- What happens from a physics/chemistry point of view when lightning strikes the sea?
Hello All
Has it ever been observed or modeled from a physics or chemistry point of view what happens when a lightning strike hits conductive sea water?
Because of the high current density and presumably high temperature, does the sea water dissociate into hydrogen and oxygen, and then recombine into water, resulting in an explosion?
best regards ... Stef
