What is the origin of storm?
966354
A storm is any disturbed state of a planet's atmosphere, especially affecting its surface, and strongly implying severe weather. It may be marked by strong wind (a wind storm), thunder and lightning (a thunderstorm), heavy precipitation, such as ice (ice storm), or wind transporting some substance through the atmosphere (as in a dust storm, snowstorm, hailstorm, etc).\n\nFormation\nStorms are created when a center of low pressure develops, with a system of high pressure surrounding it. This combination of opposing forces can create winds and result in the formation of storm clouds, such as the cumulonimbus. Small, localized areas of low pressure can form from hot air rising off hot ground, resulting in smaller disturbances such as dust devils and whirlwinds.\n\nYou could get more information from the link below...

Well, first off it's probably in the tropics...  ;)\n\nI cut and pasted this part (sorry, feeling lazy):\n\n"In meteorology, a tropical cyclone is a storm system with a closed circulation around a center of low pressure, fueled by the heat released when moist air rises and condenses. The name underscores their origin in the tropics and their cyclonic nature. They are distinguished from other cyclonic storms such as nor'easters and polar lows by the heat mechanism that fuels them, which makes them "warm core" storm systems.\n\nDepending on their strength and location, a tropical cyclone can be called a tropical depression, tropical storm, hurricane, or typhoon, among other names.\n\nTropical cyclones can produce extremely high winds, tornadoes, torrential rain (leading to mudslides and flash floods), and drive storm surge onto coastal areas. Though the effects on populations and ships can be catastrophic, tropical cyclones have been known to relieve drought conditions. They carry heat away from the tropics, an important mechanism of the global atmospheric circulation that maintains equilibrium in the environment." (wikipedia - see below)

You're right--lightning is just a spark. BUT it's a spark caused by massive voltage. Voltage can be defined as a difference in electrical potential between two points, with one point having a high negative electrical charge, the other a high positive electrical charge. This difference in electrical potential can become enormous when a thunderstorm gets going full force.\n\nRain and/or hail in the storm clouds are violently rubbed together by high-velocity winds, thus building up a net negative electrical charge (abundance of electrons). On the ground below the clouds no such action takes place, thus the ground has a net positive electrical charge (deficiency of electrons).\n\nEven though air is a very good insulator, the difference in electrical potential (voltage) between the storm clouds and ground can quickly reach as high as 500,000 volts, more than enough to produce a lightning "spark."

by the effect of wind.\n      the rain comes from too height & there the speed of air is very fast 'n' due to it the angle deflected.this deflected angle is very short but the height is too large so it seems like a big deflection.

A given cell of a thunderstorm goes through three stages: the cumulus stage, the mature stage, and the dissipation stage.\n\nIn the cumulus stage of a thunderstorm cell, masses of moisture are pushed upwards. The trigger for this can be solar insolation heating the ground producing thermals, areas where two winds converge forcing air upwards, or where winds blow over areas of high ground. The moisture rapidly cools into liquid drops of water, which appears as cumulus clouds. As the water vapour condenses into liquid, latent heat is released which warms the air, causing it to become less dense than the surrounding dry air, and so the air will tend to rise in an updraft due to the process of convection (hence the term convective precipitation). This creates a low-pressure zone beneath the forming thunderstorm. In a typical thunderstorm, some 5×108 kg of water vapour are lifted and the amount of energy released when this condenses is about equal to the energy used by a city (US-2002) of 100,000 during a month.\n\nIn the mature stage, the warmed air continues to rise until it reaches existing air which is itself warmer, and the air can rise no further. Often this 'cap' is the tropopause. The air is instead forced to spread out, giving the storm a characteristic anvil shape. The resulting cloud is called cumulonimbus incus. The water droplets coalesce into heavy droplets and freeze to become ice particles. As these fall they melt, to become rain. If the updraft is strong enough, the droplets are held aloft long enough to be so large that they do not melt completely as they fall and fall as hail. While updrafts are still present, the falling rain creates downdrafts as well. The presence of both updrafts and downdrafts during this stage can cause considerable internal turbulence in the storm system, which sometimes manifests as strong winds, severe lightning, and even tornadoes. If there is little wind shear, the storm will rapidly 'rain itself out', but if there is sufficient change in wind speed and/or direction the downdraft will be separated from the updraft, and the storm may become a supercell.\n\nFinally, in the dissipation stage, updraft conditions no longer exist, and the storm is characterized largely by weak downdrafts. Because most of the moisture has precipitated out, there is not sufficient moisture in the lower air to sustain the cycle and the thunderstorm

It doesn't just happen all of a sudden, as OBIWAUGH pointed out, the movement of air caused by the storm causes the clouds to acquire a polarized electrical charge that by nature has to release its energy.\nThat energy is the lightning bolt reaching out to an oppositely charged object to balance the energy.

It's a huge storm.  Also a play by Shakespeare.  The word also refers to external electromagnetic radiation from data processing equipment and the security measures used to prevent them.  I hope this helps.

the flash of electricity is lightning... the sound that follow is thunder... storm usually occurs when lightning, thunder, strong wind and rain happen at the same time...

A storm becomes a supercell about five seconds before my crazy tornado freak father calls my house and says, "you better get your a$$ over here, there's a supercell heading this way and we have to get into the cellar."  The supercell has been downgraded to a thunderstorm about five seconds before my crazy tornado freak father calls my house and says, "you're damn lucky that storm didn't spawn any tornados, your little a$$ would've been blown away. "

No exaggeration. But the type of storm is often different.\nBritain to my knowledge has only had the one hurricane in recent times and that was around 1987. I remember it well. Our position is too far up north for something like Katrina.\n\nSeems you are trying to stir up some storms yourself with a question like this

They are doing work with lasers on effecting weather and often people have 'cannons' for hail with the idea that the sound waves will break up the ice. I'm not sure about bombing the storm. Storms are created by a range of factors that would not be all effected by a bomb. The website is complicated but talks about the use of high frequency waves to achieve this. most military applications are to do with clearing fog etc...to allow for a strategic advantage.

hurricanes are given names. Why is that? To help us identify storms and track them as they move across the ocean. Remember, there can be more than one hurricane at a time and without naming them, we could get confused and which storm we're talking about.\n\nFor hundreds of years, hurricanes in the West Indies were named after the particular saint's day on which the hurricane occurred. An Australian meteorologist began giving women's names to tropical storms before the end of the 19th century. In 1953, the U.S. National Weather Service, which is the federal agency that tracks hurricanes and issues warnings and watches, began using female names for storms. \n\nIn 1979, both women and men's names were used. One name for each letter of the alphabet is selected, except for Q, U and Z. For Atlantic Ocean hurricanes, the names may be French, Spanish or English, since these are the major languages bordering the Atlantic Ocean where the storm occur. \n\nSo who decides what names are used each year? The World Meteorological Organization uses six lists in rotation. The same lists are reused every six years. The only time a new name is added is if a hurricane is very deadly or costly. Then the name is retired and a new name is chosen.\n\nhope this helps dude

Atmospheric bressure, the shorter the distance between the isobars indicates that a storm is brewing

well, to be honest, i think all the options above suck. \n\nstorm surges are related to a lowering of atmospheric pressure allowing the sea water beneath a storm to rise. they are typically associated with hurricanes, but could occur with large thunderstorms under teh right conditions. \n\nhurricane winds typically reach over 180mph. when have you ever been in a thunder storm with winds that high?!? the hurricane classification system is based on wind speeds and damage. a thunderstorm is towards the lower end of the spectrum, followed by tropical storms and hurricanes. so no, a thunderstorm does not have faster winds than a hurricane, that is just ridiculous. \n\ni find it hard to belive that thunderstorms have more evaporated precipitation than a hurricane, but i may be wrong. thunderstorms mainly release built up electrical charge whearas hurricanes are a culmination of evaporating water over the warm, deep areas of the atlantic ocean. \n\nhurricanes winds do spiral due to the corriolis effect. i cant remember which way though. i wouldnt say that thunderstorm winds blow in a straight line, there is bound to be turbulence to some extent. \n\nso in short, none of the statments suggested in the questions is really correct.

THE CENTER OF A STORM -- THE "EYE" -- IS HIGH-PRESSURE, CALM AIR TO MILD BREEZE. \nTHE LOW-PRESSUERE PART OF THE STORM IS WHAT PUSHES BUILDINGS DOWN AND TIDES INLAND.
