    Weather Phenomena

    • Lightning forms when there is a buildup of electrical charges in the atmosphere, typically during thunderstorms, resulting from the friction of ice crystals and water droplets in clouds.
    • Rainbows form after rainfall due to the refraction and dispersion of sunlight as it passes through water droplets in the air, creating the colors of the rainbow.

    Seismic Activity

    • Earthquakes are primarily caused by the movement of tectonic plates in the Earth's lithosphere, which can lead to the release of energy in the form of seismic waves.
