Why do you need to eat a pinch of salt when you get rained on?
Because rain is evaporated oceans and sea water
If most water evaporates from our salt water oceans why are not rain drops salty?
Salt is not evaporated with water.
Where does the moisture that causes rain come from?
Evaporated water mostly come from bodies of water.
Why rain would decrease if the oceans died?
Rain would decrease if the oceans died because there wouldn't be enough water to evaporate into clouds.
Why the sea doesn't dry up?
The atmosphere doesn't have the capacity to hold all that water. If the water in the oceans all evaporated, the air would be so saturated with water that it would fall back down,a phenomenon known as rain.
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.
What is evaporated rain called?
The reverse process is condensation, formation of a liquid.
Do clouds always lead to rain Explain?
Clouds are formed by water vapour evaporated off the oceans by the sun and wind. Not all clouds produce rain, as the droplets in some clouds may not be heavy enough to drop to earth.
What keeps oceans full?
Oceans are kept full by the constant drainage (via rivers, streams, etc.) and precipitation of water into them, causing an equilibrium between what is evaporated and what is coming in. Since Earth is virtually a closed system (no water generally leaves earth or comes to Earth), the amount of water on Earth remains a constant, and whatever is evaporated condenses eventually and precipitates over land or the oceans in the form of rain, snow, hail, etc., and (after melting, if frozen) flows back to the oceans.
How is a river a type of freshwater?
Rivers get their water from the rain, and rain is fresh because it is in effect distilled. Evaporated water that re-condenses as rain has left impurities or salts behind, when it evaporated.
Evaporated water condenses in the atmosphere to form?
rain
Why is the rain important to earth?
Because in the water cycle, when water is evaporated, it accumulates in clouds and eventually falls back to Earth in the form of rain. If it didn't rain, Earth's water would evaporate, and eventually, the Earth would be dry.
