Precipitation




We have been studying weather during science. Describe why the water cycle is important to all people, especially those of use that are living in the desert.
How does it help with the formation of clouds? What is your favorite type of cloud to see or look at? (nimbus, cirrus, cumulus) Explain why?

  1. The water cycle is important because if we didn't have it we wouldn't have clouds. Clouds are important because it waters plants. It gives us shelter from the sun by blocking out sunlight. Clouds gives us all the wonderful sunsets. My favorite type of cloud is the Cumulus nimbus because it gives us tons of rain and there so big and puffy. My nickname for it is Cuemy.

  2. The water cycle is is important because we need water to live. We also need it because we don't get much water in the desert. It is also important because plants need water. My favorite type of cloud is Clumo-nimbus. I like them because they are big and fluffy.

  3. The water cycle is important because with out it we would not have any rain. What makes rain,clouds so we need clouds to make rain. Rain is important because it cleans of the dirt from plants and waters them. Also in the desert there is not a lot of water so we catch rain water in our canals and then purify it so we can use it for cooking,bathing,drinking,ect. My favorite type of cloud is Cumulonimbus. I like the Cumulonimbus cloud because they are big and fluffy. Also they bring rain.

  4. The water cycle is really important because with it, we would have no rain. Especially for the people In the desert (us) we would not survive for a couple weeks. But for the people near the oceans can just grab a bucket of water and purify it. Same thing with the people near the Great Lakes. My favote cloud is Cumulonimbis cloud because it could a big huge white cloud, or a black or gray cloud tat could bring HUGE rain showers.

  5. The water cycle is important because without it we would never have rain. Rain is important because it gives us water to purify for drinking. This water is also needed for watering our gardens and trees. Without water, we would not be able to clean ourselves off nor wash our clothes. I love the stratus clouds because there is one strip of clouds and then two meters away is another strip of clouds. I think this looks so neat.

  6. The water cycle is the mostly important because we wouldn't have any water.Water is the most important resource. If we had no water there will be no clouds. Also, If we didn't have water, we would be hydrated all the time by drinking pop,kool-aid,and ice tea and things like that. Water helps us by watering our plants, drinking, and keeping things healthy.I like the cirrus cloud the best because its really big and looks like a tornato. It looks really cumfy too.I would like to sleep on that.

The clouds are important because tehy hold the rain and produce shade, without clouds, there would be no rain. My favorite type of cloud is the cumulusnibus because they just look like you can reach out and touch it.

  12. I think the water cycle is important because It bring water to plants and animals. Also it can put water in rivers. My favorite clouds are the cumuls and the cumilonimbus. I like the cumulus because it's just big, white, and puffy. Why I like the cumilonimbus is because it's the cloud that gives rain. I LOVE RAIN!!!! I love rain because well, I lived in Canada!

  13. The water cycle is important because it helps things grow and if we did not have rain or precipitation the world will be very dry and we would have LOTS of droughts! My favorite type of cloud is cumulonimbus because they produce rain and I used to live in Illinois and we got LOTS of rain! So I really love it!!!

  14. The Water Cycle is one of the most important things to humanity because it cools the earth down and without precipitation our earth would be so hot we wouldn't be able to live. My favorite type of cloud is probably cumulonimbus because its huge and rains and is just cool. Rain also feels good on your skin and helps grow everything pretty much. We might not like storms at all because it destroys property but we better start being appreciative for that water. Back in Kansas I got a lot of rain and loved it. FYI I lived in Kansas for my first 5 years of living then moved here.

  15. The Water Cycle is important for many reasons. First, if there was no rain, there would be no human life because it would be too hot. Second, it helps water crops, which feed billions of people. Third, it feels nice to go outside and feel it raining, especially in 100˚ Phoenix. The Water Cycle helps with the formation of clouds because without evaporation, there wold be no clods. My favorite type of cloud to look at is fog because it is so cool to see a clod on the grond moving through a city.

  16. My favorite clout to look at us the cumulus cloud. I like looking at those clouds because I picture myself lacing in them. The cycle is important so the desert and us because with out any rain are plants wouldn't grow. Unless we went to every plant in the world and water them. It's important to the desert because the desert needs water to, to grow, even though they don't get a lot it's still important to get at least a little bit.

  17. My favorite cloud is the nimbus because it sound nimble. Haha. The water cycle is important to us because the rain waters our plants and if it floods evaporation will help a little. And in the desert we are dry and the rain fills our lakes and creates water for wild animals. I don't know how it helps the formation of clouds. I need to look that up!!

  18. The water cycle is important because if we didn't have the water cycle it wouldn't rain. It's important to the desert because plants need rain in order to grow. My favorite cloud to look at is cumulonimbus because it gives us lots of rain. My second favorite cloud to look at is cumulus because they're big and puffy:) This is why the water cycle is important to us and other people.

  20. My favorite cloud is the cumulus, because it's so puffy. If we didn't have the water cycle, then the water we drink wouldn't be able to start as water again. Another reason the water cycle's important, is because we need rain to help plants grow. Also, we need rain to grow crops. We even wouldn't be able to cool off in the heat.

  21. The water cylce is a really important thing, especially in the desert. Clouds create shade and in Arizona shade is a really important thing! Clouds also make all of the beautiful sunsets. They also create rain. Without rain it would be too hot to live here, our crops would die, and everything would be really dry. My favorite cloud to look at is the cummuls because it is big white and fluffy!

  22. The water cycle is important because we would die without it. First of all we need it because we need the water it provides. If we didn't have the water cycle, then the rivers, oceans, lakes, etc. would dry up. Plus we need it because we wouldn't be able to grow our crops. Alot of the essential food we have today is grown out of the ground. It's even worse in the desert because you get dehydrated even faster which means you need more water. It helps the cloud formation because we need evaporation to make more clouds. My favorite cloud to look at is the cumulus cloud because it's so nice to look at. It's also so nice and fluffy and white.

  23. The water cycle is really important because without it we will all roast and shrivel up and die. It gives all life water. No water, no life, no Earth. Earth would look like Venus. The water cycle is essential to all life. We must have it, or nothing will survive.

  24. The water cycle is very important to us because we would get very very hot and well die!! Especially in Arizona!! Only because its already way too hot!! The rain also helps crops grow and that's very important!! My favorite cloud is the cumulonimbus. I like that cloud because its huge and beautiful!! The sad part is it usually separates quickly.

  25. The water cycle is important for many reasons. First we would slowly run out of water to drink as it evaporates. Also if we don't have it we would have no rain, and no rain to feed crops means we all starve. Then we wouldn't be able to even see the sun because their would be to many clouds in the sky. All the clouds may help the weather in the desert, but not by much and then evrybody will start to get massive headaches from dehydration and eventually die. My favorite clouds are cirrus. I think it's fun to look at their wispy forms.

  26. The water cycle is important because if we didn't have water we would all die. Another reason the water cycle is important because we need rain to help plants grow. Also we need rain to grow crops. Without rain it would be too hot and we would all burn up. My favorite cloud is cumulus because It's really puffy.

  27. I think water cycle is important because without rain or weather the Earth would be a very hot and dry place. The water cycle is when the sun evaporates water and then the evaporation turns into clouds. When the clouds get filled up with water it rains. After that the cycle starts over and over again. All plants need water to live. Like the rain forests rely on rain to live because nobody goes to water all the plants in the rain forests. My favorite cloud is a Cumulus cloud because they look so soft. In fact, they look so soft that you could sleep on one. Also, in the Desert, plants and animals don't get a lot of rain. Plants adapt to the heat and lack of water, so when they get water they need to conserve it.

  28. The water cycle is very important to plants and animals. If there were no rains, the rivers would dry up. Plants and animals would die out. Rain is valuable specilly in the desert. I like the thunder cloud because it looks powerful.

  29. I think that the ater cycle is important because without water the Earth would be too hot too live on.Without water earth would be a dry planet and plants and animals and also humans could not live on earth.This is why the water cycle is important to make sure we have water to drink and to use for plants or crops. This is why i think that the water cycle is important to us and earth.

  30. I think the water cycle is important because without it, we would run out of water and die!!!!!!!!!! Everything would dry up and we would dehydrate to death!:(
    By the way I like cirrus clouds because of how wispy they look.

  31. The Water Cycle is very important because without it we would run out of water and die.
    It also is important because all our crops would burn up so than we couldn't make food anymore.
    The last reason is the trees and plants would die, so we wouldn't get as much oxygen anymore.
    And my favorite cloud is the Cirrus cloud because I like there wispiness. I think it looks awesome

  32. The water cycle helps people because without it we would be dead. It especially helps people in the desert like Arizona because its so hot and we need rain. The water cycle makes clouds. That's how we get rain because its water. I like looking at the cumulus because they sometimes look like things.

  34. The water cycle is very important because that's how we would get our water from to live. If we did not have the water cycle everyone in the whole world would get dehydrated and die. My favorite cloud to look at is cumulus clouds because I love how they are big and fluffy.Without the water cycle there would be no clouds either.

Before the Earth had rain it was just a big barren wasteland. My fave type of cloud is cirrocumulus because they look really thin and spotty. I am very glad we have clouds.

  36. THe water cycle is vary inportant because if we did not have it we would die. We would have no water to feed are crops.It would also be vary worm.And there would be no more clouds to shade us. Thats y its inportend to have a water cycle.
