SCRIPT VIDEO

A lightning storm. It’s an incredible natural event—one that scientists are still learning about. On hot
summer days, it’s common to see flashes of lightning in the sky. It’s estimated that lightning occurs 50 to
100 times a second around the world. Regions with the most lightning strikes include Central Africa, the
Himalayas, and South America. Lightning is often seen flashing between storm clouds and the earth.
These flashes of light are pure electricity. Scientists aren’t exactly sure how lightning escapes from the
cloud. They think it occurs because of movement of air within rain clouds. Lighter particles moving
toward the top of clouds become positively charged, while heavier particles heading toward the bottom
become negatively charged. In conditions where positive and negative charges grow big enough,
lightning occurs between these regions. Most lightning occurs within the cloud, but some strike the
earth in bright flashes. In these cases, the lightning escapes the cloud and extends toward the ground in
a branching pattern, like a tree. Just one lightning strike contains hundreds of millions of volts, and lasts
less than a second. Lightning seems to take the form of a single flash, but it’s actually several flashes
reaching up into the clouds. Lightning reaches temperatures of more than 28,000 degrees Celsius. This
heat causes air around the lightning to expand, which creates the sound of thunder. In the U.S., lightning
occurs most frequently in Florida. Its hot, wet climate is particularly suited for creating thunder clouds.
Lightning kills a significant number of people each year—nearly 100 people on average in the U.S., more
than hurricanes or tornadoes. During thunderstorms, reduce your risk of getting struck by finding shelter
inside a building or in vehicles. If caught outside, avoid high ground and isolated trees. Lightning is a
natural and common event, but one that can be deadly.

SUMMARY VIDEO

I will summarize the content of the video so you can generally grasp the content in the video.
And I beleive that the content I summarize below may help you in the small game at the end of
the presentation.
The video discusses about the phenomenon of lightning through the following 3 main issues:
explaining how they occur, the potential danger they pose and where in the world they
frequently occur. Lightning is described as a powerful electrical discharge that occurs between
regions of positive and negative charges within storm clouds. Lighter particles moving toward
the top of clouds become positively charged, while heavier particles heading toward the bottom
become negatively charged. In conditions where positive and negative charges grow big enough,
lightning occurs between these regions. It can strike the Earth in bright flashes, reaching
temperatures of more than 28,000 degrees Celcius, hotter than the surface of the sun. And
50000 dgrees Fahrenheit is equipvalent to approximately 28000 degress CelsihhusLightning is a
common occurrence worldwide, with regions like Central Africa, the Himalayas, and South
America experiencing the most strikes. While lightning is a natural event, it can be deadly,
leading to nearly 100 fatalities on average in the U.S each year. It is advised to seek shelter
during thunderstorms to reduce the risk of being struck by lightning.
And in this last part we have a small game for you to consolidate your knowledge. We will play
