Lightning is a sudden, violent flash of electricity between a cloud and the ground or cloud and
cloud and the ground, or cloud and cloud.
A lighting flash or bold can be several miles long. Its extremely hot with an average temperature of
34,000 centigrade, that makes the air around it suddenly expand with a loud blast. This is the thunder we
hear. Lightning occurs in hot, wet storms. Most air, is driven up to a great height, forming a type of cloud
called cumulo nimbus. When the cloud rises high enough, the moisture freezes and ice crystals and
snowflakes are formed. These begin to fall, turning to rain on the way down. This rain meets the moist air
rising and its the friction between them witch produces static electricity. When a cloud is fully charged

GORILLAS
Gorillas are the largest of all the primates. A male gorilla can be 180 centimetres
tall and can weigh 200 kilograms. Gorillas are very strong but they do not often fight. In fact
they are peaceful animals. Gorillas live in small family groups of about 15. In a group there is one
strong, older male, some young males, and a few females with their babies. They move slowly
around a large area of jungle eating leaves and bushes.
In some ways gorillas are very like humans. When they are happy, they laugh and wave their
arms. When they are angry, they beat their chests. When they are sad, they cry. But they cry
