Why are there lightnings within the cloud of dust when volcanic eruptions occur?
In: 9
When a volcano erupts, it sends out a lot of ash and dust into the air. These tiny particles rub against each other and create something called static electricity. It’s like when you rub your feet on the carpet and then touch something metal, you might feel a little shock. That’s because of static electricity. When there’s a lot of static electricity in the ash cloud, it can create lightning!
