Al-Misnad added, through his account on the “X” platform:

“When volcanoes erupt, hot gases and lava rush outward, as these gases contain electrically charged particles, which may be positive or negative, and when friction occurs between these particles inside the dense gray clouds emanating from the volcano, electrical discharges are produced that appear in the form of lightning.” .
