrocrystalline, an intermediate and a plastic microcrystalline. The coefficients range from the micro wax with the higher CP and Pen at .73 X10 (-3) to the 2 phase waxes at .89 x 10(-3) and intermediate at .75. Check out their paper on how they determined these, it's good. Google "Volume expansion of parafins from dip tube measurements"

Thunder and lightning occur simultaneously. We often hear the thunder after seeing the lightning due to the distance between us observers and the source of the lightning. Light travels faster than sound, so we see the lightning first and hear the sound later.

mostly the ones that don t have the sense to come inside during a storm

A spiral wind rotating around a region of low pressure is called a cyclone. Cyclones can develop in different parts of the world and are known by different names, such as hurricanes in the Atlantic and eastern Pacific oceans, typhoons in the western Pacific, and cyclones in the Indian Ocean.

Technically, this question is flawed, since one of the most important rules in physics is that no matter that has mass can travel at or above the speed of light (this is why scientists argue that traveling back in time is impossible) you would need extreme force and very special circumstances.

However, for hypothetical purposes, lets say that you are able to reach the speed of light. When you turn on your headlights, nothing out of the ordinary will happen. You will merely see the light speed away from you at the speed of light. It would be the same as if you were standing still in your car and turned on the headlights.

This is one of the must incredible things about the speed of light (c) - it is constant for everybody. Even if you were an onlooker and you somehow saw the car go by, it wouldn't happen at twice the speed of light, it would still happen at regular (c). Going further, since the speed of the light viewed doesn't change, then what does? The time. If you are able to go near the speed of light (like .9999 times), time would go more slowly for you (compared to normal, but you wouldn't notice anything. If you look at the outside world, time would appear to be traveling faster. For example, going .9999 times the speed of light, traveling for one year would actually be 70 years for anyone else. If you were able to reach the speed of light, you will have esentially stopped time, and if you were able to go faster than the speed of light, there would be an inertial frame of reference in which you would be travelling back in time. This is actually a very touchy subject, i highly recommend reading more about it. There are some very interesting videos and books by Stephen Hawking on youtube that you can watch, both about light, relativity, time travel, all of that.

Thunderstorms are more common over land than water because land heats up faster than water, creating temperature variations that trigger atmospheric instability. Additionally, land surfaces tend to have more topographical features that can help lift air, leading to storm development. Conversely, water has a stabilizing effect on the atmosphere due to its ability to absorb and release heat more slowly than land.

in physics you learn about the activity of negativly charge and positivley charged particles. lightning is a stream of either of the two particles above being attracted to the oppisitly charged particle.

No, sound is not faster than eyesight. Light travels faster than sound, with light moving at approximately 299,792 kilometers per second in a vacuum, compared to sound traveling at 343 meters per second in the air at room temperature.

No lightning is not matter.Lightning is energy and energy has no mass or volume and does not take up space. More things that arent matter are rainbows, color, ideas, plasma,anything that is a solid liquid or gas and more
it is a matter which is known as plasma and plasma is a hot ionized gases formed under extremely high temperatures.

A thunderstorm, also known as an electrical storm, a lightning storm, thundershower simply a storm is a form of weather characterized by the presence of lightning and its associated thunder.

Closely spaced contour lines mean that the slope is steep.
