Thunderstorms and Lightning

That is an interesting question, usually when lightning strikes it usually hits the highest point possible in the vicinity of downward motion. When lightning "strikes", something called a stepped leader leaves the cloud, sort of "looking" for a path to follow. When this leader gets close to an object sticking up above the flat surrounding surface, something called a streamer leaps up from the object things like tree's, buildings, animals, golf clubs or fishing poles, whatever, if they're the tallest object around. Also at times there is an ionized path that lightning will take, meaning an area of high electrical conductivity (it'll make the hairs on your skin and head stand on end, it feels really tingly), that's a point where the steeped leader is trying to connect with a streamer, when they connect or if you add something to decrease the channel width (by holding something conductive up) ZAP! you get whacked with one Billion volts. As for it striking a lake, electricity will always follow a path of least resistance. While one would expect that lightning would probably hit lakes quite often due to their high conductivity based on solubles in the lakes, area, volume, ect. I'd imagine it's probably not that frequent because most lakes are surrounded by taller objects than the lake itself. This creates a shorter path that the electricity would have to bridge. I'd say more frequently that lightning wouldn't hit the actual lake, but rather say the mast of a yacht on that lake, or the fishing pole a fisherman is holding up while on that lake, since that would make that object the tallest point in a very large open space. Though respectively I haven't been able to find any "exact" numbers. Probably because lightning flashes hit various pieces of ground/water about 22 million times each year in the United States alone.

Yes, hail can kill you, but it's very rare. If there is a hail storm, the length of the storm, size of hail, wind speed, and amount of shelter will effect deaths caused by hail. Hail incidents are very unlikely in the US due to wether patterns and more shelter, but are more common elsewhere. Besides human deaths, hail will kill many animals, especially livestock without shelter, and devastate farmer's crops.

Kahlua is a coffee-flavored liqueur that originates from Mexico.

Supercell thunderstorms are the type of thunderstorms that are most likely to produce tornadoes. They are characterized by rotating updrafts called mesocyclones, which can spawn tornadoes within the storm. These storms are often associated with severe weather and have the potential to produce strong and destructive tornadoes.

The word "hail" (frozen rain) together with its German and Dutch relative "hagel", comes from the prehistoric West Germanic word "hagalaz", which is related to the Greek word "kákhlēx", which means... "pebble".

Wave amplitude affects the loudness of the sound you hear - higher amplitude waves create louder sounds. Wave frequency affects the pitch of the sound you hear - higher frequency waves create higher pitched sounds. Together, amplitude and frequency determine the overall characteristics of the sound wave you perceive.

Yes, it is illegal to take beach sand without permission in many places due to environmental concerns and protection of natural habitats. Additionally, using lightning rods to create glass is not a common or recommended method as it can be dangerous and unpredictable. It's best to explore legal and safe alternatives for making glass.

An average bolt of negative lightning carries a current of 40 kA (kiloampreas) although some bolts can be up to 120 kA, and transfers a charge of 5 coulumbs and 500 MJ (megajoules)or enough energy to power a 100 watt lightbulb for just under two months. The voltage depends on the length of the bolt: with the of air being 3 million volts per meter, this works out at about one billion volts for a 300m (1,000 feet) lightning bolt.

An isolates storm is one that does not form near others. A severe storm is one that meets one of the following criteria: having winds of at least 58 mph,producing hail 1 inch in diameter or greater, or producing a tornado. Isolated stirms can be severe but it is fairly rare.

You should not stand with your legs apart in a thunderstorm because placing your legs together minimizes the amount of electric current that will pass through your body. Always stand with your feet together if you can't get out of a thunderstorm.

The wavelength of red laser light is between 620 and 750 nanometers (billionths of a meter). Anything emitting or reflecting light in that wavelength is perceived by us (human beings) as red.

If the light were in the range of 495 to 570 nanometers, it would appear green, and would seem even brighter at the same energy level. For this reason green lasers make great pointers for stellar objects in dark skies.

Yes, it is safest to avoid trees during a lightning storm as they can attract lightning due to their height and conductive properties. Seek shelter indoors or in a fully enclosed metal-topped vehicle instead.

"Thunder" by Boys Like Girls contains the lyrics "Thunder only happens when it's raining."

if you are in a field and there is one tree lightening strikes the tallest object around and if you are under that tree you will feel the effects of that strike or part of the tree could break of where lightening hits and fall on you. if your in a field and lighening starts to strike get as low to the ground as you can till you can seek cover

The longest lasting thunderstorm is a supercell. A supercell is a thunderstorm that can last hours, and they may stretch over several km, making them the longest lasting and the largest types of thunderstorms. These storms often occur in the United States and often spawn tornadoes.

Thunder is a shockwave; it only propagates in any direction it can. It doesn't technically attract to anything, but it will move toward areas with little or no resistance to its passing (open air as opposed to a hill, mountain or other major geographical feature).

Yes, lightning can potentially strike a laptop if it is plugged into an electrical outlet during a storm. It is recommended to unplug electronic devices during a storm to prevent damage from power surges caused by lightning strikes.

You can find Lightning Bolt surfboards shaped by Rory Russell for sale online on websites like Surfline, Surf Shop, or specialty surfboard shops that carry the brand. It's recommended to check several sources to compare prices and availability.

Jamshedpur is generally considered safe for girls to stay. However, like any city, it is always important to take standard safety precautions such as being aware of your surroundings, using reputable transportation services, and avoiding isolated areas at night. Ultimately, personal safety can vary depending on individual experiences and circumstances.

Yes, severe thunderstorms have the potential to produce tornadoes when certain atmospheric conditions are present. Tornadoes are often associated with supercell thunderstorms, which are long-lived, rotating storms capable of producing strong winds and tornadoes.

Light is not considered matter as it consists of massless particles called photons. Sound, on the other hand, is a form of energy that propagates through matter as mechanical waves, so it is not considered matter in itself.

Bolts do not travel on their own, but they are typically installed or removed with the use of a wrench or other tool. They can be fastened or unfastened by turning them clockwise (to tighten) or counterclockwise (to loosen).

No, the color red does not attract lightning. Lightning is attracted to tall objects, moisture in the air, and the path of least resistance to the ground. The color of an object does not affect its likelihood of being struck by lightning.

Its electricity right [if that's what ya mean ] it shouldnot pass through open windows. But if its the light accompanied by the heat also should pass I mean it leaves an Impact.

Many incidents can be found where a person siting on an open window have died or got burnt cause of the lightning.

If we study the incidents a bit closely we would see the lightning has always struck on a tree or a medium close by with the least amount of diameter.
