Question

the journey of the raindrops for science elocation
in English

Answer 1

Here is your answer....


Let’s follow the path of one of those quintillion-or-so raindrops — let’s call him Tex — into the flood. At first, there was a flow of air northwestward from the Gulf of Mexico. As this southeast wind persisted, molecules of water continually evaporated into the air.

This can be considered the start of the ‘hydrologic cycle.’ Eventually, a ‘plume’ of moisture covered eastern Texas and adjacent areas.

A stagnant weather pattern above the plume, featuring modest divergence of air flows at upper levels, induced a gentle rising of air in the lower layers. As the air rose, it cooled, and since cooler air cannot hold as much water vapor as warmer air, some of the water vapor molecules condensed into water droplets, first small ones, then, as they bumped into each other and stuck together, bigger ones — some Texas-sized.

Tex was born. By the time Tex had been carried on the southeast winds to northeast Texas, the gentle lifting was not strong enough to keep Tex aloft, so he fell to the ground, as did many of his friends. No big deal; it rains often, and the drops either sink into the ground or roll to lower basins of water: Rivers, lakes, and reservoirs.

Normally weather moves from west to east. But the weather pattern that produced Tex, and which Decoded Science named Government for its sluggish movement, stayed nearly stationary for the better part of May. Tex was joined by millions of his friends, and rainfall that could be accommodated by existing lakes, reservoirs and drainage systems was followed by more rainfall. Eventually, there were enough drops to  overwhelm parts of the system.
