About this ebook
""Glass Forms Naturally"" explores the fascinating geological phenomenon of fulgurites, the glassy formations created when lightning strikes sandy soils.
These natural glasses offer a unique window into the power of lightning and the composition of the earth.
Intriguingly, the book reveals how the moisture content and specific characteristics of lightning strikes play a crucial role in fulgurite formation.
Understanding these factors helps scientists predict where fulgurites might be found and interpret their unique structures.
