2. What Is Thunder and Lightning?
Lightning occurs in hot, wet storms. Moist air is driven up to a great
height. It forms a type of cloud called cumulonimbus. When the cloud
rises high enough, the moisture freezes and ice crystals and snowfl akes
are formed. These begin to fall, turning to rain on the way down. This
rain meets more moist air rising, and it is the friction between them
which produces static electricity. When a cloud is fully charged with
this electricity, it discharges it as a lightning fl ash.
