Catatumbo Lightning is like a common thunderstorm. Contrary to usual thunderstorm it always takes place in the same place andcan be observed 140-160 nights per year, 10 hour long.
Thunder strarts approximately one hour after the dawn. It is very intense, there can be observed 20.000 flashes one night. Single lightning are 100.000-400.000 amperes strong - like common average positive lightning,
Lightning often is orange and red. Forthe most part, it is not audible, only sometimes there is heeard distant thunder.
What are the characteristics of Lightning Catatumbo?
1. Happens all the times
2. Lightning seemed to say
3. The flash of light is visible up to a distance of hundred of kilometers
What is the process of creating Lightning Catatumbo?
1. The occurence of gas clouds
The Catatumbo river flows through a large swamp containinga lot of decomposed organic matter. As a result of the decay ofthe these organic materials, gas clouds are formed.
2. Gas clouds collide with strong winds
The gas cloud formed due to the decay process of organic matter will be blown by the wind or will increase. The higher the air pressure the lower. this causes winds from the alps to cause certain conditions.
3. The occurence of differences in electric potential
The collision between the gas cloud and the strong wind above will cause the meeting of two different circumstances. The difference in electricity will cause flash reactions and sometimes cause noisy roar.
4. Arose lightning jumping from one cloud to another cloud
When lightning arises, these lightning bolts will jump from onr cloud to another cloud. This is because many clouds are foremed so that the lightning in question will mutually respond. Because it is muttering, the lightning that appears is like a rain.
The result of Lightning Catatumbo
1. The biggest ozone production area in the world
2. Electricity production reaches up the thousands of amperes
3. Regions that are relatively dangeorous for humans to a approach
