What type of precipitation that falls from clouds in a liquid state?
rain
How does rain travel?
Rain travels with the wind. As the wind blows the clouds, the rainfall moves with the clouds as the clouds are the source of the rain. As the rain hits the ground, it follows the path of least resistance as it is pulled by gravity. If the rain has nowhere to go, the water will pool and form a flood. Most of the rainwater that falls on land goes to the creeks, streams and rivers that flow either to lakes or to the ocean, where the water will evaporate and form clouds that produce rain. And this cycle continues day in and day out.
Is the process by which condensed water vapor falls from the clouds to the ground?
ewan
What does it make when water droplets and water droplets join together?
They become Clouds that precipitation falls from.
What makes freezing water vapor inside clouds?
Freezing water vapor inside clouds makes sleet when it falls to the ground. Freezing rain is rain that is liquid when it leaves the clouds but freezes when it hits the ground.
Are the eastern mountains drier than the western mountains?
In California, most precipitation falls on the western sides of mountains. As wet air blows in from the Pacific Ocean, its pushed up the mountains. The air cools as it is pushed up. Clouds form, and rain or snow falls.
What cloud does rain form in?
Rain falls primarily from cumulus, stratocumulus and stratus clouds. When cirrus clouds precipitate, they normally produce ice crystals.
How do landforms and land masses affect precipitation?
Rain clouds are often forced to rise as winds blow them towards landforms like mountains. Clouds rising are unable to hold their water, so it falls as precipitation on the windward side of mountains.
How do mountains affect the water cycle?
When winds blow rain-bearing clouds towards mountains the clouds are forced to rise. As atmospheric pressure becomes lower the clouds are forced to drop their rain. This is why rain generally falls on the windward side of a mountain range. This precipitation is an essential part of the water cycle.
Can water change from one state to another?
It gets warm, with heat normally made up of the sun. It moves up into clouds, condensates, and then falls as precipitation.
What is moister that falls from clouds?
water
Are clouds formed when rain falls?
no
How does a cocklebur travel?
It falls to the ground and the wind blows it.
How does wind affect rain?
Wind can affect rain by moving the rain clouds so the rain moves to other areas. The wind also blows rain so it falls at an angle instead of straight down.
How does the ability of water to change form from solid to liquid to gas contribute to the water cycle?
Solid water (snow) falls on the mountains in the winter. When spring comes, the solid water melts into liquid water, flows downhill to a stream, then into a river, and then into an ocean. The Sun warms the surface of the ocean, evaporating the liquid water into gaseous water vapor. The water vapor rises into the sky and forms clouds, which are blown into the mountains where the clouds cool, and form solid water (snow), which falls in the mountains in the winter.
Does rain falls when clouds condense?
yes
Which clouds develop when barometric pressure falls and rains begins to fall?
nimbostratus clouds
