Thunderstorms do not cause earthquakes. Earthquakes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface, while thunderstorms are atmospheric disturbances caused by the convection of warm and cool air masses. These two natural phenomena are unrelated.
Earthquakes themselves do not directly cause thunderstorms and lightning. However, seismic activity can sometimes trigger small electrical discharges called "earthquake lights" that might be mistaken for lightning. Thunderstorms are typically caused by atmospheric conditions, not seismic activity.
No. Altocumulus do not cause thunderstorms, but altocumulus castellanus can be a sign that thunderstorms will develop later in the day.
No, plate boundaries do not directly cause tornadoes. Tornadoes are typically formed in severe thunderstorms when warm, moist air interacts with cool, dry air and winds create a rotating column of air. Plate boundaries are more associated with tectonic activity such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
Tsunamis and thunderstorms are typically unrelated phenomena. Tsunamis are caused by underwater earthquakes or volcanic activity, while thunderstorms are caused by the atmospheric conditions that lead to the formation of thunder and lightning.

No. Tornadoes are produced by thunderstorms. They have absolutely nothing to do with earthquakes.

Yes. Thunderstorms cause the vast majority of lightning.
Thunderstorms and earthquakes are caused by different phenomena and are not usually directly related. Thunderstorms are caused by unstable atmospheric conditions, while earthquakes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates in the Earth's crust. However, some studies suggest that changes in atmospheric conditions associated with thunderstorms may trigger small and shallow earthquakes.
No. Altocumulus do not cause thunderstorms, but altocumulus castellanus can be a sign that thunderstorms will develop later in the day.
Thunderstorms can cause sand or dust storms. They can also lead to flash flooding.
No, plate boundaries do not directly cause tornadoes. Tornadoes are typically formed in severe thunderstorms when warm, moist air interacts with cool, dry air and winds create a rotating column of air. Plate boundaries are more associated with tectonic activity such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
No. Thunderstorms are a meteorological phenomenon, not a religious experience.
Tsunamis and thunderstorms are typically unrelated phenomena. Tsunamis are caused by underwater earthquakes or volcanic activity, while thunderstorms are caused by the atmospheric conditions that lead to the formation of thunder and lightning.
No. Tornadoes can cause mild ground vibrations, enough to register on a seismograph, but not enough to be felt, but one would hardly call that an earthquake. Tornadoes are caused by severe thunderstorms. Earthquakes are caused by movement in Earth's crust. Such forces are completely unrelated.
Earthquakes have a geological cause.
