My Question: | chose to Find out how lghtring comes to be because from the time | was little | always thought that it was maga. As quoted from my source: Lightning is a dant spark of electrisity in the atmosphere between clouds, the air, or ‘the ground. In the early stages of development. ar acts as af insulator between the positive ard regative charges in the clud ard between the coud ard the ground When the opposite charges build up enowh this insulating capacity of the air breaks down and there is a rapd discharge of electricity that we know as ightring. ‘The flash of lghtring temporarily equaizes the charged regions in the atmosphere until the opposite charges build op ain In other words Lghtring happens because positive and negative charges push against the ar ineulator between the cbwle and ‘the ground. Evertualy the opposite charges build up enough that the ai can't held it together anymore and a massive bolt of deetriity shoots toward the ground at intense speed Thus, creating a bat of tahtring Lightning is often seen as destructive, but | ways thought that it was magical | decided to research this ‘specific topic because | love lightning! | rever actually knew how it worked but now, | DO! Artistic representation | chose to create this work of art because | wanted to kan more about Iightring. This piece may not be scientificaly accurately depicted but as | was readng about the science of ligrtning my brain conjured an image and this piece is the imaye. | have a very strony imagination and science always brings the best out of me. lve storms and many other natural dsasters, every time | read about science my imagination kicks ‘n.| call my piece blank. eripy:
