Look at it , just look at it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But it looks like the lightning is coming out of the volcano. You shall know the TRUTH, and the TRUTH shall set you free. ********************************* rikerglp (at) gmail.com ********************************* |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1246626 United States 01/28/2011 10:29 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I've seen pictures of lightning during eruptions before but the pic at the link of the recent volcanic eruption in Japan really caught my eye. Quoting: RikerWhat causes volcanic lightning? everything I read says that they don't know. Anyone know what the electric universe theory is about it? [link to www.telegraph.co.uk] Perhaps the Seebeck effect ? [link to en.wikipedia.org] |

User ID: 779511 United States 01/31/2011 02:46 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | But why do some volcanoes produce lightning while others don't? More curious, why do some volcanoes with large dusty plumes produce little or no lightning and others with small or mediocre plumes produce much lightning? The simple answer could be that all volcanoes are electric but that the lightning displays happen only when the resistance to the volcanic current is high. You have a good example of this in your home. The electric wires that carry the current from the wall socket to your lamp don't produce heat or light. But when that same current encounters the high resistance of a tungsten filament, it does produce heat and light. By studying the electrical component of volcanoes on Earth, plasma geologists can gather clues about the mysteries of Earth's volcanic geologic history. For example, it may help to explain why volcanism in the past -- the great basalt floods -- was hotter and more voluminous than in the present. And it may even help explain why Mars has volcanoes that are many times larger than any found on Earth today. Were Earth and Mars subjected to more powerful plasma interactions in the past?

Because of this, explanations of all physical phenomena in, on, and near the Earth must take the electrical behavior of plasma into account. The Physics of the Plasma Universe by Anthony Peratt describes magma as a plasma, a medium containing moving charges. So we should expect volcanoes not only to exhibit electrical behavior but to have that behavior connected with the larger plasma environment, that is, to be elements in a larger electrical circuit.
