Rain and Flooding

All rain falls from clouds, but clouds that you see which don't have rain falling from them are just not raining because the cloud has not become saturated with water vapour. When it does become so, it will rain.

The average monthly rainfall in Coventry, United Kingdom varies throughout the year. However, on average, Coventry receives around 50-60mm of rainfall per month. The wettest months tend to be in the autumn and winter, while the summer months are usually drier.

Well water is all over the planet (rivers, oceans, etc.). The sun wrms some of the water. The water (once warmed) takes on the form off a gas. The gas is called condensation. All the gas water comes together in areas, and form s clouds. When the clouds become to heavy the water falls back down as a liquid. This process is called the water cycle.

The water cycle is essential for maintaining the health and survival of biotic components in an ecosystem. It provides plants with necessary moisture for photosynthesis, regulates temperatures, and helps distribute nutrients throughout the ecosystem. Changes in the water cycle can disrupt these processes, leading to negative impacts on the biotic components of the ecosystem such as dehydration, reduced food availability, and habitat destruction.

Some places with low temperatures but high rainfall include the Pacific Northwest region of the United States (such as Seattle and Portland), parts of Western Europe (like the UK and Ireland), and the southern region of Chile. These areas typically experience cool, wet conditions due to their proximity to bodies of water and prevailing weather patterns.

Groundwater is the water that fills the cracks and spaces in underground soil, rock, and sediment. It plays an important role in the water cycle by replenishing surface water sources such as rivers and lakes through seepage and providing a vital source of drinking water for many communities.

Rain will fall when the air temperature is above freezing.

The organism that lives in pond water and looks like a screw is called a "rotifer." Rotifers are microscopic aquatic animals that have cilia around their mouth that resemble a rotating wheel, giving them the appearance of a screw when they swim. They are important in freshwater ecosystems as they are part of the zooplankton community.

Areas prone to flooding in North America include coastal regions, such as the Gulf Coast and Atlantic Coast, where hurricanes and tropical storms can lead to storm surge and heavy rainfall. Additionally, river valleys, such as the Mississippi River basin and parts of the Midwest, are also susceptible to flooding due to heavy rains and snowmelt. Urban areas with poor drainage systems are also at risk of flooding during heavy rainfall events.

Bergen (Bryggen), Norway.Bergen is renowned for its plentiful rainfall (and has been nicknamed the City of Rain or the Seattle of Europe), which makes up most of the 2250 mm (88 in) yearly average precipitation. A joke is told in Bergen about a tourist asking a local boy if it ever stops raining. "I don't know, replies the boy, I'm only twelve." Another story is told,that horses were frightened when they saw a man without umbrella.

Water Vapour is considered as gas and since its particles are spread out it is light and therefore able to rise up into the clouds. As the clouds gather/collect water vapour it gets heavier. Cold air cools down the water vapour turning it back into water droplets and fall back to the ground.

To fix a Rain Fade message on SKY Television, press and hold the Reset button on the box. When all the lights appear, let go of the Reset button. The box will reboot in 30-60 seconds and will return to the channel that was last viewed.

Clearing a river of debris allows for a less obstructed path for the water to flow. The debris acts almost like a dam. Beavers build their dams to flood a river of stream and create a pond or lake for themselves. The debris does the same thing: it keeps the water from flowing in the direction that it's supposed to go. The water has to go somewhere, but if it can't continue along the most direct route, then it flows out and around whatever is blocking its path.

I live only about 30 miles from the Mississippi River, and so, in the spring, a lot of times, we'll hear about flooding on the Mississippi due to ice jams. Ice that has frozen over the river during the winter thaws enough to where it breaks free of the banks and floats downstream. Sometimes, though, the larger pieces will be too large to pass between the legs of a bridge, and so they get caught under bridges. Other pieces of ice get caught behind, under, and overtop of it, and eventually, it forms an ice jam. If it's not cleared soon enough, these jams can cause a lot of flooding. There are crews who's job it is is to clear these jams before they get too large.

The debris blocks the river and forces the water to find a different path, causing it to flood.

Rainwater is considered one of the purest forms of natural water because it does not come into contact with pollutants or contaminants present in the atmosphere. As it falls, it picks up minerals and nutrients from the air, making it more suitable for plants and animals. However, it can pick up contaminants if it passes through polluted air or as it travels along the ground, so it's not always completely pure.

Most of the water in the water cycle at any given time is found in the world's oceans. Around 97% of Earth's water is stored in the oceans, making it the largest reservoir in the water cycle.

A brief rainfall is a short-lived period of rain that lasts for a short duration, typically less than an hour. It can vary in intensity but tends to be light to moderate in nature.

well you need to have three important items for clouds to form.

1- moisture so the water can form the cloud.

2- cooling air so that the water vapor can be condenced.

3- condensation Nuclei or also known as dust. the dust will gather the water vapor in the air, without it clouds can not form.

As a rain drop falls it is subjected to the forces of the air it is falling through, the most important being drag. The drag of the air on the surface of a drop of water is trying to hold it back as it falls. As the air circles around the back of the water drop, the slight vacuum that is formed by the falling pulls the upper part of the drop up into a cone shape. Eventually, these actions result in the very streamlined shape that a raindrop has before it hits the ground.

Transpiration is the biological process in the water cycle where plants absorb water from the soil through their roots and release water vapor through their leaves into the atmosphere. This process plays a crucial role in maintaining the water cycle's balance and regulating Earth's climate.

Water is made of 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom. The total combined mass of 1 molecule of water (H2O) is 18.015 grams. This will remain constant as long as the water chemically remains as water. It won't matter what state the water is in, be it solid (ice), liquid, or vapor (steam). The mass of 1 mole of water will still be 18.015 grams.

I do not have real-time access to data. You can check the year-to-date rainfall for Long Island, NY by contacting the National Weather Service, visiting their website, or checking local news sources for updated information.

Woodlands typically receive between 50-200 cm of rainfall annually, depending on the specific location and climate conditions. This moderate to high amount of rainfall supports diverse plant and animal species in the woodland ecosystem.

The sky appears to change before rain because of the way water droplets and ice crystals in the clouds scatter different colors of sunlight. This scattering can create various colors and cloud formations that signal an impending change in the weather. Additionally, as rain clouds build, they often block out sunlight, causing the sky to appear darker and more turbulent.

A rainbow is formed when sunlight is refracted, reflected, and dispersed in water droplets in the sky, creating a spectrum of colors. The primary concept behind this is called dispersion, where different wavelengths of light are refracted at slightly different angles, revealing the various colors of the rainbow.
