Life is a feature that distinguishes physical processes that contain biological processes, such as signaling and self-sustaining processes. It distinguishes them from those who either do not perform such tasks, or have ceased to perform such tasks, or have never had such tasks and are classified as inanimate. The condition that separates organisms from inorganic objects and dead organisms is manifested by growth through metabolism, reproduction, and adaptation to the environment through changes that occur internally.

Formation of Clouds when the invisible water vapor in the air condenses into visible water droplets or ice crystals. For this to happen, the parcel of air must be saturated, i.e. unable to hold all the water it contains in vapor form, so it starts to condense into a liquid or solid form. Water constantly moves from the earth to the air and back again. The constant circulation of water is known as the water cycle. The water in seas, rivers, lakes. ponds or streams evaporates because of the heat of the sun. Plants also give out large amounts of water from their leaves. The water vapour rises up. The air higher up in the atmosphere is cooler. This cools the water vapour and its condenses to form tiny drop of water. These drops of water together form clouds. As the clouds get cooled further, the water drops become bigger and heavier. When they become too heavy, they fall on the earth as rain and fill the sources of water like river, ponds, streams, etc.  Read More...

They can occur over a long period and can be disastrous for both the economy and human life. Droughts happen when there is not enough rain for a long period of time. It’s not like a dry spell – there is so little precipitation (rain, snow, sleet or any kind of moisture) that a whole region starts to dry out. Sometimes a drought takes decades to develop fully and they are very difficult to predict. During the drought there is so little rain that an entire area starts drying up.

When the rainfall is below normal for several weeks, months, or years, the water level begins to fall dramatically. If the dry season continues and water-supply problems develop.

You will be spending a lot of time together-be it visiting friends and family or shopping for household items after the wedding. In the beginning of marriage, a couple experiences thrilling moments with each other, where every moment is exciting and thrilling. But as time goes on, it loses that initial, thrilling spark which is quite okay. Many couples believe that talking about money and financial aspects is easy. On the contrary, it is not.
