Rain and Flooding

flash floods

NOT AT ALL. no-till plowing is when you leave it unturned. contour is when you plow it in the shape of the land.

"No-till plowing" is an oxymoron, since any form of plowing is a form of tillage.

No, a rain gauge should not be used to measure precipitation in the form of snow. Snow should be measured using a snow gauge or snowboard designed specifically for that purpose. Snow accumulation will provide a more accurate measurement of total precipitation when dealing with snow.

The 1953 East Coast flood caused significant damage to the environment, including coastal erosion, destruction of habitat for wildlife, and contamination of water sources with pollutants and debris. The flood also disrupted ecosystems and led to long-term impacts on plant and animal species in the affected areas.

in terms of the level of purity both are very high and similar. The deionized water has mineral ions removed and distilled water is distilled at high temperatures leaving most contaminants behind. Deionized water doesn't remove bacteria and viruses significantly.

Gases like nitrogen oxides and sulphur oxide are dissolved in rainwater cause it to become acidic. This, known as acid rain, does indeed speed up the process of weathering because strong acidic water eats away at the surface of materials, most notably in limestone and marble structures.

An increase in relative humidity indicates that the air is close to saturation, meaning it has a high moisture content. This can lead to the formation of clouds and possibly rain, as the moisture in the air is more likely to condense and fall back to the ground as precipitation.

Acid rain and smog are both forms of air pollution that can have harmful effects on the environment and human health. They are both caused by the release of pollutants into the atmosphere, such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides from human activities like burning fossil fuels. Both acid rain and smog can result in damage to ecosystems, buildings, and respiratory issues for humans.

Air currents carry toxic smoke from other countries' factories to Germany

Old statues weather and deteriorate over time due to exposure to acid rain, which reacts chemically with the surface of the statues, causing erosion and corrosion. This process weakens the structural integrity of the statues and results in discoloration and degradation of the material over time. Regular maintenance and conservation efforts can help slow down the deterioration process.

To start with, rain is actually a force of nature which is constructive as well as destructive. When it sees a field in need it descends. They are considered heavenly showers by the peasants as the rain adorns thir crops with their godly touch. But at the same time, they are destructive as, if they rain angrily and heavily they cause destruction everywhere and sometimes are fatal.

Washington state receives an average of about 38 inches of rain per year. This amount can vary depending on the region within the state. Areas closer to the coast tend to receive more rainfall than those inland.

Rain can turn into snow at any temperature below freezing (0 degrees Celsius or 32 degrees Fahrenheit), but it is most commonly observed between 0 to -5 degrees Celsius (32 to 23 degrees Fahrenheit). The highest temperature at which rain can turn into snow primarily depends on factors like humidity, air pressure, and the size of the snowflakes.

The average pH of rainwater in New Jersey is around 4.5-5.5 due to the presence of pollutants, primarily from industrial activities and vehicle emissions. This acidity can have adverse effects on the environment and ecosystems, especially in sensitive areas like forests and freshwater bodies. Monitoring and managing these pH levels is crucial to maintaining water quality and biodiversity.

Rainwater is slightly acidic due to the presence of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. When rainwater comes in contact with limestone, it reacts with the calcium carbonate in the rock, causing it to dissolve and wear away more rapidly through a process called chemical weathering. Over time, this can lead to the formation of sinkholes and caves in limestone landscapes.

When levees are built along a section of the river, the water will rise higher, then the water will flood in a different place that did not flood before the levee was built. Many natural flood plains have been cut off by levees. That is why cities flood more because the high water is going to go somewhere. Levees don't stop high water. They just cause it to move somewhere else.

A water gauge measures the level of water in a system or container. It provides a visual indication of the water level, allowing for monitoring and management of water quantities. It is commonly used in plumbing systems, boilers, and tanks.

Heavy rainfalls can occur in regions with high humidity and atmospheric instability, such as tropical areas, monsoon regions, and during intense thunderstorms. Topographical features like mountains can also lead to heavy rainfall due to orographic lifting of air masses. Climate change can further intensify heavy rainfall events in certain regions.

Boscastle flooded in 2004 due to an intense and prolonged rainfall event that overwhelmed the local river system, causing flash flooding. The topography of the area, with steep hillsides and narrow valleys, also contributed to the rapid flow of water into the village. The lack of adequate flood defenses and outdated infrastructure exacerbated the impact of the flooding.

A clear blue lake is often appealing to humans; it seems like a good place for a swim, like a swimming pool. Biologically, however, there is probably nothing living in it. When plants are living in the water, it usually gains a greenish tinge. The presence of plants and animals tends to cloud the water due to their activities and body processes. So, no organics, nothing to "cover up" the clear blue. Most acidic bodies of water do not look polluted. As decaying organic matter settles, acidified water can appear clear and blue.

1) This is because the Aravali Range in Rajasthan lie parallel to the Arabian Sea branch of South West Monsoons, and do not offer any obstruction to the rain bearing winds.

2) The second reason is that the hot climate of Rajasthan increases the moisture holding capacity of the rain bearing winds, and does not allow it to shed its moisture in Rajasthan.

the Ganga plain is formed by the fertile soil brought down by river Ganga and its tributaries.thus it is fertile and thickly populated.

It is true because i am smart and in a 5 star school

The stream bottom erodes more deeply when its water level rises in a flood; therefore, the more volume and sediments water carries along, the more bottom of a stream is being eroded away thus it deeper.
