By Sophi B. MooreThunder and Lightning

What are They?A giant spark of electricity is lightningThunder makes a loud booming noise after lightning strikes.They are both a part of storms.In storm clouds, electricity is let loose.

What Makes Lightning?Storm clouds hold pieces of ice and rain.The pieces of ice start to move fast.In the clouds, the movement stirs up electricity.When the electricity becomes strong, lightning strikes.

What Makes Thunder?Lightning heating in the air is the sound of thunder.Thunder and lightning happen at the same time.But the light travels faster than the sound so you should see the lightning before you hear the sound.

Lightning BoltsThe lines of lightning are the boltsBolts of lightning can be up to a whole 10 miles long!The bolts come down in a not straight crooked line.Sometimes the line will break into lots of smaller bolts.

When Lightning StrikesBolts of lightning are very hot.Lightning strikes the high things.The strike can kill or burn whatever it touches.
