Question 1 Report

What is the benefit of thunder and lightning to farmers?
Answer Details
Thunder and lightning are natural phenomena that occur during thunderstorms. Thunderstorms usually bring rain, and rainwater is essential for crop growth. When lightning occurs, it splits nitrogen molecules in the air which then combine with oxygen to form nitrates. These nitrates dissolve in the rainwater and are deposited in the soil as it rains. Nitrates are an essential nutrient for plants and help them to grow better. Therefore, the benefit of thunder and lightning to farmers is that they add nitrates to the soil, which can lead to increased crop yields.
