yes, there is so much friction in the atmosphere (particles moving around really really fast) that it creates satic thus creating thunder

Facinating. I love how the people work hard and work together and no looting! I really like how they have and use facemasks. We need to be able to have and use facemasks here in USA but often they are NOT to be found or if found VERY expensive!! Good Luck and Thanks.

I love the part at 0:15 when you can see all of the trapped gas just below the surface explode out of vents along the side of the volcano.

[@juggis]

Those are volcanic bombs and pumice ejected from the crater.
