Rain and Flooding

In the doldrums, near the equator, the Earth's rotation causes warm air to rise, creating low pressure and calm winds. As this air rises, it cools, condenses, and forms clouds, leading to frequent afternoon rain showers. The combination of low pressure and moisture in this region contributes to the pattern of little wind and lots of afternoon rain.

The B horizon, also known as the subsoil, typically holds more water than the A horizon. This layer is located beneath the topsoil and above the C horizon, and it contains minerals, organic matter, and nutrients that help retain water for plant roots.

The 1931 Chinese flood occurred due to a combination of factors including heavy rainfall caused by the East Asian rainy season, the overflowing of the Yangtze River and its tributaries, and the failure of levees and dams. These factors led to widespread flooding and devastation in central China.

Same as the clouds that form rain and snow - nimbostratus, for the most part. Freezing rain forms due to a shallow layer of cold air at the surface with above-freezing air above. This is unrelated to cloud types.

The saying "rain before seven, clear before eleven" suggests that if it is raining in the early morning, the weather may clear up by late morning. This saying is based on the idea that many times, morning showers or rainstorms can give way to clearer skies later in the day. It is not always true, as weather patterns can be unpredictable.

The warming of the oceans may cause an increase in the amount of evaporation. This would lead to an increased amount of precipitation that would cause and increase of runoff due to the ground becoming saturated by the rain water.

Condensation is the process by which water vapor in the air turns into liquid water, forming clouds. Precipitation is when water in the form of rain, snow, sleet, or hail falls from the clouds to the ground.

Soil retaining terraces and contoured plowing are examples of conservation practices used in agriculture to prevent soil erosion. Terraces are physical structures built on sloping land to slow down water runoff, while contoured plowing involves planting and plowing along the contour lines of the land to reduce soil erosion. Both practices help to protect the soil and maintain its fertility.

Chaulmoogra oil, which contains chaulmoogric acid, is derived from the seeds of the Hydnocarpus wightiana and Hydnocarpus kurzii trees. These trees are native to parts of India and Southeast Asia.

The correct order of water treatment typically includes: coagulation, sedimentation, filtration, disinfection. Coagulation involves adding chemicals to clump together contaminants, sedimentation allows these clumps to settle, filtration removes remaining particles, and disinfection kills harmful microorganisms.

Typically, California experiences a drier period in the summer months, particularly from June to September. However, the timing and intensity of the rainy season can vary from year to year.

You may be referring to the "shore." Sometimes, but not always, the shore is a "beach."

When the water table rises to ground level, it means that the level of water below the Earth's surface has reached the same level as the ground. This can lead to issues like flooding, marshy conditions, or water seepage into basements or foundations. It can also affect plant growth and the overall ecosystem of an area.

Heavy rains in the mountains can lead to flooding because the steep slopes cannot absorb the excess water quickly enough, causing it to flow downhill rapidly. This sudden rush of water can overwhelm rivers and streams, leading to overflow and flooding downstream areas. Additionally, the heavy rain can saturate the soil, increasing the risk of landslides and further exacerbating flooding.

The annual precipitation in our area is 22 inches.

The actual amount of water vapor in a mixture of air and water is called absolute humidity. It represents the mass of water vapor divided by the total mass of the mixture, including both the water vapor and dry air.

When it rains, some of the rainwater infiltrates into the ground to replenish groundwater, some evaporates back into the atmosphere, and the rest runs off into rivers, lakes, and oceans. In urban areas, rainwater can also go into storm drains and sewer systems.

The water cycle involves transpiration as plants release water vapor through their leaves, which contributes to the overall water vapor in the atmosphere. This water vapor then condenses to form clouds and eventually falls back to the Earth as precipitation. The water is then taken up by plants again, continuing the cycle.

Groundwater not only provides water through wells, but it can replenish rivers and lakes in droughts. Groundwater constantly seeps into other water sources, so contaminated groundwater means contaminated rivers and lakes.

Water falls from the sky in the form of precipitation when water vapor in the atmosphere condenses into clouds. As these droplets grow larger, they eventually become heavy enough to fall to the ground as rain, snow, sleet, or hail. Different factors such as temperature, air pressure, and atmospheric conditions can influence the type of precipitation that falls.

Durban has an average annual rainfall of 1009 mm (39.7 in.)

"Pitter patter" is the patter of little feet -- the word "patter", as in vocal "patter" can also be the sound of little feet moving. So, Pitter-patter means "Let's get moving." It is a phrase used usually for childern. To "get to it" is to get something done promptly. Adding the gender and the contraction we get "Get at 'er." This is slang for "Get to it." So -- "Pitter patter, let's get at 'er" means "Move you're feet and get to it!" with a slightly silly rhyme.

Water evaporates from bodies of water due to heat from the sun, forming water vapor in the atmosphere. This water vapor eventually cools down and condenses into clouds. The clouds release water in the form of precipitation, such as rain or snow, which falls back to the Earth's surface and replenishes bodies of water through runoff or infiltration into the ground.

Well there is nowhere where it rains 24/7 but there is a lot of rain in England and also Oregon and Washington.

It rains pretty much all day every day in Brisbane in Australia and in the surrounding areas. The weather forecasters try not to use the word rain because it sounds too depressing. Most often the weather reports will be for "showers" but that just means rain. Also they try to act like it's not so bad and they will say "clearing in the morning" but that still means it will rain and then stop for a little bit and then rain some more, probably all day.
