Rain and Flooding

I am assuming that the questioner is asking why humidity increases when it is hot. The answer to this is actually kind of complicated and involves a lot of conditions. Generally, though, warmer air can hold more water vapor than cooler air, so provided that there is a source of free water to evaporate and an energy source to drive that evaporation, warmer air will have more moisture content than cooler air. the complication arises due to how humidity is typically measured and expressed. The most common way to actually measure and express humdity is relative humdity, which can be thought of as the ratio of how much water vapor is in the air, to how much it can actually hold. Since the holding capacity increases with temperature, it is quite possible that the actual amount of water vapor in the air can increase, while the relative humidity actually goes down. This is fairly common in warm, humid areas in the summer. Relative humidity may be close to 100% early in the morning when the air is still cool, and may go down to 65-70% by mid afternoon. However, the actual amount of water vapor (measured as mass of water vapor per mass of the air volume) will actually be greater.

No, rain is not condensation. Rain forms when water vapor in the atmosphere condenses into water droplets that become heavy enough to fall to the ground. Condensation is the process by which water vapor turns into liquid water or ice.

The answer varies considerably, depending on the location. In some places in Eastern India, the annual rainfall - mostly in the monsoon - can be as much as 10 metres (nearly 33 feet), whereas in some places in Western India it is as little as 0.2 metres (less than 8 inches).

In a roundabout way perhaps. Chernobyl was a nuclear Power plant. Once up and running, these don't contribute to acid rain. But when it was shut down, in all probability, Power plants relying on fossil fuels were worked harder, burning more fossil fuels. And burning fossil fuel contributes to acid rain. Winds can easily carry the emissions from those Power plants over to the UK.

Earthworms cause weathering by ingesting soil and organic matter, breaking it down in their digestive system, and then excreting it as castings. These castings are rich in minerals and nutrients that can react with the soil, promoting chemical weathering processes. Additionally, earthworm burrowing activities can create pathways for water to infiltrate the soil, accelerating physical weathering processes.

Water that is on the ground mostly comes from rainfall or other forms of precipitation. It can also come from sources like rivers and lakes, or from melting snow and ice. The water on the ground eventually evaporates, percolates into the soil, or flows into bodies of water like streams and oceans.

Late February through all of March in 2006. As I recall, the sun finally came out on April 2nd.

Britain's driest area, East Anglia, receives an average of around 600 millimeters of rainfall per year.

A rain gauge is used to measure the amount of precipitation that falls at a specific location over a period of time. It is an important tool for monitoring and recording rainfall patterns, which is valuable for weather forecasting, agriculture, and water resource management.

Rain can symbolize renewal, cleansing, and emotional release. It is often associated with growth and new beginnings, as well as transformation and fertility. In literature and art, rain is used metaphorically to represent various emotions and states of being.

For the tree log buried in a Holocene flood, radiocarbon dating would be a suitable numerical dating technique. This method can determine the age of organic materials up to around 50,000 years, making it ideal for dating relatively recent events like the Holocene period.

For the Permian felsic volcanic unit, uranium-lead dating could be a valuable numerical dating technique. This method is effective for dating rocks that are billions of years old, which is necessary for determining the age of ancient volcanic units like those from the Permian period.

They both run perpendicular to the slope of the land in that spot. For example, if one particular spot slopes north, the contour runs east/west. The difference is that terraces are normally built-up areas of soil which are intended to catch runoff water in a basin-shaped area. Contour plowing is not built-up above the rest of the surrounding area.

Monsoon is the name given to the seasonal reversal of prevailing wind which brings heavy rains to Southeast Asia, and to a lesser extent in the American Southwest. It occurs due to the extreme differential heating between the high Tibetan Plateau region and the tropical Indian Ocean.

There is nothing of this nature in Florida because the land is much more uniform (there are no mountains nearby, for example). Florida experiences rain for other reasons - largely due to thunderstorms from daytime heating, and from hurricanes (which are a completely different phenomenon from monsoons).

They move faster then others because they have weight in them. It may not make sense, but try this: Take a marble and a bowling ball. Roll them both the same speed. Which one goes faster? It will be the bowling ball because it has more weight to it. Regular clouds do not have much weight to them, so they float through the sky slower then rain clouds.

One way you can tell is if you watch animals around you. They start to act abnormally. Horses will always have their muzzles in the air, sniffing...etc.

Some people have the ability to tell by feeling. For example, some people can smell the precipitation in the air. Some people can feel the way the wind changes, and know that rain, and perhaps a storm is on the horizon. People who live in a place where there's much rain and where they're outside allot, such as in the country, will be able to tell better than someone who lives in the city. Some trees turn their leaves upward when rain is aproaching which is an easy sign to spot since those trees are tall are can be seen from far away.

Acids do not burn on their own, so they do not directly affect fire. However, some acids can react with certain materials to release flammable gases or cause combustion in the presence of heat, increasing the fire hazard. It is important to handle acids carefully and store them away from fire hazards to prevent accidents.

The name "Raine" might come from the Anglo-Saxson route word "Reign" which essentially means to rule over, or have sovereignty over.

Or it could come from a more popular word "Rain" (perhaps a typo of this word?).

It does not rain money in reality. This phrase is often used metaphorically to refer to unexpected abundance or luck.

Freezing rain can come from Cumulonimbus and Nimbostratus clouds, but the clouds are not responsible for the freezing rain.

If the precipitation falls from the clouds as snow it must pass through a warm layer of air to melt the snow flakes into rain drops.

Then the raindrops must pass through a frigid layer of air that super-cools them.

Finally, the rain instantly turns to ice if it lands on a surface that has a temperature below freezing.

Then you know you have freezing rain.

Approximately 75 properties were flooded during the Boscastle flood in 2004.

Well, not these days. In the early 1900's, it wasn't too bad. But now with Global Warming and pollution, things have gotten from a little bad, to horrible. Studies show cars and humans have been polluting the air and making less room for other living things such as animals. So if you try drinking rain water or whatever your going to do, I wouldn't advise using it.

Around 150 people were rescued during the Boscastle flood of 2004, including those airlifted to safety by helicopters. Fortunately, there were no fatalities despite the scale of the flooding.

The humid regions of these two countries receive much rain during the monsoon season each year.

A flood tide refers to the rising tide as water moves toward the shore, whereas an ebb tide is the receding tide as water moves away from the shore. Flood tides can lead to higher water levels, while ebb tides result in lower water levels.
