AIR
When water evaporates from land and different water bodies, it becomes water vapour. Moisture in the
air at any time, is known as humidity. When the air is full of water vapor we call it a humid day. As
the air gets warmer, its capacity to hold the water vapour increases and so it becomes more and more
humid. On a humid day, clothes take longer to dry and sweat from our body does not evaporate easily,
making us feel very uncomfortable.
Types of Rainfall
When the water vapour rises, it starts cooling. The water vapour Rain Gauge:
condenses causing formation of droplets of water. Clouds are just measure the
masses of such water droplets. When these droplets of water become amount of rain.
too heavy to float in air, then they come down as precipitation.
Jet planes flying in the sky leave a white trail behind them. The
moisture from their engines condenses. We see trails of this condensed
moisture for some time when there is no air movement to disturb it.
Precipitation that comes down to the earth in liquid form is called rain.
Most of the ground water comes from rainwater. Plants help preserve
water. When trees on hill sides are cut, rainwater flows down the bare
mountains and can cause flooding of low lying areas.
Rainfall is very important for the survival of plants and animals. It
brings fresh water to the earth’s surface. If rainfall is less – water
scarcity and drought occur. On the other hand if it is more, floods take
place.
