    The document contains a science test for class 8 with questions about natural phenomena such as thunderstorms, lightning, earthquakes, and static electricity. It asks students to identify correct answers about charge accumulation in clouds during thunderstorms, grounding as it relates to earthing, and which non-metals can conduct charge. The test also includes short answer questions about what causes thunder and lightning, definitions of terms like aftershocks and convection currents, safety measures for lightning, areas in India prone to earthquakes, and why a charged body loses its charge when touched.
