Which atmospheric consequence occurs when lightning strikes soil?

💡 Explanation

Lightning strikes cause atmospheric nitrogen fixation because the high energy breaks nitrogen triple bonds, therefore N₂ reacts with oxygen to form nitrogen oxides, rather than nitrogen remaining inert and unavailable to plants.
