- The Lightning Phenomenon
Lightning, an awesome and terrifying natural phenomenon, is really nothing more than an electrical discharge that happens to be at an enormous voltage. Lightning equalizes a difference of electrical potential, whether it is between a cloud and the ground, between two clouds, or between two different areas of the same cloud. Due to various mechanisms in storm cloud formation, such as the rising and falling of air currents carrying moisture and ice particles, the storm cloud generates an electrical charge at its base. Charged regions in a thundercloud create conductive ionization channels through the atmosphere called "stepped leaders," while an opposite electrical charge or "shadow" accumulates on the ground below.
