Clouds, Rain and the Water Cycle: value of rain, ice crystals

The video explores the significance of rain in nature, its role in agriculture, and how it supports life. It explains rain patterns across different seasons and the formation of snow in cold weather. The video also discusses the beauty of rainbows and the composition of clouds, highlighting their similarities to people in terms of diversity.

Why is rain considered important for food production?

• It provides sunlight for plants.

• It prevents pests from attacking crops.

• It supplies water necessary for plant growth.

• It increases the temperature for better crop yield.

What role does rain play in maintaining the environment?

• It reduces the Earth's gravitational pull.

• It increases the soil's mineral content.

• It keeps the air clean and provides fresh water.

• It helps in pollination of flowers.

Why do we see snow instead of rain in winter?

• The air is freezing, turning water into ice crystals.

• The air is too warm for rain.

• There is no water in the clouds.

• The sun evaporates all the rain.

What are clouds primarily made of?

• Oxygen molecules

• Dust particles

• Tiny water droplets or ice crystals

• Carbon dioxide

How are rainbows formed?

• By the absorption of light by clouds

• By the refraction and dispersion of light in water droplets

• By the scattering of light by dust particles

• By the reflection of sunlight on snow
