Note sull'episodio
In this illuminating episode, we delve into the fascinating world of rain chemistry, where water molecules journey from clouds to Earth in a complex cycle of condensation and precipitation. Through engaging interviews with meteorologists and hydrologists, we explore how raindrops form around microscopic nuclei and accumulate into precipitation. Our journey takes us from cloud formation to the moment raindrops impact the ground, where we'll examine how atmospheric gases dissolve into rainwater, creating weak carbonic acid that plays a crucial role in natural weathering processes. We'll investigate the crucial role of pH in rainwater, examining how industrial emissions can create acid rain that impacts ecosystems and infrastructure. The exploration continues as we uncover the chemistry behind how rain interacts with different landscapes and materia ...
