Thunderstorms and Lightning

Lightning can directly strike animals, causing injury or death. It can also cause fear and stress in animals, leading to panic or erratic behavior. Additionally, lightning strikes can start fires in natural habitats, endangering the lives of animals in the area.

A severe thunderstorm has the potential to spawn a tornado due to the rotating updraft within the storm. Tornadoes are violent, rotating columns of air that extend from a thunderstorm to the ground and can cause significant damage. It's important to take shelter immediately and follow guidance from local authorities during severe weather events.

Find shelter and try to leave as soon as possible. Try to get all VERY important belongings, ones that are extremely important. Also call help while your in it or tell meteoroligists

When lightning strikes snow, the energy from the lightning can cause the snow to quickly melt and turn into water. The heat produced by the lightning can also create small explosions as the water vaporizes, which may result in a loud cracking sound.

When a thundercloud is overhead, the intense electric fields generated can induce a positive charge on the ground below. This in turn can result in the ground becoming positively charged, leading to a potential difference between the cloud and the ground. If the potential difference becomes large enough, it can result in a lightning discharge.

If cumulonimbus clouds are present, you can expect to find severe weather conditions such as thunderstorms, heavy rain, lightning, and possibly hail. These clouds are associated with strong updrafts and can lead to turbulent weather events.

No, thunderstorms and lightning are not known to occur on Venus. This is because Venus has a dense atmosphere made mostly of carbon dioxide, which does not support the same kind of convective processes that generate thunderstorms on Earth.

An instrument that measures, electronically, the direction of arrival, intensity, and rate of occurrence of atmospherics; a type of radio direction finder, it is most commonly used to detect and locate cloud-to-ground lightning discharges from distant thunderstorms.

An electrical discharge between parts of a cloud or between a cloud and the ground is known as lightning. It occurs due to the buildup and release of electrical energy in the atmosphere during a thunderstorm. Lightning can be dangerous and cause fires, damage to property, and injuries to living beings.

when a storm forms, it is generate by swift movements of the Earth's wind, with opposite interval of temperature, and static electricity. Static electricity is indefinately the mechanical force which creates electromagnetic pulses. thus, we next observe how a lightning bolt strikes the ground, the electromagnetic pulse in the storm is magnetized by central gravity of the Earth's core. Therefore, one can ineptly ordain that the magnetic movement of the atmosphere is portionally balanced to the magnetizm of the Earth's core. With that in mind, a mere lightning storm occurs in the same lateral region over periods of time due to the higher levels of magnetic force; in example Florida being surrounded by large amounts of water and a strip of land. The magnetic current is tremendously stronger over the small strip of land since water is an avid conductor of electricity!

A mesocyclone is a rotating updraft within a thunderstorm, usually a supercell. Under the right conditions a mesocyclone will tighten and intensify to produce a tornado. The majority of tornadoes form this way.

it's an old wives tale which has been proven true a many of times. the tale states that if it thunders in the winter we will get snow w/in 2 days. doesn't state how much, just that it will

**actually, according to a "little old woman" in Jacksonville, North Carolina, it means there will be a severe snow or ice storm within 2 weeks time she told me that in 1996 and this has been correct every time!

some people say that stuff is true but it is not in the winter it will never have a thunder Storm

No, it does not snow in the mesosphere layer of the Earth's atmosphere. The mesosphere is too dry and thin for snow to form. Snow typically forms in the troposphere, the lowest layer of the atmosphere, where most weather phenomena occur.

littering using to much gas and wasting paper if you use to much paper lumberers cut down more and more trees paper is made out of trees then we wont have any more trees which means we have no oxygen

The safest place to go during a typhoon is indoors in a sturdy building away from windows and doors. Seek shelter in a designated evacuation center, if possible. Avoid areas prone to flooding or landslides.

An electric storm, or thunderstorm, is caused by the rapid upward movement of warm, moist air that creates instability in the atmosphere. As the warm air rises, it cools and condenses, forming cumulonimbus clouds that can lead to the development of lightning and thunder. This phenomenon is commonly associated with unstable weather conditions.

We know that when the water changes its state, heat is evolved.

So,

Before cloud formation, water takes up heat from the atmosphere to change into vapour. When water vapour changes back to liquid, in the form of rain drops, this heat is released in to the air, thus heating the surrounding air. Now this warm air tends to rise and causes a drop in pressure. More air rushes to the centre of the storm. This cycle is repeated. The chain of events results in the formation of a very very low pressure system with high speed winds revolving around it. It is these weather conditions which are called a cyclone.

A shillelagh is traditionally a wooden stick or cudgel used in Irish martial arts. While it can be used as a weapon for self-defense, hitting people with it can result in serious injury or be considered assault, depending on the circumstances. It's important to use any weapon responsibly and within legal guidelines.

If by the effect you mean to the person within the car, it might be because when lightning strikes the car, it acts as a gaussian sphere, wherein the charge resides only on the surface of the car. It might also be because that the car is not grounded and insulated because of rubber tyres.

A metal lightning rod is more conductive than a plastic one, so it would work better in attracting and conducting lightning strikes away from a structure. Plastic is not a good conductor of electricity, so a plastic lightning rod would not be as effective in protecting against lightning strikes.

it doesn't have a fixed length, as long as a rod is "grounded" connected to the ground by a heavy duty wire, it's a lightning rod. . .

Lightning arresters do not typically contain iridium. They are commonly made with materials such as porcelain, glass, or polymers, and sometimes include metal components like copper or zinc. Iridium is not a common material used in lightning arrester construction.

An example is: It really is "your under arrest". Your is under arrest. Try to make up your own. It is really fun.

Arrest

Your.

The big three gods—Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades—swore never to have more children because of a prophecy that one of their children would be more powerful than them and would overthrow them. To prevent this threat to their rule, they agreed not to have any more offspring.
