Typically during thunderstorms most lightning strikes carry a negative electric charge; only a few carry a positive charge. Thunderstorms with unusually high proportions of positive-charge strikes tend to occur in smoky areas near forest fires. The fact that smoke carries positively charged smoke particles into the air above a fire suggests the hypothesis that the extra positive strikes occur because of the presence of such particles in the storm clouds.
Which of the following, if discovered to be true, most seriously undermines the hypothesis?
Other kinds of rare lightning also occur with unusually high frequency in the vicinity of forest fires.
The positive-charge strikes that occur near forest fires tend to be no more powerful than positive strikes normally are.
A positive-charge strike is as likely to start a forest fire as a negative charge strike is.
Thunderstorms that occur in drifting clouds of smoke have extra positive-charge strikes weeks after the charge of the smoke particles has dissipated.
The total number of lightning strikes during a thunderstorm is usually within the normal range in the vicinity of a forest fire.
太难读懂了!理解了很久,结论应该是说正电击发生是因为烟雾中正电离子的存在,weaken中讲即使烟雾物质消散数周后,云中还是有正电离子在。抨击点居然是关于谁中的正电离子……太别扭了
