Black Sand, Greater Power
Electrical storms generate significant electron flow, particularly on black volcanic sand, leading to greater electrical potential compared to white sand. This phenomenon is influenced by the storm's impact on the ionosphere and the sunlight acting as a cathode ray, which intensifies the energy transmitted to the ground. The heightened electron flow results in more noticeable temperature variations and physical sensations when in contact with black sand, emphasizing the biological implications of grounding through these charged surfaces.
