Ber [7]

Answer:

Lightning can be best described as an electrical discharge, which is caused by the imbalances between the clouds and the storm and the ground or sometime within the cloud. It carries around 20,000 to 30,000 ampere of current when it comes to the ground.

It is not only the direct hit of the lightning that make you worry, but any strike that is close to us can be dangerous to us as it results in the release of huge amount of electricity in the surrounding area.

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

Stephen Stearns states that natural selection doesn't mean the survival of the fittest organisms, but rather this mechanism is illustrated by the selective reproduction of the fittest. Natural selection can be classified into distinct types, including directional, disruptive and stabilizing selection, which are in turn based on sexual selection. These types of selection are driven by different outcomes that have different dynamics.
