EleoNora [17]

Answer:

The water has left the system before if could be measured.

Explanation:

Some of the water has flowed quickly along as surface runoff and through the river channel. Scientists would then missed the chance to measure this rainfall. Some water will have been absorbed by nearby vegetation. The vegetation then releases the water in a vapor state, to the atmosphere. This process is known as transpiration. Heat in the atmosphere causes evaporation and the water never joins the soil of groundwater to be measured as part of the water table.

Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism are considered the “three pillars” of ancient Chinese society.
As philosophies and religions, they not only influenced spirituality, but also government, science, the arts, and social structure.
Though their specific beliefs and teachings have occasionally been at odds with each other, there has been much room for overlap.
Instead of one tradition taking over and pushing the others out, the three philosophies have influenced society alongside each other, changed each other, and at times blended together.
Understanding the unique interplay between these three traditions gives great insight into ancient Chinese society, as well as modern times.
