What is the cause and effect of lighting and thunder?

Question

i need answers

Answer 1

Lightning and Thunder obviously are in storm clouds. The way it forms is cold air from the north and warm air from the south combine together to form a storm cloud/thunder. Ligthning happens when cold and warm air impact together but in a rush kinda way.

Answer 2

lightning   is   the  coming  together   of  two   electrically charged   opposite   areas   in   a  cloud    or  its  vicinity.Thunder   is   the   sound  given   as   the  air   nearest   the   electrical   charge   explodes   from    extreme   heat.Lightning    travels   at  light  speed   and  thunder   travels   at  the  speed  of  sound .That  is  why   you  see   the  flash  of  light   and   then  hear   the  thunder   at   a  precise   time  later   determined  by  your  distance  from  the  explosion   of   the   super  heated  air  molecules.          Thank   you   for   sharing   with  us   here   and  your  inquisative  mind   and  your  wisdom      db

Answer 3

Lightning/thunder is created by the friction of special thunder clouds which suddenly rub together at an amazing speed, you know when you rub some materials in the dark together they make sparks or static? Lightning is the same thing on a MUCH bigger scale..
