How can lightning jump from the __ground__ to the __clouds__? Why does lightning follow a jagged path? Why do volcanoes cause lightning? What happens when lightning strikes near you? What happens when lightning strikes the ground?
Why do volcanoes erupt in different ways? Why do volcanoes cause lightning? Why are silicate minerals typically not considered to be ores? Why are loess sediments important? Why is geothermal energy a renewable resource? Why do terrestrial planets have volcanoes?
While acid rain can form around volcanoes, it’s usually caused by human consumption of fossil fuels. Acid rain can damage forests and other plants. When acid rain pollutes water sources like lakes and streams, it can be deadly to aquatic animals. Can lightning strike the same place twice?
Could Mars volcanoes have supported ancient life on the Red Planet? Well, maybe Bahamas puts SpaceX rocket landings on hold pending review: report 'Take care of our station. It's our everything.' Russian cosmonaut hands control of ISS over to Japanese astronaut (video) NASA's sun-study...
When warm air from the ground rises into an atmosphere that is below freezing, it can cause electrical charges to separate. Lightning can strike during a snowstorm when the charge needs to be equalized, just like in a summer thunderstorm. These conditions don’t happen often in winter, which...
Islands that have never been a part of a continent, but formed from volcanoes do not have terrestrial mammals, amphibians, or fresh water fish, as we would expect if the island could only be populated by seeds and birds over the air or small animals carried on rafts of vegetation. ...
Eternally mysterious Mount Fuji, as seen from Lake Kawaguchiko, remains a powerful force in Japanese culture and a must-do hike for truth-seekers despite the crowds and the looming threat of eruption.Gilles Mingasson It’s dawn on the first day of January and a crowd in the hundreds has ga...
Soon, the entire Earth will be blazing hot, a chain of earthquakes will be set off, volcanoes all over will erupt, and unthinkably large tsunamis will pummel every coast. This will be followed by a worldwide cloud of dust that’ll rise up and block the sun for months and maybe years...
One of these days, one or more of the major volcanoes on the west coast is going to experience a major eruption again. There have been signs that Mt. Rainier has been becoming more active, and a major eruption of Mt. Rainier could potentially be absolutely devastating for much of the nor...
