It is commonly heard when a vehicle sounding a siren approaches, passes and recedes from ...
Most water falls as rain back into the ocean or onto land, where the water flows over the ground as surface runoff. A portion of this runoff enters rivers, with streamflow moving water towards the oceans. Runoff and water emerging from the ground (groundwater) may be stored as freshwater in lakes.
This scenario leads to increased precipitation and is a fundament behind the idea that the rain belt is moving north. [6] The contrast in temperature is only a part of the entire process that is driving the tropical rain belt northward. [6] Another factor that influences the tropical rain belt is ocean circulation.
A rain shadow is an area of significantly reduced rainfall behind a mountainous region, on the side facing away from prevailing winds, known as its leeward side. Evaporated moisture from water bodies (such as oceans and large lakes ) is carried by the prevailing onshore breezes towards the drier and hotter inland areas.

[98] A tropical savanna is a grassland biome located in semi-arid to semi-humid climate regions of subtropical and tropical latitudes, with rainfall between 750 and 1,270 mm (30 and 50 in) a year.
