Lightning is caused by hot air rising and cold air rushing in to fill the space, bumping ice crystals in clouds and creating an electrical charge. It is dangerous to be outside or near metal during a lightning storm, as lightning can strike trees, fences, pipes, and more. Some key safety tips are to get indoors if you hear thunder, avoid swimming or being near bodies of water, and don't touch metal or use wired phones if a storm is occurring.

Lightning and lightning safety
this is a ppt on lighting and lighting safety and this will help you understand what is lighting and how can we protect us from lighting
LIGHTNING FROM INITIATION TO DISCHARGE
The document discusses the process of lightning initiation and discharge. It explains that lightning occurs when positively and negatively charged regions in clouds or between clouds and the ground equalize. The document outlines the step-by-step process where water droplets accumulate in clouds, separating charges and creating an electric field. This electric field produces plasma that provides a path for the lightning bolt to discharge. Different types of lightning are also described such as intra-cloud, cloud-to-ground, and cloud-to-cloud lightning.

The Power Of Lightning
Lightning is an atmospheric discharge of electricity that occurs when negative and positive particles inside storm clouds separate. It forms when the negatively charged bottom of clouds induces a positive charge on the ground, causing a spark to jump between them. Benjamin Franklin famously experimented with lightning by flying a kite during a storm and collecting a spark from the key attached to the kite string. Lightning can heat the air around it to temperatures hotter than the sun's surface and strike at speeds over 130,000 mph.

CYCLONE ITA STRIKES AUSTRALIA 10-11 April 2014Professor Eric K. Noji, M.D., MPH, DTMH(Lon), FRCP(UK)hon
The forecast: Wind gusts of up to 280 kph (175 mph) and heavy rainfall were forecast by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology. Anticipating heavy rainfall, 30,000 were evacuated from low-lying areas known to be susceptible to flooding. Some good news: Wind gusts of up to 280 kmh (175 mph) were forecast by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, but, Ita weakened to a category 4 storm just before making landfall. AND, Ita’s landfall was along a portion of the coast that is lightly populated. As a result, damage was much less than the $3.6 billion price tag of the last Category 4 cyclone that hit Australia’s Queensland State in 2011 —CYCLONE YASI.

The document discusses tornadoes and provides information about their formation, location, and characteristics. Tornadoes form from warm moist air interacting with cold air masses. They most commonly occur in the central US, known as Tornado Alley. Tornadoes are still not fully understood as their behavior can be unpredictable, sometimes dissipating suddenly or combining with other tornadoes. The document also provides historical facts about significant tornadoes and discusses what can be done to improve warnings and shelter from these dangerous storms.
Unit-8_Ceramic Insulators
An electrical insulator is a material that does not allow electric charges to flow freely through it and makes it difficult to conduct electric current. Insulators have atoms with tightly bound electrons that are not free to move between atoms. Some examples of insulators include plastic, rubber, air, wood, ceramics, and porcelain. Ceramics were some of the first materials used for electrical insulation in telegraph lines and were produced commercially in the UK starting in the 1840s due to their strength and heat resistance. While most ceramics insulate electricity, some can conduct at high temperatures or exhibit magnetic properties depending on their chemical composition.
Report1
The document discusses the health effects of radiation exposure from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accidents. It describes that large amounts of radionuclides were released, forcing over 170,000 people to evacuate within 12 miles of the plant. It then explains the types of radiation and their effects, noting that ionizing radiation can break chemical bonds and cause cancer. Specific radionuclides released, iodine-131 and cesium-137, are discussed along with their health risks like increased risk of thyroid cancer. Finally, it concludes by emphasizing the need to avoid rumors and overreaction while gaining proper knowledge about radioactivity.
VOLCANIC ERUPTION.pdf
A volcanic eruption occurs when lava and gas are released from a volcano, sometimes explosively. The most dangerous type is a pyroclastic flow, which is freshly erupted magma that flows down the volcano's sides at over 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit. There are about 1,500 potentially active volcanoes worldwide that can spew hot gases, ash, lava, and rock, endangering life and property especially in populated areas. Before and during an eruption, people should listen to officials, prepare an evacuation plan and kit, close windows and doors, and avoid low-lying areas or seeking shelter indoors if outdoors. After an eruption, continue listening to officials, inspect homes for damage, avoid ash fall
Insulators
This document provides information about electrical insulators. It discusses the materials used for insulators like porcelain, glass, and composite polymers. It also describes the design considerations for insulators to withstand high voltages without breakdown. The types of insulators for overhead power lines are identified as pin, post, suspension, and strain insulators. Class 1 and Class 2 insulation standards are explained. Finally, applications of insulators in high voltage systems, circuit boards and electric wires are mentioned.
Tornado Alley
Tornadoes form from thunderstorms when hot air rises and causes water droplets to form. The interaction of updrafts and downdrafts within the storm creates rotating winds and lightning, which can spawn tornadoes. Tornado Alley, located in the central United States, experiences the most tornadoes annually. The worst outbreak on record was the 1974 Super Outbreak when 148 tornadoes touched down across 13 states over 18 hours, causing $3.5 billion in damage. While tornadoes cannot be stopped, minimizing structure fires and seeking shelter can reduce loss of life.

Thunderstorm and lightining
Thunderstorms require moisture, an air lifting mechanism, and instability to form. They have three stages: cumulus, mature, and dissipating. During the mature stage, rising warm air and falling cold air cause static electricity to build up, resulting in lightning. Lightning is a high-voltage electrical discharge between clouds, air, or clouds and the ground. It can heat the nearby air to 50,000 degrees Celsius and travel at 300,000 m/s. Indoors, one should avoid contact with electrical equipment or plumbing, while outdoors the safest shelters are enclosed buildings or hard-top vehicles.
About earthquake
Lightning is a sudden electrostatic discharge during a storm between charged regions within or between clouds or between a cloud and the ground. Heavier, negatively charged particles sink to the bottom of clouds, building up positive and negative charges until a spark, or lightning, occurs between the charges. Lightning can travel long distances and endanger those outdoors or indoors, conducting through water, metal, and wiring. Safety precautions include avoiding open areas, tall isolated objects, and staying away from plumbing or electronics during storms.
Lightning
Lightning is a huge electric spark caused by the accumulation of charges in clouds. In ancient times, people did not understand lightning and thought it was the wrath of the gods. In 1752, Benjamin Franklin showed that lightning and small sparks are the same phenomenon, but it took 2000 years for this realization. The process of transferring charge from a charged object to the earth is called earthing, which protects buildings from electrical shocks. Lightning occurs when negative and positive charges meet in clouds and streaks of bright light and sound are produced. During thunderstorms, it is important to find safe shelter inside a building or vehicle.
Lightning And Thunder
Lightning is a large-scale electrical discharge that occurs during thunderstorms. It is caused by the buildup of positive and negative charges within a thunderstorm. When the buildup becomes large enough, a lightning bolt occurs as the charges suddenly equalize. There are several types of lightning including sheet lightning, cloud-to-ground lightning, and heat lightning. Thunder is the sound caused by the rapid heating and expansion of the air along the lightning channel.

Tornado-Presentation.pdf
Tornadoes occur most frequently in the central United States, with an average of 800 reported each year. They can cause tremendous destruction with winds over 250 mph and damage paths over a mile wide and 50 miles long, resulting in around 80 deaths and 1,500 injuries annually. A tornado is a violently rotating column of air that extends from a thunderstorm to the ground. Proper shelter is important - move to an interior room on the lowest floor of a sturdy building and avoid windows, or lie in a basement.

Tornadoes
A tornado is a violently rotating column of air that extends from a thunderstorm to the ground. Most tornadoes have wind speeds under 110 mph and dissipate after traveling a short distance. During storms, warm air rises while cold air sinks, causing the warm air to twist into a funnel-shaped spiral. Wall clouds are large cloud formations that often precede tornado formation. The deadliest tornadoes have caused hundreds of deaths and billions in damage, like the Joplin, Missouri tornado of 2011. Tornado Alley in the central US has the highest frequency of tornadoes. Doppler radar and other technologies help forecasters monitor conditions for potential tornado development.

Hail and Snow
Snow and hail form when water condenses and freezes in the atmosphere, falling as precipitation. Snow begins as water droplets that freeze and fall, while hail starts as rain that strong updrafts carry into extremely cold areas high in storms. During snow and hail storms, it is safest to find shelter inside and stay away from windows, wearing layers if going outside. The largest recorded hailstone measured over 20 centimeters wide and weighed nearly 1 kilogram.
Thunder
Thunder is the sound caused when lightning, a huge discharge of electricity between clouds or the cloud and the ground, heats the air and causes it to expand rapidly. When moist air rises quickly in cumulonimbus clouds, the air and water rub against each other building up electricity until lightning flashes. During thunderstorms, it is important to go indoors when thunder roars and avoid trees or poles, and it is safest to be inside a hard top car.
Thunder
Thunder is the sound caused when lightning, a huge discharge of electricity during a thunderstorm, shoots through the air. When lightning strikes, a large amount of electricity travels through the air, causing the air to heat up rapidly and expand, resulting in thunder. The safest place during a thunderstorm is indoors or inside a car with the windows up.
Hurricanes - Ryan, Benjamin, Adele
A hurricane forms over warm ocean waters near the equator when a tropical storm moves over an area of rising warm air. Hurricanes bring heavy rain, strong winds, and sometimes snow. To stay safe during a hurricane, people should stay away from windows and doors, have safety equipment accessible, make sure flashlights are within reach, and avoid rising flood waters.
Hail and Snow
To stay safe during hail or snow storms, find shelter indoors and stay away from windows. If outside, wear layers and stay a safe distance from buildings. Snow forms when water condenses in the atmosphere and falls as snowflakes. Hail starts as rain that strong updrafts carry high into cold areas of thunderstorms where it freezes before falling to the ground as ice. Hail and snow are forms of precipitation that occur when water vapor freezes and falls to the ground as ice or snow.
Fossils
Fossils are the preserved remains of plants and animals that have been turned to stone over long periods of time through mineralization. They are usually not the actual bones or shells but impressions or molds that have absorbed minerals from surrounding rock. While it is rare for organisms to become fossilized, fossils can include bones, shells, footprints, and other remains or traces and range greatly in age, with some of the oldest being over 4.5 billion years old.

Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

By Dr. Vinod Kumar KanvariaA Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
