Apr 26 2017 yes because of the high heat generated by the lightning the color and texture depend on the sand and what else is mixed in with the sand also downed power lines can also do that but on a much smaller scale we had a line down due to a car knocking over a pole after it was fixed i went and checked the dirt there and found some dime and nickle size pieces of melted sanddirt or psudoglass
To make glass the sand together with limestone and soda is heated to 1400 c unlike opaque materials like metals the electrons in the resulting compound dont have much freedom within its crystalline structure and thus are not very effective at absorbing light energy so light can pass through relatively unscathed
Jul 21 2013 they now strongly feel the glass was a product of a meteor exploding into an aerial burst right before impact to the earth causing the surface temperature to reach 1800 degrees celsius3272 degrees fahrenheit so violently hot that the sand was turned to this yellowgreen glass it is estimated to have occurred some 30 million years ago

Apr 13 2018 our understanding of trinitite has changed recently at first scientists assumed that the grains of sand that turned into this material had melted at ground level but a 2010 study found that the sand was actually pulled up into the heart of the explosion where high temperatures liquified it the stuff later rained down cooled and turned solid
Carved into stone tablets about 5000 years ago in mesopotamia the formula still holds true today you take common sand silica soda and lime mix it up heat it shape it into the desired form and cool it back down source martin while the glassmaking process is more involved than either pliny or we describe it this is the basic formula
