What else can I help you with?
Where does virga mostly occur?
Virga mostly occurs in arid or semi-arid regions where there is a large difference between the temperature and dew point of the air. These conditions lead to rain falling from clouds but evaporating before reaching the ground, creating the characteristic streaks of precipitation that do not reach the surface.
When precipitation hits the surface what will it do?
When precipitation hits the surface, it can either infiltrate into the ground, contributing to groundwater recharge, or it can run off over the surface, leading to streams and rivers. The surface characteristics, such as soil type and vegetation, influence how much water is absorbed versus how much runs off. Additionally, precipitation can lead to surface water pooling or flooding in areas with poor drainage. Ultimately, the fate of the precipitation depends on various environmental factors.
Does a hurricane's winds decrease as it reaches higher ground?
A hurricane's winds will start to decrease as soon as it hits land. If it hits high terrain it will weaken faster as the increase in elevation forces more of the moisture to fall as precipitation. This creates in increased risk of flooding.
What happens when precipitation hits a warm air?
I'm not entirely sure I understand the question exactly, but if you mean what happens when precipitation falls into a warmer layer of air, the answer is pretty simple:If it's frozen, and the warm air is deep enough, it melts.Also, this warmer air may be a good bit drier than the nearly-saturated air whence the precipitation came. If it's dry enough and deep enough, and if the precipitation not particularly intense, it may evaporate before reaching the ground. However, this evaporation will bring down the temperature and increase the humidity of the warm/dry layer of air, so this process is self-limiting in most circumstances.
What brought water to the planets?
water exists thanks to comets because it melts or it hits a planet
Which type of precipitation is made when falling snow melts and then freezes again before it hits the ground?
sleet
What type of precipitation that melts as it falls through the sky but then refreezes BEFORE it hits the ground as a solid ball of ice?
This type of precipitation is known as sleet. It forms when snowflakes partially melt as they pass through a layer of warm air and then refreeze into tiny ice pellets before reaching the ground.
What type of precipitation melts on its way to the ground and stays a liquid drop of water as it hits the above freezing ground?
This type of precipitation is known as sleet. Sleet forms when snowflakes partially melt as they fall through a warmer layer of air, then refreeze into ice pellets before reaching the ground.
What is rain called that evaporates before it hits the ground?
Rain that evaporates before it hits the ground is called virga. It appears as streaks or wisps of precipitation in the sky but dissipates before reaching the surface due to evaporation.
What Type of precipitation that hits as a liquid and then freezes instantly when it hits the ground?
Sleet is the type of precipitation that falls as liquid but then freezes instantly upon impact with the ground. This occurs when rain from a warmer layer of air falls through a colder layer near the ground, causing it to freeze before reaching the surface.
What are two options that precipitation will fall when it hits the ground?
flows through rock or soak into the ground
What is the difference between hailstorm and ice storm?
A hailstorm is when the precipitation is composed of ice lumps. An ice storm is when the precipitation is freezing rain. The water stays liquid until when it hits the ground, and freezes where it hits.
If batted ball hits a base before it hits the ground is it an out?
No, it is simply a ground ball and is in play.
What happens to precipitation as it hits the ground?
some of it gets soaked into the ground or flows through rocks and some of flows to the nearest body of water
What will happen before a earthquake hits?
The Ground Will shake!
Can a glass break before it hits the ground?
It is unlikely that a glass will break before it hits the ground. The glass may experience tiny fractures which will cause it to break upon impact.
Which type of precipitation typically cause the most damage when it hits the ground?
Hail can cause a large amount of damage if it very large.
