Natural Disaster Infographic: How Lightning Forms Diagram

Weather / safety infographic titled "How Lightning Forms". Archetype: FORMATION DIAGRAM. Isometric 3D, high-contrast modern palette, editorial science-education illustration, scientifically accurate. Show a storm cloud and atmosphere in a clean isometric cutaway scene, focusing on the physics of lightning formation rather than earthquake effects, with clear numbered stages, cross-sections, arrows, energy flow, charge separation, and terrain context. Include 6 numbered stages, each with a short heading IN English, a one-line caption IN English, and a scientific cue icon. Stage 1: "Warm Air Rises" — moist warm air rises into a thundercloud and begins strong convection. Icon: upward airflow arrows. Stage 2: "Ice And Water Collide" — droplets, ice crystals, and graupel collide inside the cloud as turbulence intensifies. Icon: ice crystal and droplet. Stage 3: "Charges Separate" — positive charge builds near the cloud top while negative charge concentrates lower in the cloud. Icon: plus and minus symbols. Stage 4: "Ground Becomes Polarized" — negative charge in the cloud induces positive charge on the ground and tall objects below. Icon: tree, building, and ground charge markers. Stage 5: "Stepped Leader Descends" — a faint channel of ionized air moves downward from the cloud in branching steps. Icon: branching bolt path. Stage 6: "Return Stroke Flashes" — when leader and upward streamer connect, a bright return stroke travels upward and produces visible lightning and thunder. Icon: bright lightning bolt and sound wave. Add small side labels for cloud top, mixed-phase zone, lower negative region, induced positive ground charge, upward streamer, and return stroke. Include subtle legend panel, simple atmospheric layers, and clean metric-style diagram annotations in English. No panic framing, no gore, no real death photos, no watermarks. All text MUST be written in English (array). Every heading, label, caption, legend and metric name in the image must be in English — not English. Spell each English word correctly using English characters and diacritics. Numbers stay as digits, no graphic disaster gore, no real death photos, no watermarks. Scientifically accurate, no graphic disaster gore, no real death photos, no panic framing. Safety steps must be conservative and aligned with major civil-defense guidance.
