About Rain
Liquid precipitation which falls from clouds in the sky, rain is responsible for redistributing and recycling moisture in the atmosphere and on the earth. Rain can fall at an intense rate in severe weather conditions, causing flooding. Other forms of precipitation include hail and snow.
About DeForestation
Deforestation is the act of destroying a perfectly good forest filled with possible cures for cancer, machines called trees that remove greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and replaces them with breathable oxygen, to make room for cows to eat. That is at least the case in places like Brazil where an area equivalent to the size of Panama is cleared every year.
About Water
Water is by far the most important substance on Earth. Water covers over 70 percent of the planet and makes up between 50 and 75 percent of the human body. In fact, it's one of the only things we are positive needs to be present for life to exist. When scientists look for life in our solar system and on exoplanets, they are looking for liquid water.
