Answer:

3 years

Explanation:

Even there was a dry year in 1979, the area received almost the normal amount of rain in 1980.

In 1981 however, the year was quite dry, with rainfalls in drop of almost 20%, that began one of the most important drought in the history of Brazil.

In 1982, rainfalls were down by 30% and it got even worse.

In 1983, the rainfalls were down by about 35%, essentially destroying all the agriculture system that had been severely damaged by the two previous years.

In 1984, rain came back a bit higher than its traditional levels, and in 1985, the area was flooded by rain surpassing the average by 60%!

Zinaida [17]

The statement is true.
As weird as it may sound, helium was indeed first discovered on the Sun, and after some time on Earth. The first evidence of helium was observed on August 18 1868, as a bright yellow line with a wavelength of 587.49 nanometers in the spectrum of the Sun's chromosphere. This line has been detected by a French astronomer by the name of Jules Janssen during a total solar eclipse in Gantur, India.

Answer:

The total amount of water on the planet that is present in the atmosphere at any given time is about 0.001% of the total water found on Earth. This atmospheric water is responsible for all storms.

If by in storage we mean in groundwater then the percentage would be 1.69.

Explanation:

The overwhelming majority of all water on our planet resides in the oceans. These hold about 96.5% of the total.

If we only consider freshwater (water with no salt) then the greatest storage areas are ice caps, glaciers, and groundwater aquifers.
