How did the Catatumbo Lightning, which lasted the longest, come about?

As for the cause of the lightning phenomenon in Catatumbo, meteorologists believe so, that the clouds floating from the Andes produce storms and lightning due to collisions with each other, in addition, there is a lot of organic matter in the marshy areas of Lake Maracaibo. These organic substances produce large amounts of biogas. When this lighter-than-air biogas rises to the clouds, it discharges.

Black clouds can be seen gathering over the Maracaibo River for 5 miles (160 km) every 8 nights, lasting about 10 hours each time, every 5 nights.

However, Venezuelans are proud of this miracle, and the storm is a natural beacon for local fishermen to sail at night. Occasionally, the scene would stop for a few weeks, especially in 2010, when locals feared it was caused by a severe drought caused by an over-reliance on hydropower. As a result of these frequent and intense lightnings, this small region is also considered the world's largest producer of tropospheric ozone, a miracle that Venezuelans are proud of.

Storms and lightning in the Catatumbo region can come from violent mountain winds in the Andes that blow nearby ionized gases, especially methane from the breakdown of organic matter in the swamps.

These ionized gases are lighter than air and rise into the clouds when exposed to wind, causing a violent phenomenon of charging and discharging, known as lightning. The largest and longest-lasting lightning bolt on Earth, very rare, occurs only in one part of the Catatumbo estuary in Venezuela, where the intersection of hot and cold fronts will form a perfect state formed by lightning.

The longest lasting Catatumbo lightning, thunderclouds piling up to form lightning, thunderclouds are thicker in this area, so lightning appears for a lot longer than other places!

The longest-lasting Katatumbo lightning is closely related to the Earth's magnetic field and solar wind. The other is the village of Kongu Miraldo, which has a unique geographical location. It is closely related to the Earth's magnetic field.

It may have been clouds drifting from the Andes, resulting in storms and lightning as a result of the collision; The organic matter in the maracaibo marshes produces a large amount of biogas, which is lighter than air and discharges when it rises to the clouds.

Originating from the strong mountain wind blowing in the Andes to the nearby ionized gas, the ionized gas has a low density, and rises to the clouds after encountering the wind, producing a violent charge-discharge phenomenon.

The "Catatumbo Lightning" is a mysterious and unique natural phenomenon that occurs in Lake Maracaibo, the mouth of the Catatumbo River in Venezuela. "Catatumbo Lightning" is actually lightning from cloud to cloud, but its peculiarity is that lightning lasts for a very long time.

There are between 140 and 160 nights of lightning at the mouth of the Catatumbo River 365 days a year, and lightning lasts more than 10 hours a day, with an average of 280 lightning strikes per hour! The arc of electricity generated by the Catatumbo Lightning in the night sky is impressive, reaching an altitude of more than 5 kilometers. The most frequent area of the "Catatumbo lightning" is the marshy area of Lake Maracaibo, where more than 1 million lightning strikes occur each year, with a total current of 400,000 amperes.

Since the "Catatumbo Lightning" can be seen from 400 kilometers away, many ships sailing in the area have regarded these frequent lightning bolts as beacons for navigation over the past few hundred years.

Some scientists have also judged based on the frequency and intensity of the discharge of the "Catatumbo lightning" that the Maracaibo marsh is one of the largest ozone producers in the world.

Meteorologists believe that the causes of the phenomenon of "Catatumbo lightning" are as follows: clouds drifting from the Andes Mountains produce storms and lightning due to collisions with each other; In addition, there is a lot of organic matter in the maracaibo marshes, which produce a large amount of biogas, which is lighter than air and discharges when it rises to the clouds.

If the above explanation is correct, then we can summarize it as follows according to the above principle:

1. According to the research of space science, the earth's electromagnetic field is related to the solar wind. Then there is a weak correlation between Catatumbo lightning and the rotation of the earth, which means that Catatumbo lightning has a certain law with local time. This is mentioned in the above report.

2. The earth's electromagnetic field is related to the solar wind, and the occurrence of Catatumbo lightning is closely related to the sun's activity cycle. Research on this has to be done by wealthy people.

3. The water surface of Kongu Milardo Village has a unique geographical location, where the earth's electromagnetic field can be used to generate electricity at the lowest cost. As for the method of generating electricity, please refer to my book "The Earth's Magnetic Field".

The Catatumbo lightning phenomenon is unique in the world. This phenomenon occurs in Venezuela at the confluence of Lake Maracaibo and the Catatumbo River. This lightning, which is formed by the accumulation of thunderclouds, occurs up to 280 times a night on about 140 to 160 nights each year, and the arc formed by the lightning can reach 5 kilometers long, with an intensity of up to 400,000 amperes and a visual distance of up to 400 kilometers.

According to experts, the reason for the formation of the storm is due to the collision of thunderclouds in the Andes, while the cause of the formation of lightning is due to the accumulation of ionized gases such as methane released by the decomposition of organic matter in the marshes of the region on top of the clouds to form lightning. Therefore, lightning always comes with a storm. Some scientists also judge based on the frequency of the occurrence of "Catatumbo lightning" and the intensity of the discharge:

The Maracaibo Lake marsh region is one of the world's largest ozone producers. A few days ago, scientists called for the declaration of the village of Congu Miraldo in Venezuela as a World Natural Heritage Site.
