fulgorology
Fulgorology is the study of fulgurites, which are natural glass or glassy tubes formed when lightning strikes sand or soil. These fascinating geological formations are created by the intense heat and rapid melting of silica-rich materials, followed by quick cooling. The process essentially fuses the sand grains together, creating a hollow or solid structure that often resembles the branching path of the lightning strike itself.
Fulgurites can vary greatly in size, shape, and color depending on the composition of the ground struck
The scientific study of fulgurites, fulgorology, seeks to understand the electrical and thermal processes involved in
