Rain and Flooding

India is one of the most disaster prone countries of the world. It has had some of the world's most severe droughts, famines, cyclones, earthquakes, chemical disasters, mid-air head-on air collisions, rail accidents, and road accidents. India is also one of the most terrorist prone countries.

Terrorist attacks like the recent one in Mumbai and many others over the years.

Epidemics that hit the World every few decades.

Famines due to crop failures, made worse by Global Warming.

Man made disasters like the Bhopal chemical disaster.

Freak cold spell in the Northern region

Heat waves which get worse with Global Warming.

Cyclones from the Indian Ocean

Tsunami's along the coastline from earthquakes

Monsoonal rains that cause severe flooding.

Droughts that leaves people with little or no water.

Earthquakes.

Mudslides/landslides from heavy rains.

Rising sea level due to Global Warming. Sea level is expected to rise at least 5 feet this century.

Desertification of former croplands due to global Warming.

Snow avalanches in the mountainous regions.

during summer, when the over the land is heated, the warm air rises and a low pressure system develops over the land. when the air rises , cool air from the south-west which originated over the sea, rushes in to take its place. this air contains water vapour and it will become heated and will also rise. as it rises, the water vapour condenses forming clouds and so it rains. summers in monsoon Asia are therefore hot and wet. the south-west monsoon is called "hulhangu" in maldives and last from 08 April to 09 December.

The average rainfall for a saltwater biome, such as the ocean, varies greatly depending on the specific location and climate. Coastal areas may receive higher rainfall amounts, typically ranging from 30-60 inches per year, while open ocean areas may receive much less precipitation.

When rain falls into a volcano, it can evaporate instantly due to the high temperatures of the volcanic surfaces. The water vapor may then mix with other volcanic gases and contribute to the volcanic activity, such as creating steam explosions or causing phreatic eruptions.

Rain: The condensed water vapor that first evaporated from the earths surface (see water cycle)

Water that seeps into the soil is called groundwater. It fills the spaces between soil particles and rocks beneath the Earth's surface. This water is essential for plant roots to absorb nutrients and for maintaining underground water levels.

The maximum rainfall rate in the Congo can exceed 4 inches per hour during heavy downpours or intense thunderstorms. This high intensity of rainfall is due to the region's proximity to the equator and its tropical climate, which can lead to rapid and intense precipitation.

The amount of rain depends upon many factors but especially the area of the world being referenced. The monsoon that brings rain to the southwest deserts of the United States brings less than 10 inches of rain.

ha I have the same question for my homework too. the answer is ... Mesoamericans used a method called slash-and-burn agriculture, they cleared the land by cutting down trees and then burned the fallen trees because the ashes fertilize the soil then they planted crops and after a couple of years they abandoned that area and moved to a different part of the rain forest to repeat this process.

Thailand's climate varies across regions, but generally, the country experiences a tropical climate with a rainy season lasting from May to October. The southern part of Thailand receives more rainfall compared to the northern regions.

Splat or plop?!

well sea water that comes from the atmosphere contains small concentrations of the gases in the atmosphere such as oxygen, carbondioxide, carbonmonoxide, and nitrogen. it would also contain pollutants from factories

Nimbostratus clouds typically give continuous rain due to their large, thick, and dark appearance. These clouds can cover the sky for long durations and produce steady precipitation.

Brecon can experience flooding due to heavy rainfall, particularly when the River Usk and other waterways in the area overflow their banks. The hilly terrain of the Brecon Beacons National Park can also contribute to rapid runoff and increased risk of flooding in low-lying areas.

when ice, snow, glaciers,etc. melt all the water through a river go into the sea evaporation takes place and the water goes up to the sky into the clouds, there comes a limit when the clouds can not hold anymore water they change their colour from white to ash grey and then drop all the water the dropped water is called rain.

There are typically eight required steps in the accounting cycle: analyzing transactions, journalizing transactions, posting to the general ledger, preparing a trial balance, making adjusting entries, preparing financial statements, closing the accounts, and preparing a post-closing trial balance.

there is not going to be a heavy rain for psp. it is only for playstation 3.

A brief period of rain is actually called a shower though I don't have a clue why it is called a shower, you don't wash yourself in it do you.

When water evaporates, it is generally quite pure, but while suspended in the atmosphere, it is exposed to dust particles that become part of the condensate, so the resulting water is not pure, but contaminated with the solid particles that are in the atmosphere in the same vicinity.

No, the polar regions experience periods of continuous darkness during winter and continuous sunlight during summer due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. Additionally, regions near the equator generally receive consistent sunlight throughout the year.

One factor that could account for a drop in the water table is temperature. If temperatures are too warm the water may be evaporating.

Rains associated with cold fronts tend to be shorter in duration but more intense, while rains from warm fronts are typically longer-lasting but less intense. Cold fronts move faster and have steeper slopes, leading to quick, intense rainfall followed by clearing skies. Warm fronts have more gradual slopes, resulting in longer periods of lighter rainfall.

No there are not monsoons in Colorado. Technically, Colorado is a semi-desert because it only receives 17 inches annual average of precipitation. The only months that Colorado receives more than 2 inches of precipitation (average) are May and July and there are no months that average over 3 inches.

This can be either sleet or freezing rain, though both technically start as snow and melt into rain. Sleet is rain that is able to freeze back into ice pellets before reaching the ground. Freezing rain is rain that does not have enough time to freeze into ice before reaching the ground - the cold layer is very shallow to the ground, so it is rain that freezes on contact with cold surfaces.
