Detailed Solution

Shaking of wires and blowing of winds, looseness of plug in its socket and electric poles consisting of loose wires are the causes of sparking.
Sparking is a natural phenomenon that takes place when charges ramp up. A spark can be seen in an electric post. Sparks appear when the pole's wires become loosened. The spark frequently occurs when the wind shakes the wire. Sparks also result from a loose plug in its socket. Due to the rainstorm and torrential rain, the spark is also visible. Lightning is another type of electric spark that develops during a thunderstorm. Electric current moves upward, and water droplets travel downward when a thunderstorm occurs. Charge separation results from this motion. The charges build up in several stages. Bright light (lightning) and sound are produced when positive and negative charges collide.
