Do thunderstorms ever occur on the moon?
No, thunderstorms do not occur on the moon. Thunderstorms result from the interaction of warm, moist air and atmospheric conditions on Earth, but the moon lacks an atmosphere and is unable to support the formation of thunderstorms.
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).
Why is music spelled Muzak in the Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief book?
"Muzak" is the kind of music that is meant as background noise, as opposed to entertainment or art. The kind of throw-away music you hear in supermarkets, elevators, waiting rooms etc, usually performed by uninspired sax players doing well-known tunes, but in a boring way. That is muzak.

How does tracking a severe storm help people?
It helps people - by allowing those in the path of the storm to take precautionary measures. This can be as simple as hiding in a storm cellar, or boarding up windows and doors to prevent breaking glass from injuring others.

How do you avoid being with another narcissist?
The chances of you actually knowing two authentically clinically diagnosed narcissists in your lifetime is extremely rare. Arrogance is not narcissism. ==I understand your concern== I wonder about the same thing. I am resisting the "codependent" theory that would seem to indicate we may be magnets for narcissists and other abusers. I would hate to think that is true(?!). I am trying to establish better boundaries for myself. I have vowed never to take any more sh*t from any man. If I am uncomfortable with something, I will either confront the issue directly for a solution or make the decision to end the relationship (depending on the degree of discomfort or alarm I feel. Some things CAN be worked out in a "normal" relationship.) The bottom line may be: We can't change or fend off the narcissists in our world, but we can change to create barriers to protect ourselves. Healthy self-esteem and proper boundaries may be the key. I am determined not to let this happen to me again!
The term "tar drees" does not make sense". Also, 100 Coulombs is awfully small for a lightning strike. Please restate the question.
What injury might you suffer if lightning strikes near you but does not hit you?
- Your brain could have some electrical problems.
- I just had a near strike a week ago and am still having "MAJOR" headaches and sharp pains in my head. Along with nerve problems that make my body have convulsions.
- Having treated near strike victims, there are many other things that can happen. Current from the strike can actually travel up from the ground and cause vascular and neurological injury in the extremities as well as heart rhythm disturbances. The shock wave can can cause injury also. You may have post concussion syndrome from the shock wave of the bolt. See a neurologist.
- I would think that you would have some nervous problems (i.e .convulsions, major headaches, as mentioned above) Some more serious problems could include cardiac arrythmia due to changes in the body's electrical signals.
- A strike that hits very close to you is likely to cause hearing problems, burns, loss of eye sight and minor head trauma. When a bolt of lightning is discharged, it heats the air up so much that it expands to almost vacuum staus. This causes a loud bang, also known as thunder. Being so close to this sound may even cause you to go temporarily deaf. The flash is also brighter than the sun. If you look directly at it when it is too close, it is worse than looking at the sun directly. Not good. And obviously, the heat that is expanding the air will also burn you skin. The head trauma can come from the vibrations and electricity put off by a lightning bolt.
- Within a certain radius of the bolt, the air becomes ionized to the point where it can kill anything around it. If you do happen to survive, hearing difficulties or loss are imminent.
Answer to your question YES.Actualy a EGR valve doesn't reallystart working until you get up to higher speeds. At idel and slowerspeeds it's not active. So if something is wrong with it weatherit be EGR senser bad diaphragm orvacum hose the problem will showupat lower speeds and idle. It actually causes a vacum leak wichyou wouldn't notice at higher RPM's. It cuases your engine to run to lean making it run bad atlower RPM's. Hope this brings some light on this for ya.
Is lightning a rapid electrostatic discharge?
Yes, lightning is a rapid electrostatic discharge in the atmosphere that is caused by imbalances between storm clouds and the ground, creating a flow of electrical current. This discharge can result in a bright flash of light and the accompanying sound of thunder.
The color of a cloud depends on how much light is able to move freely through the water droplets. A "green" cloud (generally a cumulonimbus cloud ) can also be described as "dark and angry" and is often associated with severe weather. They can potentially produce heavy rain, frequent lightening strikes, hail and tornadoes. A lighter colored cloud can produce hail, but when it is "green" the weather service generally expects the possibility of hail.
Does thunderstorms form with dry air or moist air?
Thunderstorms require moist air to form. That is where the rain comes from.
Surely you have heard thunder and seen lightening during a storm - what you can see and measure is fact not myth.
Is it dangerous to swim during heat lightning?
Heat lightning is the lightning produced in distant thunderstorms. It can represent an early warning sign that a thunderstorm is approaching. If you see heat lighting, then it's probably best to err on the side of safety and exit the water as soon as possible.
