Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The second surge of electrons that proceeds from the base of a cloud toward the ground during cloud-to-ground lightning is called a dart leader. The stepped leader is the initial discharge of electrons from the cloud toward the ground, and the return stroke is the main flash of light that we see from the ground. Downstroke is not a term commonly used to describe lightning.
