A thunderstorm is a storm where you hear thunder and see lightning. Usually there is heavy rain in a thunderstorm. Thunderstorms are electric storms. When there is about to be a thunderstorm, a cumulonimbus cloud forms, often in a clear blue sky. (When a cloudâs name ends in nimbus, it means rain or snow is falling from the cloud.) The cloud increases in size and begins to build up peaks, which become very dark.
Thunderstorms always have lightning (thunder is caused by lightning, and you can't have a thunderstorm without thunder), but you can have lightning without a thunderstorm. Lightning can also be seen in volcanic eruptions, extremely intense forest fires, surface nuclear detonations, and in heavy snowstorms.hat tends to happen when lightning strikes ground is that it fuses dirt and clays in to silicas. The result is often a glassy rock (called a fulgurite) in the shape of a convoluted tube. Fulgurite has been found all over the world, but is relatively rare.
