The presence of fulgurites in an area can be used to estimate the frequency of lightning over a period of time, which can help to understand past regional climates. Paleolightning is the study of various indicators of past lightning strikes, primarily in the form of fulgurites and lightning-induced remanent magnetization signatures. [1]
The intense heat generated by a lightning strike can burn tissue, and cause lung damage, and the chest can be damaged by the mechanical force of rapidly expanding heated air. [ 4 ] Just as heat can cause expanding air in the lungs, the explosive shock wave created by lightning (the cause of thunder) can cause concussive and hearing damage at ...
This adventure module is designed to take player characters from 3rd level to 12th level. [1] Call of the Netherdeep's story is considered to be concurrent with Critical Role's second campaign; however, Dungeon Masters can adjust the timeline.

Lightning currents have a very fast rise time, on the order of 40 kA per microsecond. Hence, although lightning is a form of direct current, conductors of such currents exhibit marked skin effect as with an alternating current, causing most of the currents to flow through the outer surface of the conductor.

Just days after the USDA issued a new order that all raw milk must be tested for bird flu, reports have emerged of animals dying of the virus, including cats and several zoo animals.
Thermal input necessary to evaporate all surface water on Earth.
