Consider the following statements about positive cloud to ground lightning.
1. It accounts for a minority of cloud to ground flashes.
2. It often originates in the stratiform region of a storm.
3. It transfers less charge than a negative flash typically does.

  • A.1 and 2 only
  • B.3 only
  • C.1 only
  • D.All of them

Answer: A

The first two are correct. The third reverses the comparison, since positive flashes commonly transfer considerably more charge and carry longer continuing currents. Their rarity is offset by their greater individual effect.
