Answer:

A rainbow is caused by sunlight and atmospheric conditions.

Explanation:

A rainbow is formed when light (generally sunlight) passes through water droplets hanging in the atmosphere. The light waves change direction as they pass through the water droplets, resulting in two processes: reflection and refraction. When light reflects off a water droplet, it simply bounces back in the opposite direction from where it originated. When light refracts, it takes a different direction. Some individuals refer to refracted light as “bent light waves.” A rainbow is formed because white light enters the water droplet, where it bends in several different directions. When these bent light waves reach the other side of the water droplet, they reflect back out of the droplet instead of completely traversing the water. Since the white light is separated inside of the water, the refracted light appears as separate colors to the human eye.

klemol [59]

Answer:

Maritime tropical air masses originate over the warm waters of the tropics and Gulf of Mexico, where heat and moisture are transferred to the overlying air from the waters below.

aleksandrvk [35]
<span>When the water level of a stream or river exceeds its natural banks, it has reached its flood stage. This is a real panic stage for people living nearby the rivers and streams that has overflowed its natural banks. This flood situation can destroy any city or village and also drastically impact the financial situation of the area. Most cities and states move their citizens away from the river banks before it reaches this danger stage. Before the emergence of technological advancement, historical evidence proves that many great cities were destroyed due to such situations.  <span /></span>
