Volcanic Lightning

Lately, this topic "Volcanic Lightning" intrigues me. The work of nature dan kehebatan kekuasaan Allah sentiasa membuatkan saya terpana. Subhanallah, memang akal manusia tidak mampu untuk memahami ilmu yang luas dan manusia hanya mampu memperolehi sedikit daripada pengetahuan Allah S.W.T. 

Volcanic Lightning is a type of Lightning that is formed in a volcanic eruption. Seperti Lightning yang biasa kita lihat dan amati ketika hujan lebat, Volcanic Lightning mempunyai konsep yang sama. Ianya terjadi disebabkan oleh static that comes from ash and rocks evoke by the volcanoes. Akan tetapi, naturally, ash dan rocks are neutral and so it is not possible to create big voltage from neutral matter walaupun they are colliding and sliding with each other. In volcanic eruptions' case, disebabkan oleh temperature yang panas maka some of the rocks and ashes produced are positively and negatively charged which in turn will create a lightning just like the one we studied in physics. Semua ini hanyalah teori saintis - saintis and they hope that they can find a better explanation for this. Persoalannya, where is the background electric field that charges the particles came from? Here's some spectacular pictures of Volcanic Lightning, "Beautiful yet deadly"
