For those who study earthquakes, one major challenge has been trying to understand all the physics of a fault-both during an earthquake and at times of “rest”-in order to know more about how a particular region may behave in the future. Now, researchers at the
Lightning discharges in the atmosphere are familiar, but what about the ones underground?
The electrical phenomenon we call lightning is not well understood. The most common interpretation involves the circulation of water vapor up and down through clouds in a process called convection. Water is heated by the Sun until it evaporates, rising into the air…
