5. We all known what is the rain ?
Rain is the natural phenomena where
the water fall from the sky into the
earth. Sure that everybody in the earth
have been felt how does rain fall, but
maybe only somebody who know
how does rain can be happen.
Because of that, we will explain you
about “How Does Rain Happen”.
6. RAIN
Rain is the primary source of fresh
water for most areas of the world,
providing suitable conditions for diverse
ecosystems, as well as water for
hydroelectric power plants and crop
irrigation.
The phenomenon of rain is actually a
water circle or usually called by
Hydrology Cycle. The concept of the
water cycle involves the sun.
7. Water in the earth is kept in many places like the ocean, the river
Hydrology Cycle (Rain)
and the lake. But don't be wrong, the plants leaves and the land also
kept water. Each day, this water will evaporate with help of the sun.
The process where water evaporates from plants is called
transpiration. Afterwards the vapor will experience the process
of condensation where the vapor will condense and turn into a cloud.
The form of the cloud always changes according to weather
conditions. The clouds will move to different locations with the help of
wind that bellows vertically or horizontally. The movement of the
vertical wind results in the cloud forming big 'lumps'. After that, the
wind increases the size of the cloud and each cloud will overlap.
Finally the cloud will reach the atmosphere that has a lower
temperature. Here the particles of water and ice is formed. Eventually,
the wind can not support the weight of the cloud and so the cloud that
is full with water will experience a process called precipitation or the
process where rain or hail falls to earth.
8. Hydrology Cycle
The water vapor rises into the Earth's
atmosphere. The water in the atmosphere cools
and condenses into liquid droplets. The droplets
grow until they are heavy and fall to the earth as
precipitation which can be in the form of rain or
snow.
However, not all rain reaches the surface. Some
evaporates while falling through dry air. This is
called virga, a phenomenon which is often seen in
hot, dry desert regions.
11. Step of Hydrology Cycle (Rain)
1. Water in the ocean, sea, lake, river and the other (In the earth) evaporated
by the heat sun.
2. After that the water into water vapor and the cloud. Cloud moving
because the wind and move until meet the cold temperature.
3. After meeting the cold temperatures the water vapor condenses, back into
water and fall to earth as rain.
4. After the water falling down to earth (rain), water come back to sea, river,
lake, and some plant to kept by the plant in the ground (presipitation).
