Answer 2

Answer:

Lighting occurs due to the sudden flow of electric charges between clouds or between a cloud and the ground. It is dangerous because it can cause objects to catch fire due to the tremendous heat. It can also cause heavy damage to trees, buildings, electrical and telephone lines.

Some precautions that one should take during lighting are as follows:

i) If a thunderstorm is forecasted by the weather department, one should not go outdoors and stay inside an enclosed shelter.  

ii) Avoid using electrical devices of all kinds.

iii) Seek refuge in a car or grounded building when outdoors.

iv) Stay away from water.

v) Do not stand under a tree or near a tall tower.

vi) Avoid going near wire fences, metal pipes and rail tracks.
