How high should a rain barrel be off the ground to optimize water flow and pressure?
A rain barrel should be placed at least 2-3 feet off the ground to optimize water flow and pressure.
Whats the journey of a rain drop?
Known as the water cycle, basically, water is evaporated off the oceans and form clouds. The clouds drop rain on the land, and the rain water flows downwards and into rivers, and returns to the ocean. The water cycle then continues.
How does water move from the land to the ocean and the sea?
it evaporates and then it condensate after that it rains in the oceans and seas.
What happens to a water molecule during the water cycle?
A water molecule, in its liquid form, is, well, a liquid. It could be anywhere. In a lake, an ocean, your glass, anywhere. Then, due to heat from the sun, it evaporates, meaning it gains enough energy to turn into a gas. There it goes into the atmosphere, where it comes together with a bunch of other water molecules, condensing (cooling off and becoming liquid again) to form clouds. When there's enough water molecules in a cloud, they come together to form big droplets that begin to fall from the cloud to the ground. When they hit the ground, they seep through the ground or run off above it into lakes and streams and rivers and oceans, where they wait in liquid form to be evaporated again.
Do less trees mean more carbon dioxide?
The source of most of the moisture and water vapour that constitutes the clouds that bring rain (in continental regions) is the water vapour transpired by plants. Forests act as large transpiration zones and contribute greatly to the atmospheric moisture. In their absence, the water of the soil just seeps down or flows away and thus they cannot contribute to rain.
What are clouds made of and how high are they off the ground?
Clouds are made of water that has dried up and become water vapours. These vapours rise into the air and cool down into clouds. When the clouds are completely cooled, it will rain. Clouds can be at a varying height, depending on the vapour density.
How high should a rain barrel be off the ground to optimize water flow and pressure?
A rain barrel should be placed at least 2-3 feet off the ground to optimize water flow and pressure.
How high are cirrus clouds off the ground?
Cirrus are the highest cloud types, generally occurring between 25 and 30 thousand feet up.
What does run-off mean in geography?
Where water that has fallen from the clouds goes down the surface of a hill/mountain and goes into a river
How high is a Cumulus Clouds off the ground?
Cumulus clouds are puffy. If the humidity is high, a cumulus cloud's low point may be about 3,00 feet (900 m). However, cumulus clouds in dry regions such as deserts sometimes have bases as high as 10,000 feet (3,000m). This is still low compared to some clouds.
How does the sun cause flowing water?
Known as "The Water Cycle" the sun and wind cause sea water to evaporate and form clouds. These clouds drop rain onto the land and mountains (and the sea, of course!). This water either sinks into the soil, or runs off into streams and rivers. Water coming from high ground, flows fast. The water slows down on reaching level ground. Basically, all rain water will eventually flow or seep back into the sea, and the water cycle begins again.
What clouds are responsible for thunderstorms and how can you identify what cloud it is?
Cumulonimbus. Thunderstorm clouds are typically very thick and therefore have a high albedo (not very much sunlight penetrates through to the ground, most gets reflected off of the top). Therefore, these clouds appear grey and dark on the bottom.

What are the correct steps of the water cycle as it leaves the oceans until It can return to the lake?
The sun and wind evaporates water off the oceans. The vapour rises and form clouds. The clouds drop rain on the land. Streams and rivers carry the water back to the oceans.Some of the rain soaks into the ground and tops up the water table, or flow into reservoirs and lakes, etc.
What source of energy drives earth's system?
Well the sun of course, the clouds form a great weather system too! And this is how to make it rain: 1. the clouds form together 2. the sun tries to get it sunny again 3. the clouds pick up some water off the ground 4. it starts to snow 5. in the air, it melts because of the sun and turns it into raindrops 6. Here comes the rain! Hope it helped! ;)
