Rain and Flooding

A flood shelter is a designated location where people can seek refuge and assistance during a flood or other natural disaster. It provides temporary housing, food, and medical services for those displaced by the flood. Flood shelters are often set up by local government authorities or relief organizations to ensure the safety and well-being of affected individuals.

A riverbed that remains dry except during the rainy seasons is called an ephemeral river or intermittent river. These rivers are typically found in arid or semi-arid regions where water flow is sporadic and dependent on precipitation.

No, San Francisco receives an average of about 23.65 inches of rain annually. It has a Mediterranean climate characterized by mild, wet winters and dry summers.

One of the properties of water that influences droplet formation is the surface tension. Generally a substance when it is in the gaseous state and in a condition of saturation, the substance will condense as the temperature and/or pressure change forming droplets.

The biome that receives up to 400 cm of rain per year is the tropical rainforest. This biome is characterized by its high levels of precipitation, warmth, and abundant biodiversity.

Fog or dew forms when water vapor condenses near the ground. Fog occurs when the condensation is widespread and reduces visibility, while dew is the formation of water droplets on surfaces like grass or leaves.

Conventional rainfall occurs because the ground is heated in early morning.so it occurs in early afternoon.Relief rainfall occur only when the South East Trade Wind blows with full force and the South East Trade Wind can blows at any time of the day

Rainfall is caused by water vapor in the atmosphere condensing into liquid droplets or ice crystals, which then fall to the ground due to gravity. This process is often triggered by cooling of the air, such as through the uplift of air masses or the presence of a cold front.

Yes, approximately 71% of the Earth's surface is covered by oceans, so it is true that a significant portion of precipitation falls into the oceans. This is due to the oceans' large surface area and their role in the global water cycle.

Florida is a large state. It is the second largest state east of the Mississippi River. The rainfall varies according to the part of the state.

Miami-Dade County frequently gets more than 60 inches of rainfall a year. Due to water mismanagement, it is the only desert in the world that receives over 20 inches of water in a year.

As one goes north, the amount of rain decreases, but it increases as one reaches Jacksonville.

The Gulf Coast at the same latitude receives about 10 inches less rain a year.

Along the panhandle, the amount of rain varies considerably. Normally it is around 50 inches. Every few years it has a horrible drought. The rivers become real low and lakes dry up. When that happens, the limestone caves below the ground empty out. Then the weight of the ground makes some caves crash down and sink holes are created.

Water is normally around a PH of 7. This is a very neutral Ph level. Neither acid nor base. Rain water has never been known to be at this PH. It normally sits around 5.6. The acidification is due to a chemical process between the CO2, which makes up 0.37% of our atmosphere and the water. This is the primary method of removal of CO2 from our atmosphere, contary to popular belief. Doubling CO2 in our atmosphere would change the PH level of our rain to a slightly lower PH. This is the natural balancing act of our atmosphere. Small changes in our atmosphere are automatically counteracted by nature. The problem we are concerned aboout is referred to as a tipping point.

If the area where rain is falling has high concentrations of certain pollutants in the air, it is possible to get a fairly acidic rain to fall. This is a fairly localized event and will diluyte fairly quickly if the rain falls for any period of time. The acid will be absorbed by the ground or go into the water table. Acid is not always bad in small quanities. This can be good for the ground and help fertilize it. Too much acid though kills off vegatation and hurts water life.

The lowest PH level I could find was 4.3 in Canada.

Negative Ions are in the air during rain or when you're near a waterfall or other natural places. Negative Ions are what make people happy as opposed to Positive Ions which are usually present in polluted air or associates with technology such as using a phone watching television or while browsing the Internet on a computer.

It can be considered a significant amount of rain depending on the context. In general, 20mm of rain in one day is considered a moderate amount for most regions, but it may be considered a lot in areas that typically receive lower amounts of rainfall.

Factors that affect acid rain and pollution include emissions from vehicles, industrial activities, and power plants that release pollutants such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides into the atmosphere. Weather conditions can also play a role in the formation and spread of acid rain, as well as the geographical location of sources of pollution relative to areas impacted by acid rain. Human activities like deforestation and agriculture can contribute to the problem by releasing additional pollutants and disrupting natural ecosystems that help regulate air quality.

The "break" or "burst" of the monsoons refers to a sudden onset of widespread, heavy rainfall after a period of relative dryness. This marks the official arrival of the monsoon season, bringing relief from the heat and supporting agricultural activities. The timing of this event is crucial for farmers as it signals the beginning of the planting season.

Wet spongy ground is typically called marsh or bog, characterized by waterlogged conditions and soft vegetation such as peat moss. These environments are important habitats for specialized plant and animal species adapted to living in waterlogged conditions.

Condensation is the process in which a gas turns into a liquid when it loses heat. It is the opposite of evaporation, which is when a liquid turns into a gas due to gaining heat. Both processes are related to the temperature and pressure of the substance.

The coach flooded the gym as a prank or practical joke to create a fun and unexpected experience for the team. It was likely done as a lighthearted way to surprise the players and add some humor to their training session.

Hail is frozen rain, but it is made by accretion high in the clouds. Rain that freezes on its way down to the surface is called sleet.

Algae in rainwater collection barrel or polyethylene tanks. Is virtually impossible to avoid, but can easily be controlled. Painting the tank is an option, but is expensive and not that enduring. A better way is to rap the container with a piece of heavy, light colored vinyl floor linoleum. A remnant that can be got at most floor covering stores. Covering the sides and top, will elemate sunlight from getting in. Also a rapping of indoor-outdoor carpeting or other insulating material under the vinyl linoleum will help in keeping the water cooler from the radiant heat from the sunlight on the linoleum.

If using a shipping or storage (HDPE) tank, like I am, remove the tank and cage from the shipping pallet and place directly on the ground. This will also aid in keeping the water cooler. Mine came on a metal pallet. I removed the legs from the plate and cut holes for the lid and down spout and secured the plate to the top of the cage. It protects the top of the tank from any damage, even standing on it.

Areas that receive rainfall over 400cm are typically found in tropical regions near the equator, such as the Amazon Rainforest in South America or parts of Southeast Asia. These areas experience heavy rainfall due to their proximity to warm ocean currents and the convergence of trade winds, creating a high amount of moisture in the atmosphere.

To stop rainwater from coming onto your balcony, you can install a roof or canopy, use weather stripping on doors and windows, apply a waterproof sealant to the balcony surface, or consider installing gutters or drains to redirect water away from the balcony. Regularly inspecting and maintaining these measures can help ensure a dry balcony during rainy weather.

No, rain is not an object. Rain is a type of weather phenomenon that consists of water droplets falling from the sky.
