Answer:

FLASH TO BANG RULE.

Explanation:

The “Flash-To-Bang” theory measures the time from when you see lightning to the time you hear the associated thunder. A measure of 5 seconds from Flash-To-Bang means lightning is one mile (1.6km) away. Ten seconds equals 2 miles (3.2km); 15 seconds equals 3 miles(4.8km).

Light travels faster than sound, so lightning will be seen before hearing it (the thunder is the sound of the lightning strike).

The speed of sound travels at around 340m/s, multiplied by 3 is about 1kilometer. So the number of seconds divided by 3 is how many kilometers away the lightning struck is.

The number of miles away a thunder struck is, can be calculated by dividing the seconds by 5.

What do you think is the most compelling scientific reason NOT to build offshore wind farms?
aliya0001 [1]
The most compelling scientific reason not to build offshore wind farms is the impact these wind farms will have on the environment. They are relatively expensive to build and the question that needs to be asked is how long it will take to pay for themselves and then start generating a profit. A more compelling reason not to build wind farms is that there have not been enough environment impact studies to show the impact of these farms on the marine life. It is known that seabirds can fly into the turbine blades; thereby, killing themselves and destroying the turbines.
