Answer» here is your answer mate !!Explanation:a]Cloud-to-ground LIGHTNING comes from the sky down, but the part you see comes from the ground up. A typical cloud-to-ground flash lowers a path of negative electricity (that we cannot see) TOWARDS the ground in a series of spurts. When these TWO paths meet, a return stroke zips back up to the sky.b]A lightning rod or lightning conductor is a metal rod mounted on a structure and INTENDED to protect the structure from a lightning strike . |
