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.

List at least TWO ways desertification in Africa is effecting the environment, from the Sahel to the rainforest.
7nadin3 [17]
"Desertification causes the savannas in the Sahel to disappear. It also causes the already vast Sahara desert to spread to more places than just where it currently is. So in short... the Sahel and rain forests are shrinking and the Sahara is growing." (Answers.com)
