Volcanic lightning : when nature creates its own fireworks.
Volcanic lightning or dirty thunderstorms are an amazing phenomenon where lightning bolts occur during a volcanic eruption.
They occur because of the intense friction between ash, dust, and gas particles in the air, which creates an electrostatic charge.
When the energy reaches a critical level, it is discharged through lightning.
This phenomenon does not occur in every eruption and depends on many factors.
These include the amount of ash in the volcano, humidity, and other atmospheric conditions.
Studies have shown that volcanic lightning is more likely to occur in eruptions with high levels of ash and sand dust in the atmosphere.
