How Does Rain Happen

We all know that rain is the primary source of fresh water for most areas of the world, providing suitable conditions for diverse ecosystems. Rain is water that descends from the sky through several processes until the rain occurs. Do you know how does rain happens?

The phenomenon of rain is actually a water circle. The concept of a water circle includes the sun heating the Earth’s water surface and causing the water surface to evaporate. Earth’s water includes water from lakes, rivers, and oceans. Then, the water vapor experiences condensation and becomes condensed vapor. Condensed vapor is formed from droplets so that when the air temperature is higher, it makes the droplets gather, condensed, and formed into clouds. The presence of winds helps clouds move and gather in other places that have lower temperatures. At that time, the droplets become heavier and unstoppable and cause the droplets to fall so that there is rain.

If the droplets drop in an area with very cold temperatures, the droplets will drop as snow. However, not all rain reaches the surface. Some evaporate while falling through dry air. This is called Virga, a phenomenon that is often seen in hot, dry desert regions.

DESCRIPTIVE TEXT

Identification Examples of descriptive text contain the introduction of an object (place, person, thing, and others). For example, “Rain filled the sky. Make it look like a gray sapphire color: make it gray.” Take a look at the example above, which one includes identification? Obviously this sentence "Rain fills the sky."
