Question

define lightning, causes and prevention​

Answer 1

Answer:

Lighting;

Lightning is a naturally occurring electrostatic discharge during which two electrically charged regions in the atmosphere or ground temporarily equalize themselves, causing the instantaneous release of as much as one gigajoule of energy.

Causes;

Lightning is an electric current. Within a thundercloud way up in the sky, many small bits of ice (frozen raindrops) bump into each other as they move around in the air. All of those collisions create an electric charge. After a while, the whole cloud fills up with electrical charges.

Prevention;

Here are some tips to keep safe and reduce your risk of being struck by lightning while indoors.

Avoid water.

Avoid electronic equipment.

Avoid corded phones.

Avoid windows, doors, porches, and concrete.

Answer 2

➣ AnSwer :-

⟶ Lightning :-

• Lightning is a naturally occurring electrostatic discharge during which two electrically charged regions in the atmosphere or ground temporarily equalize themselves, causing the instantaneous release of as much as one gigajoule of energy.

⟶ Causes of Lightning :-

• Lightning forms due to the separation of electrical charges.
• As air and moisture rise, positive charges are carried to the top of the storm cloud. As rain begins to fall, it brings negative charges to the bottom of the cloud.
• The heat of a lightning bolt causes the air to expand releasing a sound wave.

⟶ Prevention of Lightning :-

• Avoid water.
• Avoid electronic equipment.
• Avoid corded phones.
• Avoid windows, doors, porches, and concrete.
