TRUE or FALSE: Cold fronts provide more clues and advance warning signs than warm fronts. False 13. TRUE or FALSE: Most deaths due to lightning occur when it is raining. False (More deaths have oc - curred from “dry” strikes. This could be because people are more likely to seek shelter when it is raining.) 14. Caves or overhanging rocks are good lightning shelters. False 15. The most important molecule in creating storms is: (A) DNA (B) C6H12O6 (C) H20 (D) NITROUS OXIDE C 16.

Hailstones form: (A) on top of tornadoes (B) as a result of convection within storms (C) as ice swirls horizontally around the bottom of clouds (D) from powerful lightning bolts B 18. In a hurricane (Northern Hemisphere), the winds blow mostly: (A) straight out from the center (B) up (C) clockwise (D) counter-clockwise D 19. Lightning: (A) is predictable (B) always travels downward (C) results from like charges repelling (D) is hotter than the surface of the sun D 20.

Funnel 24. _________ means that a tornado is possible. A Tornado Watch 25. _________ means that a tornado has been seen. A Tornado Warning 26.

On average, how many people in the U.S. survive lightning strikes each year? An estimated 300 people are injured by lightning each year 31. Is lightning made of a flow of protons, electrons or neutrons? Electrons 32. How hot is a bolt of lightning? 50,000 degrees F- Hotter than the surface of the sun! 33. How far away from a storm cloud can lightning strike the ground? Up to 10 miles. That is also about the distance you can hear thunder. The rule is: if you can hear thunder, you are in range of a strike. 34. How many lightning strikes hit the ground each year in the United States? 20 million 35.

Does lightning travel down from clouds or up from the ground? In fact, some charge travels down from the cloud to the ground, but the largest movement of electric charge travels from the ground upward.

At least twice as far away as the object is tall. The best shelter is indoors or in an automobile. 38. What should you do if there is no shelter available during a lightning storm? Squat low to the ground with your arms around your knees. The goal is to be as small as possible and to have as little body contact with the ground as possible, because after lightning strikes, it travels over and through the ground until it has dissipated. 39. On average, how many people in the U.S. survive lightning strikes each year? On average, the U.S. reports 300 injuries due to lightning strikes per year. Although they do not result in immediate death, these injuries are often devastating to the victims. 40. TRUE or FALSE: There is a definite relationship between plate tectonics and earthquakes.
