When raindrops evaporate before reaching the earth while passing through dry air, it is called? Correct Answer Virga

The correct answer is Virga.

  • It is called Virga when raindrops evaporate before reaching the earth while passing through dry air.
  • Fog is a natural weather condition that can cause visibility to become zero. Fog, like clouds is a collection of tiny water droplets formed when evaporated water is cooled. The way it is cooled decides how fog is formed.
  • Commonly, we see that fog is formed whenever there is a temperature difference between the ground and the air.
  • Mist is a phenomenon which is caused by small droplets of water suspended in air.

In a laboratory test run, the rate of drying was found to be 0.5 × 10-3 kg/m2.s, when the moisture content reduced from 0.4 to 0.1 on dry basis. The critical moisture content of the material is 0.08 on a dry basis. A tray dryer is used to dry 100 kg (dry basis) of the same material under identical conditions. The surface area of the material is 0.04 m2/kg of dry solid. The time required (in seconds) to reduce the moisture content of the solids from 0.3 to 0.2 (dry basis) is

Sentences of a paragraph are given below in jumbled order. Arrange the sentences in the right order to form a meaningful and coherent paragraph.   A. These kinds of sharks are known as obligate ram ventilators because they draw water in through their mouths and force it out through their gills. B. They use a method called buccal pumping, in which water is pulled in through the mouth and forced out through the gills by the cheek muscles. C. It is true that many types of sharks must keep moving in order to receive life-giving oxygen from the water passing through their gills. D. Other types of sharks are able to remain stationary because they possess special structures called spiracles, which force water out through their gills.
