HOTS CORNER

1. Why is rainwater the purest form of water?

2. Rain water is considered to be the purest form of natural water as it
is directly comes from the condensation of water droplets. In the
presence of sun, the water evaporates from the seas, oceans , rivers
(from all the natural open resources of water) leaving behind all the
impurities and form the cloud.

4. How do the animals living in soil get affected by heavy rain?

Ans.As the air between the soil particles is filled with water so they come out of soil spaces
to breathe.

4. You are drenched completely while playing in the rain. But
