Thunderstorms and Lightning
Also referred to as a lightning storm, a thunderstorm is a weather form wherein thunder and lightning are present. Thunderstorms, most especially if accompanied by heavy rains and downburst winds, pose hazards to people and the environment.

Is fire and lightning the same thing?
No. Fire is a combination of chemical and physical changes in which substances interact to release heat, light, smoke and ash. Lightning occurs when the negative charges (electrons) in the bottom of the cloud are attracted to the positive charges (protons) in the ground. In some instances, fire can be created by lightning.
When a waves' amplitude increases does the frequency change?
Velocity of wave = frequency * wavelength (the universal wave equation does not involve amplitude) There is no direct relationship between the amplitude and the wavelength of a wave and therefore if the amplitude increases the wavelength will not necessarily change.
What is static electricity lightning?
Lightning in itself IS static electricity. The only difference between lightning and the little zap you feel when you rub your feet on your carpet and touch something metal is that Lightning is MILLIONS of times more powerful.
Lightning is the result of air molecules being superheated (up to approximately 54,000° F, or six times the surface temperature of the sun!) by a massive surge of electricity. As such, lightning is always visible if you're close enough, though it may be obscured by opaque and semi-opaque materials such as clouds, smoke, soot, heavy snow, tornadic debris, etc.
As a general rule of thumb, if you're close enough to hear the thunderclap, you were probably close enough to see the lightning. (And if you can hear thunder, you're at risk of being struck by lightning, so take shelter immediately.)
When air moves from an area of low pressure it causes?
When air moves from an area of low pressure, it causes wind to blow towards the area of higher pressure. This movement of air creates atmospheric circulation patterns that help balance out pressure differences in the atmosphere.
How often do people get hit by lightning?
ANSWER 1
Well i was watching lately a documentary on Discovery channel, they were talking about strange facts, describing on a reconstruction how some people defeated death amazingly. By coincidence there have been a man living in the US, he was strucked by lightning for four times, each time on different circumstances and now he's still alive luckily but unfortunately he suffers now from some pains increasing exponentially by the number of times a lightening stuck him. He mentioned that it may be related to heredity because his grandfather aunt and a cousin (as i remember) were strucked also by this huge enormous phenomenous of goddess nature.
ANSWER 2
When it comes to being a human lightning rod Roy C. Sullivan is the iron clad holder of the title. Roy C. Sullivan was a U.S. forest ranger in Shenandoah National Park in Virginia and it seemed that having an electric personality prerequisite for his job. Lightning strike #1 came in 1942 in a fire lookout tower. Lightning strike #2 came in 1969when he was in his truck. Lightning strike #3 came in 1970 in his front yard. Lightning strike #4 came in 1972 in a ranger station. Lightning strike #5 came on August 7, 1973 while he was in his car. Lightning strike #6 came on June 5, 1974 in a campground. Lightning strike #7 came on June 25, 1977 while fishing.
Is it safe to stay in the car when lightning strikes?
Well planes usually fly above storm clouds, so here is no actual chance of getting struck. Although cars have rubber wheels which does repel lightning. If you can it you would be indoors. also dont touch the metal on the airplane
Static electricity is
1) an accumulation of electric charge on an insulated body
2) electric discharge resulting from the accumulation of electric charge on an insulated body
Who pays for fence when damaged by neighbors trees during thunderstorm?
It usually depends on local laws and the specific circumstances. In many cases, each homeowner is responsible for damage caused by their own trees, even if it affects a neighbor's property. It's recommended to check your local regulations and possibly consult with a legal professional for the best course of action.
Why is the troposphere important to meteorologists?
The troposphere is the lowest layer of earth's atmosphere. its in this layer that all claimatic changes take place.
What is a condition required for all thunderstorms to form?
The formation of a thunderstorm requires an area of unstable air, its motion due to convection currents. The moisture in this heated air will be carried aloft and condense, releasing heat to power the thunderstorm.
A thunderstorm needs a lifting force, and moisture in the lower to mid-levels of the atmosphere.
Why did cowboys on the trail need to especially alert during a thunderstorm?
Because the storm would scare the cattle away
What happens when there is lightning but no thunder?
Thunder is the sound caused by lightning, there is always thunder with lightning. If you cannot hear thunder maybe that is because you are too far away from the storm.
What does it mean when you hear a high pitched whine while accelerating in a 2004 Intrepid?
Is it heard through the radio? That's a common problem with them, and there is a service bulletin out for some of the years to correct it.
Why does the lightning is 3 times heat than the sun?
It isn't
The Sun's temperature is measured at roughly 5,750 degrees Kelvin
Lightning carries an electrical charge, and as such isn't measured in degrees, but in volts (can be tens of millions of volts)
When lightning strikes something it can raise it's temperature from the discharge of electricity, but lightning itself doesn't not inherently have a temperature
Shadowless lighting is a setup where the light source is positioned in a way that minimizes or eliminates shadows cast by the subject being illuminated. This can be achieved by using multiple light sources placed at different angles or by diffusing the light to create a more even and soft lighting effect. Shadowless lighting is commonly used in photography, medical settings, and product displays to create a clean and uniform look.
How far away can you hear 80 db?
The distance from which you can hear an 80 dB sound can vary widely based on environmental conditions, background noise, and the frequency of the sound. In a quiet environment, you might hear it from several hundred meters away, while in a noisier setting, the range could be significantly reduced. Generally, 80 dB is considered a loud sound, akin to heavy traffic or a lawnmower, and can be perceived a significant distance away under optimal conditions.
Is lightning a high-voltage electric current?
Yes, the clouds become electrically charged and when there is excessive charge there is a big spark.
The charge produces an electric field in the space under it, and when the field is high enough the gas atoms in the air break down, electrons are stripped off them and there is a plasma which conducts electricity. The charge in the cloud flows to join opposite charges on the ground. When charge flows there is an electric current.
Why some people survive after hit by a lightning?
maybe,they were such a lucky person that god have made!

Is a sound of a baritone high or low?
I'm pretty sure it is a low sound because for an example, a baritone horn is third to lowest in the lower brass family, a baritone saxophone is the lowest in the saxophone family and the baritone guitar is lower than the normal guitar. So that concludes my answer that a baritone is low sounded. I hope my answer helped you!
