Water on earth can be found in all three phases - gaseous (water vapor), solid (ice), and liquid.
The water in our atmosphere creates weather events - rain and fog, hurricanes and tornadoes.
Water vapor, along with other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, is responsible for keeping Earth's surface warm.
Warm air from the Gulf of Mexico fuels heavy precipitation events along the coast, making Louisiana the rainiest state in the country with about 60 inches of rain annually. |
