Volcanic lightning arises from colliding, fragmenting particles of volcanic ash (and sometimes ice), [1] [2] which generate static electricity within the volcanic plume, [3] leading to the name dirty thunderstorm. [4] [5] Moist convection currents and ice formation also drive the eruption plume dynamics [6] [7] and can trigger volcanic lightning.
The shock lightning occurred nearly one year ago, but the images were only released this week by photographer Martin Rietze, according to the Mirror. He has spent the past 12 months chronicling ...
Reports say that this volcanic eruption could trigger an ice age from the sheet of ash that not even the sun could stand a chance of penetrating. 'High threat' supervolcano could bring about an ...
The Earth is struck by lightning nearly 20 million times each year, and bolts of lightning can travel as much as 10 to 12 miles from a thunderstorm, instantly heating the air to 50,000 degrees ...
Roger Clark, lecturer in geophysics at Leeds University said in the journal Nature in 1996, responding to a newspaper report that there had been two secret Soviet programs, "Mercury" and "Volcano", aimed at developing a "tectonic weapon" that could set off earthquakes from great distance by manipulating electromagnetism, said "We don't think it is impossible, or wrong, but past experience ...
Evidence of lightning activity can often be found in the paleomagnetic record. Lightning strikes are the result of tremendous charge buildup in clouds. This excess charge is transferred to the ground via lightning channels, which carry a strong electric current. Because of the intensity of this electric current, when lightning hits the ground ...
Subglacial eruptions occur when a volcano erupts under ice. Such activity can produce landforms such as tuyas and subglacial mounds . Ice-marginal volcanism takes place when material from a subaerial eruption makes lateral contact with ice; ice-marginal lava flows are a product of this phenomenon.
The main cast includes Owen Wilson as Lightning McQueen and Larry the Cable Guy as Mater. The series is written by Steve Purcell and produced by Marc Sondheimer . [ 1 ] Set after the events of Cars 3 (2017), Cars on the Road follows Lightning and Mater on a road trip to attend the wedding of Mater's sister, while visiting various locations and ...
