does thunder & lighting make wind?

Answer 1

N0

Answer 2

Hockey? You trying to stick us?

Lightning makes thunder. Lightning is made by static (electricity) charges that are in part cause by up and down drafts, so the wind comes first, caused by the difference in temperature of the ground or lower atmosphere and the colder upper air where the moisture codenses into clouds.

Most wind is caused by differences in atmospheric pressure and by the Earth's rotation ("prevailing winds" and jet streams). Some wind can be caused by local effects, such as the difference in temperature between the ocean and the coastal ground (sea breeze).

Then there are people who regard thunder as gods farting. A different kind of making wind.

Answer 3

No

Answer 4

good question. i do know that thunder is the reult of the air being split by the lightning. i would imagine as the atmosphere slams back together there may be a rush of air.something to think about.where does wind come from. i will have to google that.

Answer 5

if they hump each other.....yes

Answer 6

No

The wind is a fluid current set up by differing areas of pressure.

More simply, if there exists a high pressure area in the atmosphere and there is a neighboring low pressure area, air will flow between the two to try and equalize the pressures. The air flow is what we call wind. This is a very simplified explanation, but it works in a similar manner for liquids except that it is density driven instead of pressure driven. high air pressure just means there are more molecules of air (02,N2,etc.) piled up there than in an area of low pressure. Thus the molecules "flow down hill" to the area of low pressure. You feel it as wind because molecules have mass so if enough of them bump into you, you feel it. The low pressure and high pressure areas usually form differential heating. Hot air expands and rises and molecules flow away from it to colder areas and collect there.

Answer 7

Wind is created by uneven heating of the earth's surface.  Thunder and lightning have to do with charged particles in the atmosphere.

Answer 8

nope. The wind is made for the warm. remember the physics class, first, the light matter tend to be up, and the heavy matter tend to be down. For example go to the store and buy a bag of potato chips, open the bag and you can see that in the top exist a lot of big slices and in the bottom you have a lot of small pieces. now you will agree with me if i tell you that you have more potatoes for cubic centimeter with the broken chips than with the entire slices, that means that the broken slices are heavier. if you have questions fill the cubic centimeter with potato flour. Well now think that the air is potato slices, the big slices, that is the warm air is in the top, and the small slices, the cold slices are in the bottom. Now think in this, the air is not slices, the air is a gas, then is in constant movement ?ok¿. Then the cold air in the bottom is warmed for the stones, the sand, and everything that is in the surface, including the pavement, Now remeber the law of the dilatation, a body warmed uses more space but have the same weight, that means that have less weight for cubic centimeter, that means that is more light. The cold air tends to displace the warm air and this create a movement that can be from a small wind to a hurricane.
