Appu, an elephant, sees that the banana trees he eats from are drooping because it has not rained. He walks to the river, fills his trunk with water, and pours it on the banana trees. The trees come alive again. Appu promises to water the trees every day since they provide him with bananas. Plants get water mainly from rain but also from sources like rivers when elephants or other animals carry it to them.

2. Appu ate bananas. Appu likes bananas very much. He plucks and
eats bananas from the trees every day. One day, he saw that the
banana trees were drooping. It had not rained for a long time.

3. I must get water in my trunk – said Appu. He started walking
towards the river. Appu drank water till he was happy. He bathed
his body with his trunk.

4. Then he carried water in his trunk and poured it on the banana
trees. As soon as the banana trees got water they came alive. Appu
said – From now on I will get water for you everyday. After all, you
also give me ripe and tasty bananas.

5. where do the plants growing around your house get water? Appu
watered the banana tree. But elephants don’t water trees. Then,
where do plants get water from? Plants mostly get water from rain.
When it rains plants seem to get a new look.

6. Let us see why plant need water……
Water is essential for the celluar function of plant And for the
process of photosynthesis. Most plants are terrestrial which means
they live on land, and water is a relatively scarce. In order for a plant
to survive, it must able to obtain water to distribute to all parts of
plant cell, and then conserve the water with in the system.

7. When it is rainy all the rivers lakes, and ponds filled water.but when
it is a sunny day. Water from river, and ponds lakes
starts evaporate and rises up.

8. Sunlight causes water to evaporate into the atmosphere. This air
containing the water vapor is heated at the surface of the earth and
rises. As the air rises, it cools and the water vapor condenses on some
form of particulate matter such as dust, ash, or smoke to form
clouds. The particulate matter are called Condensation.

9. So, what is a cloud? It is a thick mass of suspended water drops or
ice crystals. What do clouds tell us? The presence of clouds in the sky
is one type of signal to meteorologists that there will be changes in
the weather. Predicting the weather requires the understanding of
the different types of clouds.

10. To better communicate and understand the many cloud forms in the
sky, meteorologists identify clouds based on five basic cloud
characteristics: The altitude at which they occur Color, Density,
Shape, Degree of cover. From this information, we can identify three
basic cloud types and seven other common cloud type.

11. Clouds can be classified by some simple, but subjective, criteria that
also provides information on the atmospheric conditions. One form
of classification is based on appearance or form. Using these
characteristics you can identify the three basic cloud types: stratus,
cirrus, and cumulus .

12. Stratus clouds are thin, sheet-like clouds. They are layered with
some rippling, and cover large portions of the sky. They are
frequently gray and thick. Stratus clouds are formed when air is
forced up slowly

13. Cirrus clouds are thin, white clouds with a feathery appearance.
They are the highest of all clouds forming at heights of 30,000 feet or
more above the earth's surface. Cirrus clouds are formed by ice
crystals. They generally occur in fair weather and point in the
direction of air movement at their elevation. Cirrus clouds are
usually the first sign of an approaching storm.

14. Cumulus clouds are flat-based, billowing clouds with vertical
doming. Often the top of cumulus clouds have a "cauliflower-like"
appearance. Cumulus clouds are most prominent during the
summer months. Cumulus or fluffy clouds form when air is forced
up rapidly and therefore rises higher.
