Yes nitrogen is the most abundant element on earth
*********************************** Above is the original answer. I find this quoted by idiots on various news sites....it's not TRUE. Yes, Nitrogen is the most abundant element on earth, but its no more a part of water than it's a part of gold or silver, or titanium.
The real answer is -- no. Real rainwater is elemental Dihydrogen oxide, two atoms of hydrogen bound with one atom of oxygen. Any incidental nitrogen elements which may be suspended between the individual molecules are foreign substances due to POLLUTANTS, and these are bound to other substances. An example would be Nitrogen Oxide which is harmful to health.

∙ 9y agoThe nitrogen in rain water varies according to the geographic conditions and the time period of the shower. During the first 5 - 10 minutes of the shower rainwater contain more nitrogen in it. It decreases and finally becomes a minor gas as the rain goes on.

Do thunderstorms create tornadoes?
Yes, tornadoes form from very strong rotating thunderstorms called supercells.
What type of clouds bring thunderstorms?
rain clouds
As wastes such as carbon dioxide sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide enter the air they dissolve and create acid rain?
true
What kind of weather is associated with thunderstorms?
Cumulonimbus clouds often bring thunderstorms.
How can thunderstorms be prevented?
No thunderstorms cannot be prevented. Even if it were possible it would be a bad idea. Thunderstorms provide a large portion of the necessary rain in many areas.
What are some goods things about thunderstorms?
Thunderstorms provide rain, which is essential to life on land. Lightning can render the nitrogen in air into forms that plants can use.
What are the weather condition that create or are needed to create a flash flood?
Conditions to create a flash flood are thunderstorms, lightning, rain and flooding.
What clouds would form rain?
Clouds that include the name "nimbus" tend to be the ones that create precipitation. Nimbostratus clouds create falling rain and snow, while cumulonimbus clouds are associated with thunderstorms.
Why does it rain when there's a tornado?
Tornadoes are produced by very strong thunderstorms. Thunderstorms typically produce rain.
Are thunderstorms harmful?
They can be. Thunderstorms can cause deadly lighning strikes, fires, floods, damaging wind gusts, and tornadoes. However, thunderstorms are also beneficial. In many regions they are a major source of rain, which is necessary for life. Lightning converts nitrogen in the air into a form that plants can use to grow.
What are the main chemical in air pollution that create acid rain?
Acid rain is created by sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and carbon dioxide.
Does precipitation happen with hurricanes tornadoes and thunderstorms?
Yes. Hurricanes produce torrentail rain, and thunderstorms will usually produce rain and sometimes hail. Since tornadoes are a product of strong thunderstorms, they will usually be accompanied by rain and are often accompanied by hail.
Does rain need to be in a thunderstorm?
No. Rain outside of thunderstorms is quite common.
How can thunderstorms lead to both flooding and fire?
Thunderstorms are often followed by rain. So you have the lightning in the thunder that can start fires, and the rain that can cause flooding.
Do thunderstorms make grass grow?
They can. Thunderstorms produce rain. Rainfall can cause grass to grow.
Do thunderstorms create tornadoes?
Yes, tornadoes form from very strong rotating thunderstorms called supercells.
What precipitation can happen in a warm front?
rain and thunderstorms, although violent thunderstorms are more common with the passage of a cold front. Warm fronts tend to create steadier and longer-lasting episodes of precipitation. These are only generalizations, however.
