These charges are discharged as lightning when they become too great to be contained within the cloud.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dangers of Lightning:<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Lightning can be extremely dangerous as it can cause fires, damage structures, and harm people and animals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It can cause injuries or even fatalities when it strikes individuals directly or through conductive materials.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Safety Tips:<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Indoors is Safest:<\/strong> When there is lightning, the safest place to be is indoors. Stay away from windows, doors, and electrical appliances.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Avoid Water:<\/strong> Avoid taking a bath or shower, washing dishes, or swimming during a thunderstorm.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Unplug Electronics:<\/strong> Unplug electronic devices and appliances to protect them from power surges.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stay Away from Tall Objects:<\/strong> Do not stand near tall objects like trees, poles, or metal objects during a storm.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lightning Safety Position:<\/strong> If caught outside with no shelter, crouch down with your feet close together, cover your ears, and minimize your contact with the ground.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Safety Indoors:<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Avoid using corded phones or any electronic devices connected to the wall.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wait 30 minutes after the last clap of thunder before going back outside.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Safety Outdoors:<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If you are outside and cannot find shelter, do not stand under trees or in open fields. Find a low-lying area and crouch down.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do not seek shelter in small, isolated structures like sheds or outhouses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lightning Myths:<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Contrary to popular belief, rubber tires do not protect you from lightning in a car. It&#8217;s the metal frame of the car that provides protection.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Teaching Others:<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Educate your friends and family about lightning safety to keep them safe during storms.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Emergency Preparedness:<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Have an emergency kit ready with essentials like flashlights, batteries, first-aid supplies, and non-perishable food items in case of power outages caused by lightning strikes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lightning Detectors and Apps:<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Some smartphones and weather apps provide real-time lightning strike alerts, which can be helpful in staying safe.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-large-font-size\" style=\"color:#d90000\"><strong>Let&#8217;s practice!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wordwall.net\/play\/82712\/973\/480\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/8thclass.deltapublications.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Worksheet-1-2-135.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7929\" srcset=\"https:\/\/8thclass.deltapublications.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Worksheet-1-2-135.png 500w, https:\/\/8thclass.deltapublications.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Worksheet-1-2-135-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/8thclass.deltapublications.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Worksheet-1-2-135-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wordwall.net\/play\/81650\/673\/614\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/8thclass.deltapublications.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Worksheet-1-1-1-133.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7930\" srcset=\"https:\/\/8thclass.deltapublications.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Worksheet-1-1-1-133.png 500w, https:\/\/8thclass.deltapublications.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Worksheet-1-1-1-133-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/8thclass.deltapublications.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Worksheet-1-1-1-133-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lightning Safety Key Notes : Let&#8217;s practice!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-4001","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","entry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_hostinger_reach_plugin_has_subscription_block":false,"_hostinger_reach_plugin_is_elementor":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/8thclass.deltapublications.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4001","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/8thclass.deltapublications.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/8thclass.deltapublications.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/8thclass.deltapublications.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/8thclass.deltapublications.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4001"}],"version-history":[{"count":14,"href":"https:\/\/8thclass.deltapublications.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4001\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19871,"href":"https:\/\/8thclass.deltapublications.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4001\/revisions\/19871"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/8thclass.deltapublications.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4001"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
