What types of pressure area would you expect to be in during a thunderstorm?
During a thunderstorm, you would likely experience a decrease in atmospheric pressure due to the active weather system in the area. This decrease in pressure can create a feeling of heaviness or discomfort in your ears or sinuses.
How dangerous is a thunderstorm?
it can rain really hard and it can kill you
sometimes rainstorms can be dangerous because if it rains realy hard it can cause floods and then if it the wind is really hard/ heavy it can knock things down
How does thunder make huge noises and sounds?
Thunder is created when lightning heats up the air around it quickly, causing the air to expand rapidly and create a shock wave. This shock wave is what we hear as thunder, which can sound loud and booming due to the rapid expansion and compression of the air.
How many people die of lightning in a decade?
On average, about 28 people die of lightning strikes in the United States each year, which would amount to roughly 280 deaths in a decade.
What is an intense thunderstorm that can spawn tornadoes called?
A supercell thunderstorm is a highly organized and powerful type of thunderstorm that can produce intense winds, large hail, heavy rainfall, and tornadoes. These storms are characterized by a rotating updraft called a mesocyclone, which can sometimes lead to the development of tornadoes.
A sound with a low pitch always has a low?
I think the answer you seek is frequency. A low pitch equals a low frequency of the sound wave.
What are good conditions for hail?
Hail is a unique situation. Strong up drafts make the best conditions for hail. Summer storms often have the perfect conditions for this phenomenon. Strong updrafts that cause water droplets to move upward, rather then fall is the first step.
The normal temperature lapse is approximately 4 degrees per thousand feet of altitude. As our little water droplet is forced up it connects with other little water droplets and gains mass. passing through whatever altitude is below freezing our droplet turns to ice. Eventually this droplet gains so much mass it starts to fall. Much of this mass goes away en route to the ground. When conditions are correct, the frozen rain hits the ground.
Hail is a fairly common issue for planes flyin inside of thunderstorms. They are a great reason to avoid them!
What does a thunderstorm look like?
A thunderstorm typically appears as dark, ominous clouds in the sky. Lightning may be visible inside these clouds, and heavy rain, strong winds, and thunder can accompany the storm. Thunderstorms can vary in size and intensity.
What pollution is caused by lightening?
Lightning itself does not cause pollution. However, lightning can ignite wildfires, which can release pollutants into the air such as smoke, particulate matter, and greenhouse gases. Additionally, lightning can also cause damage to infrastructure that may result in pollution if hazardous materials are released.
A lighting bolt is a strike of light through the sky and if your looking this up WOW!:P
It is a lightening discharge between/within clouds and the ground
If your asking why does it strike at all, it's because of the negative charges the atrract the energy. If your asking why does it strike at all, it's because of the negative charges the atrract the energy.
What was the most destructive lightning bolt?
The most destructive lightning bolt on record struck Picatinny Arsenal , an ammo depot in New Jersey in 1926. The bolt started a fire and a series of explosions that destroyed more than 20 buildings and killed 21 people.
What to if you get stuck in a hailstone storm?
If you are caught in a hailstorm, seek shelter immediately in a sturdy building or inside a vehicle. Avoid seeking shelter under trees, as they can attract lightning strikes. If you cannot find shelter, protect your head and body as much as possible until the storm passes.
How do you describe a thunderstorm?
a thunder can get a lot of energy. when you get near to a thunder you can die for the shock they also take out your lights in your house.
A thunder storm is frightening, raging, dangerous, windy,when a lightening bolt comes down its like the sky is split in two! Tempest, Ra-gin skies, violet clouds, flashes of light!
What is a flash of lightning and the thunder that follows?
A flash of lightning is the visible discharge of electricity that occurs between clouds or between a cloud and the ground during a storm. Thunder is the sound created by the rapid expansion and contraction of air caused by the intense heat of a lightning bolt. The noise from thunder occurs because of the rapid increase in pressure and temperature of the air surrounding the lightning bolt.
What is the sequence of stages in a thunderstorm?
The sequence of stages in a thunderstorm typically includes the developing stage where warm air rises and cools, the mature stage where heavy rain, lightning, and strong winds occur, and the dissipating stage where the storm weakens and eventually dissipates.
Are there any words that describe thunder or lightning if so what are they?
flashy
thin bolts of light..
clashing
pouring
torrents
thunderous
barren
vacant
intense
pounding
This type of lightning repeatedly starts and breaks?
The type of lightning you are referring to is likely to be called "string lightning." This phenomenon occurs when lightning repeatedly follows the same path, creating a flickering appearance as it breaks and re-ignites along its course.
Is astro turf safe during a lightning storm?
Artificial turf itself is not conductive, so it is generally safe to be on during a lightning storm. However, it is still advisable to seek shelter indoors during a lightning storm to avoid any potential risks.
What time of year do thunderstorms usually form?
Thunderstorms can form at any time of the year, but they are most common during spring and summer when the atmosphere is warmer and more unstable. This is when there is a greater contrast in temperature between the air near the ground and higher up in the atmosphere, creating the conditions needed for thunderstorm development.
The storm was so severe that large hailstones were hitting the roof of the house.
How do cold fronts produce stormy weather?
The cold air wedges underneath a large warm airmass. This causes the warm air to rise up and condensate. The action of the water droplets rubbing together produces a static charge which creates lightning in the storm. The water droplets fall as rain.
Can you make ball of lightning a weapon?
Ball lightning is a natural phenomenon that occurs during thunderstorms and is not something that can be created or weaponized by humans. It is a rare and unpredictable occurrence that is not suitable or ethical to use as a weapon.
Its almost like another saying for Cumulonimbus clouds.Cumulonimbus clouds are actually cumulus clouds that start off as Puffy, white clouds with flat bases. Since it is so large and usually grows bigger, all the water droplets in it eventuallly increase and cant hold it no more so it rains and produces thunderstorms(extra info in case u needed it lol)So yea pretty much to answer it is cumulonimbus xD
Your estimate of 5 seconds per mile is the one I always use during a storm. Let's see how it stacks up:
1 mile = 5,280 feet
1 mile / 5 seconds = 0.2 mile per second = (0.2 x 5,280) = 1,056 feet (321.9 meters) per second.
The speed of sound at standard temperature and pressure is listed as 343 m/s. So the result of 321.9 might be disappointing, but really now, who knows what it is in the middle of a thunderstorm !
