Identify the reason of lightning during a thunderstorm.
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C Charge accumulation
Lightning is caused due to the accumulation of electric charge in the clouds. As the charge density increases, air can no longer stop the flow of charges, and hence, a lightning bolt strikes the earth. The process of electric discharge can occur between two or more clouds or between the clouds and the Earth, which is seen as a giant bright spark.
