V. OTHERS:

1. Possible Answer/s:
Lightning is an electric current. Within a thundercloud way up in the sky, many small bits of ice (frozen
raindrops) bump into each other as they move around in the air. All of those collisions create an electric
charge. After a while, the whole cloud fills up with electrical charges. The positive charges or protons form
at the top of the cloud and the negative charge or electron form at the bottom of the cloud. Since opposites
attract, that causes a positive charge to build up on the ground beneath the cloud. The grounds electrical
charge concentrates around anything that sticks up, such as mountains, people or single trees. The charge
reaching down from the clouds and (zap) lightning strikes. A lightning bolt is extremely hot that can burn
or could kill the organisms struck by it.
