Summary

During the frequent eruptions of the Sakurajima volcano in Japan, multiple electrical discharges (sparks) flash over the volcano's crater, lighting up the sky and sending out sound waves that resemble thunder. This, however, is not a lightning display in a thunderstorm, with electrified clouds of water drops discharging to the ground. This is something very different. How does the region above the volcano become electrified, and is there any way to tell if the sparks travel up from the crater or down to it? The answer is in Chapter 23. Book jacket.
