Rain fall in the environment.

Rain fall in the environment.

This is the amount of rain falling in a given place.

Rain is formed by many processes in the environment.

The first process is water cycle, this is the process by which water is formed.

Other processes that you need to do the formation of rainfall.

Condensation

Evaporation

Transpiration

Transpiration

This is the this is the process that involves in vegetation where plants lose excess water to the environment .

This excess water is taken up in air the clouds and it forms up with clouds.

 The clouds become heavy and they end up falling down inform of rainfall .

This is how transportation is involved to formation of rainfall in areas in areas with vegetation and receive rainfall .

Condensation

This deals with condensing and pulling of warm air in space.

 The hot air in space is cold  down and out comes as water.

This is the one called rain water or rain fall.

Evaporation

This process mainly deals with water bodies like lakes and rivers .

When sun heat heats up the water bodies, their ofoccures evaporation where water vapour is taken up in space.

 This water vapour forms with  clouds ,out  of this in space hence cloud is coming heavy and end up falling to the Earth's surface in the form of rain.

Types of rain fall

Relief rain fall

Cyclonic rain fall

Convectional rain fall

Full explanation of rain fall types;

Relief rain fall

This is the type of rainfall mainly received in mountainous .

Area which receive this type of rainfall are hilly and mountainous.

Convectional rain fall

This is a type of rainfall received in areas with large water bodies.

 These water bodies include; swamps, lakes ,and rivers.

 

This rainfall is formed when the sun's heat heats up the water in the water bodies and causes of evporation .

After evaporation has occurred,water vapor moves up into the clouds and reaching the clouds ,they become heavy and later .

 They fall n the form of rain ,this is called convectional rainfall.

Cyclonic rain fall

This is a type of rainfall mainly received in areas which are plains.

Plateau areas include lake shores, these are flat topped  large pieces of  land .

Advantages of rain fall

-Rain fall helps Farmers grow their crops.

 -Rainfall provides water for domestic use.

-Rainfall soften the land for easy activat

Disadvantages of rainfall

Heavy rain fall causes floods

Heavy rain fall can also cause soil erosion

Heavy rain fall can destroy crops

Heavy rain fall causes land slides

Heavy rain fall destroys roads and bridges.

How to keep the environment with a good rain fall,

Carrying out afforestation.

This is the planting of trees in places with no vegetations.

It can also be defined as the planting of vegetation cover in a given area or environment.

Crop rotation.

This is the growing of crops season after season on the same piece land.

It can also be defined as the planting of different types of crops on the same piece of land seasonaly.

Protection of water bodies.

This is the cleaning of the water bodies like lakes and the rivers in the environment.

These help to maintain the good rain fall in the environment.

Sources of water in the environment.

Rain.

It is among natural sources of water in the environment.

Rain fall in the environment is among the natural sources of water.

It mainly provides rain water to people.

Other sources of water in the environment are;

Lakes, rivers, swamps and ponds .

They provide water naturally.

One can also say they are sources of water created by God.

They exist on their own and are not cared for by man.

Majory, we have two types of water sources in the environment.

We natural sources and man made sources.

Man made sources of water.

These are water sources made by man.

They are basically generated from some natural sources of water in the environment.

They include;taps, tanks,dams and many others.

These help man to keep water for the Long periods of time.

This is done mainly during the dry season.

Measuring rainfall.

This is knowing the amount of rain in the environment.

The instrument used to measure rain fall is

A rain gauge.

Rain fall is measured in millimeters.
