Rain and Flooding

Human activities such as deforestation, urbanization, and industrialization can lead to changes in land cover and atmospheric composition, which can in turn affect the amount and distribution of rainfall. These activities can alter local climate patterns and disrupt natural water cycles, ultimately influencing the amount of rain that falls in a particular region.

The type of erosion most likely to occur during a flood is known as fluvial erosion, which is caused by the force of flowing water. This type of erosion can lead to the removal and transportation of sediments, as well as the shaping of river channels and valleys.

Acid rain can erode buildings, statues, and other structures made of stone or metal by reacting with the materials. It can also leach minerals from soil, affecting plant growth and water quality in rivers and lakes where it accumulates. Additionally, acid rain contributes to the deterioration of infrastructure like roads and bridges.

It rains an average of 150 days a year in Washington, USA.

No, in fact it is quite the opposite. If snow falls and remains on the ground, it helps to stagger the runoff into rivers so that flooding is less likely to occur. Though if a lot of rain ends up falling onto a snowpack, the flooding potential is then amplified.

Sleet starts as snow, then falls through a layer of the atmosphere that is above freezing whereupon it melts into rain. Finally, it falls back into colder air and refreezes as ice pellets (sleet) before reaching the ground.

How much rainfall there has already been can effect the amount of water in the ground. If there has been a lot the ground will be saturated, so will have a lot of water in. If there has been very little or none at all the ground will be extremely dry as it will have already used most of the water it has in it.

Rainwater can contain acidic pollutants, which can corrode the surface of the stone in a statue over time. When rain falls on the statue, it can react with minerals in the stone, causing erosion and wearing away the surface layers. Additionally, repeated cycles of wetting and drying can lead to cracks and spalling in the stone.

Relief rainfall occurs when moist air is forced to rise over a mountain barrier. As the air rises, it cools and condenses to form clouds and eventually rain. The diagram would show warm, moist air approaching the mountain, rising, cooling, condensing, and then raining on the windward side of the mountain. The leeward side of the mountain would be in a rain shadow, receiving significantly less rainfall.

Clouds produce precipitation when the water droplets or ice crystals within the cloud grow to a size that they can no longer be supported by the air currents, causing them to fall to the ground. This occurs when the droplets or crystals collide and combine or when they become heavy enough to overcome the updrafts within the cloud.

The change in the sun's declination as the earth revolves around its orbit. The sun's declination defines the seasons.

Warm air rises because it is less dense than cold air, creating convection currents. Cold air sinks because it is denser than warm air. This movement of air creates weather patterns and influences temperature gradients in the atmosphere.

Coal is a fossil fuel that could supply energy needs for about two hundred years but is linked to acid rain. When coal is burned, it releases sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, which can react with water vapor in the atmosphere to form acids that fall back to Earth as acid rain.

It's possible that the first rain drop that fell to Earth is still here in some form, as water on Earth is constantly being recycled through the water cycle. However, it's unlikely that we could trace it back to that specific drop due to the mixing and movement of water in the environment over time.

At temperatures below the dew point there is less evaporation than condensation. Drops and droplets condense and grow.

At temperatures above the dew point there is more evaporation than condensation, drops and droplets evaporate.

I do not have real-time or future weather information. I recommend checking a reliable weather forecasting service closer to the date for the most accurate information on whether it will rain on that Sunday.

Rain-fed rivers are watercourses whose flow is predominantly sustained by precipitation in the form of rainfall. These rivers rely on seasonal rain patterns for their water supply and can experience fluctuations in water levels based on the amount of rainfall they receive.

the first 5 minutes is the most dangerous time of a rainfall for driving.

Rainwater is normally acidic because the carbon dioxide in the air which mixes with rainwater to form weak acid. That's why its acidic ^_^

Rainwater is also because of the pollutions in the air and it mixes with the water so its not good.

meee!

If acid rain has got negative affects, it also has some positive ones.

1) It helps 2 slow down global warming.

2) It can lessen the affects of pollution.

3) It reduces green house gases.

Negative:

1) Destroys crops

2) People sick.

3) Animals die.

4) Surroundings get dangerous and harmful

BB Thanx

The form of precipitation that consists of both snow and rain falling at the same time is called sleet. It occurs when snowflakes partially melt as they pass through a layer of warm air and then refreeze before reaching the ground.

That really all depends on where that farmer lives, what terrain he/she has to farm off, and the costs of contour plowing versus terracing. Some areas are not suitable for crop farming no matter what the options are, so the answer to that could be neither contour plowing nor terracing.

The wettest month in California varies by region, but typically the wettest months are December through February due to the winter storm season. However, parts of Southern California may experience more precipitation in January and February compared to December.

The yearly total precipitation over the oceans is greater than over continents because oceans cover more of the Earth's surface and therefore have a larger area from which to receive precipitation. Additionally, the oceans are able to retain heat better than land, leading to more evaporation and subsequent precipitation. Ocean currents also play a role in transporting moisture to different regions, contributing to higher precipitation levels over oceans.

Orographic lifting is associated with the lifting of air as it is forced to rise over a mountain or other elevated terrain. As the air rises, it cools and can lead to the formation of clouds and precipitation on the windward side of the mountain. This process can result in heavy rainfall and the creation of rain shadows on the leeward side of the mountain.
