what happened when the lightning struck?

Question

I jus t want find out as to what's real been deposited when the lightning enters the object wether that something is in solid or liquid state

Answer 1

if it hits the earth it melts whatever substance it encounters. i saw lightning hit a tree with a chain supporting a tire for a swing, it went down the tree trough the chain then arced and struck the earth. the chain links were fused together

Answer 2

Nothing is actually "deposited", lightening is just electricity, so I guess e-, and when in comes into contact with an object, it superheats it (creating a charge). So, for example if it struck a rock contraining high amounts of silica, then the rock would melt and you would get a glass-like texture. If it struck something like a granite, however, which has large crystals and has already been subjected to high temperatures, it will just dissipate the heat. Likewise to water - water is a good conductor, so water again would dissipate the heat and you "might" get some sublimation or superheating of the water the lightning directly hits.
Hope that answers your question

Answer 3

It is high volt electrical energy coming from the cloud to earth.The lightening will be more near the equator. The lightening releases the energy required to burn several lacks of electric bulbs. It finds its shortest route to reach the earth. Therefore tall building tall trees, and tall men are affected by lightning. Best thing to save the life is go inside a building or sit like a ball in the open ground.

get a galvanised wash tub, a kite and some string, take off your shoes and socks and go find a thunderstorm.......
