The Mechanism of Thunderstorms and its Environmental Effects (A Review)

This study is a review of the mechanism thunderstorm and its environmental effects. Thunderstorm natural phenomenon. Its occurrence in Earth’s atmosphere has been from time immemorial. described as battery it constitutes both negative positive parts. phenomenon displays beautiful signature (lightning) rumbling noise (thunder) sky. Thunder caused by lightning. The heat energy associated with lightning heats up surrounding air molecules very fast causes these to expand rapidly, also contract rapidly cools off; this rapid expansion contraction produce sound waves(thunder). always great deal damage humans, infrastructures, plants. ranges loss lives, collapse crops economic trees, especially power grid lines which often threw affected areas into total darkness. Turbulent weather conditions arising huge impact on aviation industries around globe, cases cancellation flights are abound occasional plane crashes. A recent research attributed increasing trend over continent Africa surface temperature; meaning that will most likely experience more devastating effects thunderstorms. To drastically minimize thunderstorms, accurate prediction thunderstorms early warning, keeping thunder safety measures, mitigation drivers climate change must be considered
