What cause electrical storms to form above volcanoes?
Looking at the photographs of the year, I was struck by the first one of a ball of lightning above the Chaiten volcano. The caption states: “Cases of electrical storms breaking out directly above erupting volcanoes are well documented, although scientists differ on what causes them.”
So what are the different theories? I’ve never seen or heard of this amazing phenomenon before. I must know more.
