Ever heard of a flying river? I had no idea that trees did this! Check out this little passage from the NY times article. br --- br A fully grown tree releases 1,000 liters of water vapor a day into the atmosphere: The entire Amazon rain forest sends up 20 billion tons (of water) a day. The water vapor creates clouds, which are seeded with volatile gases like terpenes and isoprene, emitted by the trees naturally, to form rain. These water-rich banks of clouds travel long, wind-driven distances, a conveyor belt for the delivery of precipitation that scientists call flying rivers. The sky-borne river over the Amazon carries more water than the Amazon River itself. Here's the link for the article: http://nyti.ms/1PGTmde If you read this and thought, 'I knew that', What else do you know? What keeps you going back to a definable and recognizable past when there's so much more to explore! What else is possible that we've never considered before?
