Can anyone explain in simple terms why it seems that it occurs relatively frequently in the centers of continents and infrequently in the middle of the ocean?

- stonemetal12 4y agoDry air is a good insulator so larger charge differentials can occur. Wet air isn't as good an insulator so charge doesn't build up. That is also why Lightning tends to happen during rain storms, the insulator breaks down and allows the charge to flow.
