Thunder explained by weather bureau. boy asks why
A rural father answers a boy's question about thunder by recounting the Weather and Crop Bureau's explanation. Lightning heats the air to extreme temperatures, rapidly expands it, and creates a thunderous blast. Rumbling results from the distance and arrival of sound from different parts of the lightning channel.
Thunder Echoes From Cloud to Cloud and Hills
The passage describes continuous thunder across landscapes. It explains that thunder cannot occur without lightning. Lightning is caused by an overcharge of positive electricity on raindrops, which are broken up by an upward air current rising more than 24 feet.
