Which statement is false?
Select one:
a. there are approximately 9 million lightning strikes per day on Earth
b. lightning is the deadliest form of weather in the US causing more fatalities per year than other weather phenomenon
c. men are struck and killed by lightning more often than women
d. lightning can heat the air to a temperature of 30,000°C
e. it does not have to be raining for lightning to strike
ANSWER IS: a. there are approximately 9 million lightning strikes per day on Earth
EXPLANATION:
As it is actually closer to 8 million and not 9 million.
Let's go to other options also, to make it clear.
b. lightning is the deadliest form of weather as heat is the deadliest form of weather.
c. men are struck and killed by lightening more often than women. It might be true as men are taller and more they go outside.
d. lightning can heat up to 30,000 degrees C. This is true !!!
e. it does not have to be raining for lightning to strike as dry lightening is also issue and many authorities you may know are concerned about this because of forest fires.
6. What must a cloud contain in order to build a charge and produce a lightning strike?
Select one:
a. large quantities of dust and statically charged aerosols
b. a mixture of organic and inorganic materials
c. ice
d. a internal pocket of highly charged particulate matter (i.e., ash, soot, carbon etc.)
e. all clouds contain the ingredients for lightning because static electricity is what causes the cloud to form together as one unit in the first place.
ANSWER IS:
ice
EXPLANATION:
This question is tricky as we need ice crystals and charged matter. But the questions is asking about the charged matter already, so we needs ice crystals to form.
