How Lightning Shapes the Chemistry of Our Atmosphere
• Lightning causes nitrogen fixation, which converts atmospheric nitrogen into plant nutrients.
• Lightning affects air quality and ozone formation through chemical reactions.
• Scientists use advanced tools to study lightning and its impact on atmospheric chemistry.
Lightning shapes atmospheric chemistry significantly
Lightning, a dramatic display of nature's power, plays a significant role in shaping the chemistry of our atmosphere. Beyond its visual spectacle and potential danger, lightning strikes trigger complex chemical reactions that influence the composition of the air we breathe and the ecosystems around us.
