Lightning is an example of hazard
Answers
Lightning is a dangerous natural force.
Lightning during a thunderstorm is an example of electrical energy.
Annually in the United States, cloud-to-ground lightning occurs 20 to 25 million times and over 300 people are struck by lightning.
The formation of the initial storm cloud is the initiating process to how it becomes so charged. Its common knowledge that clouds are formed
by water droplets they condense as they go higher in the air. These droplets collide into one another, as they become more condensed these
collisions become vigorous and eventually lead to electrons being knocked off and falling to the lower end of the cloud while the protons
continue up to the top. This falling of electrons creates a very negative bottom of the cloud and a positive top; this in turn causes an electric
field to form in the atmosphere around the cloud. The negative bottom of the cloud becomes strong enough to repel electrons on the earth’s
surface causing the surface to become positively charged. This extreme attraction is the layout of how lightning forms.
