What else can I help you with?
. The sound caused by air rapidly expanding along a lightning strike is called?
its called thunder
What is caused by rapidly expanding and contracting air masses?
=== ===
It is caused by rapidly expanding and contracting air mass?
thunder
Is Lightning caused by friction between rapidly rising and falling air?
Yes, lightning is caused by the buildup and discharge of electrical energy in the atmosphere, primarily between clouds or between a cloud and the ground. It is not directly related to the friction between rapidly rising and falling air.
Is lightning a thermal energy?
No. Lightning produces thermal energy, but is actually a form of electrical energy.
Explain what causes lightning and thunder?
Lightning is caused by the buildup of electric charges in a storm cloud. When the charge difference becomes strong enough, it discharges as a lightning bolt. Thunder is the sound produced by the rapid expansion and heating of air surrounding the lightning bolt.
How does that heat travel the stove to the water in the kettle?
Energy in the form of rapidly moving molecules that are transferred to the kettle, which transfers to the water itself. The heat is caused by the friction of the molecules caused by the heating source.
Do thunder resultes from the explansion of air along the lightning strike?
Yes, thunder is caused by the quick expansion and then contraction of air along the path of a lightning strike. When lightning heats the air, it expands rapidly, creating a shock wave that we hear as thunder.
Lighting without Thunder?
Lightning without thunder is not possible since thunder is directly caused by lightning. When lightning strikes, it superheats the air around it, causing it to rapidly expand and create a shock wave that we perceive as thunder. The closer you are to the lightning, the louder the thunder will be.
Is thunder part of nature?
Thunder is not matter. It does not have mass and does not occupy space.Thunder is sound made up of vibrations caused by lightning, and lightning is a huge discharge of electricity.Thunder is not matter.

Can you get killed by thunder?
yes u can esepcially if ur not under somethinge its veary likely that u can die
What is the purpose of lightning?
Lightning is simply a static electrical discharge between opposite charges between clouds, or the clouds and the ground. It occurs in order to cancel out opposing charge surpluses. Thunder is simply the concussion shock wave caused by the explosive heating and expansion of the air immediately around the bolt of lightning.
