THUNDERSTORMS ??
A thunderstorm is a storm with lightning and thunder. It is produced by a cumulonimbus cloud, usually producing gusty winds, heavy rain and sometimes hail.

Let us observe the pictures and identify the ingredients of thunderstorm
![Page 6: Thunder and Lightning CAI,PPT-Alphonsa Joseph, Social Science](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070601/588335e91a28abaf6f8b5f7b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
THUNDERSTORM INGREDIENTS
Moisture - Preferably in the lower or mid levels of the atmosphere
Upper level just stream can carry pockets of cold air over moist air, increasing lift and instability
![Page 7: Thunder and Lightning CAI,PPT-Alphonsa Joseph, Social Science](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070601/588335e91a28abaf6f8b5f7b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
THUNDERSTORM INGREDIENTS
Source of lift – Agent which lifts the warm, moist air at the starting of the thunderstorm
![Page 8: Thunder and Lightning CAI,PPT-Alphonsa Joseph, Social Science](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070601/588335e91a28abaf6f8b5f7b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
THUNDERSTORM INGREDIENTS
Instability – Ability for air to accelerate upward/downward when started up/down
![Page 9: Thunder and Lightning CAI,PPT-Alphonsa Joseph, Social Science](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070601/588335e91a28abaf6f8b5f7b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Look at the fig. 5 in which different life cycles are involved in the thunderstorm. From the figure , identify the cycles of a thunderstorm

The life cycle of thunderstorm are in three ways:
Cumulus stage Mature stage Dissipating stage

What is that bright flash of light that shoots across the sky during a storm?
It’s lightning, and it’s an enormous electrical discharge that occurs in the atmosphere during thunderstorms.
But what exactly causes this electricity in the sky?
LIGHTNING
![Page 14: Thunder and Lightning CAI,PPT-Alphonsa Joseph, Social Science](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070601/588335e91a28abaf6f8b5f7b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
In the process of the water cycle, moisture can accumulate in the atmosphere. This accumulation is what we see as a cloud
Cloud droplets collide other moisture, that is in the process of condensing as it rises.
STEP 1
![Page 15: Thunder and Lightning CAI,PPT-Alphonsa Joseph, Social Science](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070601/588335e91a28abaf6f8b5f7b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The importance of these collisions is that electrons are knocked off of the rising moisture
The newly knocked-off electrons gather at the lower portion of the cloud, giving it a negative charge
Step 2
![Page 16: Thunder and Lightning CAI,PPT-Alphonsa Joseph, Social Science](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070601/588335e91a28abaf6f8b5f7b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
LIGHTNING FORMATION
![Page 17: Thunder and Lightning CAI,PPT-Alphonsa Joseph, Social Science](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070601/588335e91a28abaf6f8b5f7b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
![Page 18: Thunder and Lightning CAI,PPT-Alphonsa Joseph, Social Science](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070601/588335e91a28abaf6f8b5f7b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
THUNDER
![Page 19: Thunder and Lightning CAI,PPT-Alphonsa Joseph, Social Science](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070601/588335e91a28abaf6f8b5f7b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
As the rising moisture encounters colder temperatures in the upper cloud regions and begins to freeze, the frozen portion becomes negatively charged and the unfrozen droplets become positively charged.
Here, rising air currents have the ability to remove the positively charged droplets from the ice and carry them to the top of the cloud.
![Page 20: Thunder and Lightning CAI,PPT-Alphonsa Joseph, Social Science](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070601/588335e91a28abaf6f8b5f7b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The cloud then becomes separated by charges
It becomes positively charged at the top and negative at the bottom creating an electric field.
STEP 4
![Page 21: Thunder and Lightning CAI,PPT-Alphonsa Joseph, Social Science](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070601/588335e91a28abaf6f8b5f7b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The electric field becomes so large, that it can rip some of the electrons of the air molecules, you then get some electrons and positive ions - a plasma.
![Page 22: Thunder and Lightning CAI,PPT-Alphonsa Joseph, Social Science](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070601/588335e91a28abaf6f8b5f7b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
As there are free electrons and positive ions, this plasma conducts electricity very well unlike air which is a good insulator, and electricity will follow the easiest path, so all the charge from a significant portion of a cloud will follow this path, creating a huge spark - a lightning bolt.
The entire process of a lightning bolt occurs in a matter of seconds
![Page 23: Thunder and Lightning CAI,PPT-Alphonsa Joseph, Social Science](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070601/588335e91a28abaf6f8b5f7b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
SAVING YOUSELF FROM THUDERSTORMS.
•If you find yourself caught in a lightning storm, the key to minimizing danger is to get inside and could protect structure. If you can detect lightning, it may be close enough to strike you. •Never stand under a tall or short tree, and avoid being close to power lines as they’re both excellent conductors of electricity and could potentially cause death. If not serious injury. •Find shelter near or under a stony shelter, say a cavern or something,. Never stay near windows. Don’t touch electric oriental surfaces

DEFINING THE TERM – THUNDER
THUNDER STORMS ARE PRODUCED BY CUMULONIMBUS CLOUDS AND ARE ACCOMPANIED BY LIGHTNING AND THUNDER.
It Occurs when the atmosphere becomes unstable—when a vertically displaced air parcel becomes buoyant and rises on its own.The ideal conditions include warm, moist air near the surface and a large change in temperature with height (large lapse rate)

It was the mid of July. I was sprawled on my comfortable bed and watching a movie, when my mother came in and asked me to get ready to go shopping; she wanted to collect her bangles from the jewellers. She said that she wanted to come back before Maghrib.
Fifteen minutes later, we were on the road. The sky had been cloudy since morning. As it began to drizzle, I became more conscious on the road. I had been driving fast, so I slowed down to avoid risks. The drizzle changed to sudden downpour as we neared the shop. People on the road started to run frantically for shelter. Vehicles slowed down on the road as well.
Suddenly, we heard a very loud crack of thunder followed by a bright flash of lightning outside my car window. Within a few minutes, roads and streets had turned into streams and rivers. Many trees were uprooted. The storm plunged the city into darkness. Advertisement boards began to fall and damage vehicles around them

All thunderstorms are dangerous and can be associated with a number of hazards. Heavy rains can lead to flash flooding events ,one of the primary causes of death associated with thunderstorms.
Lightning, which is produced by every thunderstorm, causes an average of 80 fatalities and 300 injuries each year.

At least 42 people were killed, more than 100 injured and crops damaged when a thunderstorm hit the north-eastern border districts of Bihar late on Tuesday night.
“It was a strong storm with a wind speed of more than 150 kmph. Purnia is the worst-affected district, with the most people killed,” Chief Minister Nitish Kumar told presspersons here after an aerial survey of the affected areas. Officials said the death toll was likely to rise.
Mr. Kumar said the final assessment of damage would be possible only after officials of the affected districts sent in the details.
