WHERE DOES
RAIN COME FORM ?
•
[statement] Rain always comes from clouds. But where do
clouds come from? How does all that water get into the sky?
•
[explanation] Think about your bathroom. There is hot
water in your bath. Steam goes up from the hot water. The steam makes small
clouds in the bathroom. These warm clouds meet the cold walls and windows, and
then we see small drops of water on the walls and windows.
•
[explanation] The world is like your bathroom. The water
in the oceans is warm when the sun shines on it. Some of this water goes up
into the sky and makes clouds. The wind carries the clouds for hundreds of
kilometers. Then the clouds meet cold air in the sky, and we see drops of
water. The drops of water are rain.
•
[conclusion] The rain falls and runs into rivers. Rivers
run into oceans. And the water from oceans makes clouds and more rain. So water
is always moving from oceans to clouds to rain to rivers to oceans. So the rain
on your head was on other heads before! The water in your garden was in other
gardens in other countries.
