No 2 is scary Like a child is being borne every second And sex occurs every second that is gonna affect the ecosystem man. Entropy must always change sha |

ikp120:it's both geography and physics(even more) water cycle evaporation, condensation, radiation etc |

mrphysics:Nice article. I see you are a good writer. Though you may be right about saying "There are things that must be occurring every second on earth." I doubt if rainfall is one of them, or even sex. I think those figures have been exaggerated. Certainly, childbirth cannot take place every second in a day. If that were true, the world would have been over-populated by now since that would mean every year, around 30 million childbirths occur. That's highly unlikely. The current world population stands at approximately 7.3 billion (March 2017 estimate); if people had sex every second or gave birth every second; the world population would have exceeded this figure long ago -- taking into account current figures of annual mortality rate. Last year, the United States Census Bureau estimated there is one birth every 7 seconds and one death every 13 seconds, with a net gain of one person on earth every 11 seconds. As a graduate of STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics), one should be wary of using figures unjustifiably unless they are backed by research. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Butterworth:Lol. There is no need to join words with you. |
Re: 7 New Facts About Rainfall You Should Know - Mrphysics by IamaNigerianGuy(m): 1:32pm On May 24, 2017 |
Butterworth: God bless you. As far add I'm concerned there is nothing even remotely rigorous about this article. It could just as well be labeled a short story. Too much ignorance in Nigeria; people are even applauding him! |
Re: 7 New Facts About Rainfall You Should Know - Mrphysics by mrphysics(m): 1:49pm On May 24, 2017 |
gensteejay:Thanks. Though that of raifall occurs every second. |
Re: 7 New Facts About Rainfall You Should Know - Mrphysics by mrphysics(m): 1:52pm On May 24, 2017 |
IamaNigerianGuy:Is this not noise? You have not refuted anything I put forward in the article and you are just saying anything. Please there is something called constructive argument. qensteejay did that and I commend him for that, he came with facts and figures. That is how scientist argue and not just making philosophical inference. |
Re: 7 New Facts About Rainfall You Should Know - Mrphysics by Nobody: 1:52pm On May 24, 2017 |
mrphysics:OK. |
Re: 7 New Facts About Rainfall You Should Know - Mrphysics by mrphysics(m): 1:56pm On May 24, 2017 |
ikp120:Majority of the things you learn about weather in geography came from physics research. The study of the lower atmosphere called Meteorology teaches a whole lot about weather that you might not know. Someone has already told you that they are both geography and even more of physics. This is because the mathematical aspect of them have been sieved way from geography students |
Re: 7 New Facts About Rainfall You Should Know - Mrphysics by mrphysics(m): 1:59pm On May 24, 2017 |
gensteejay:I must commend you for your logical argument. I learned a lot from the facts and figures you put there. That of rainfall was carefully researched before putting it up there. |
Re: 7 New Facts About Rainfall You Should Know - Mrphysics by Nobody: 2:02pm On May 24, 2017 |
mrphysics:Well done. I see you are a freelance writer and Physics graduate like me. That's cool. |

El- Nino and La - Nina What is the physics behind spiritualists that claim to hold rain from falling because of an event. |
Re: 7 New Facts About Rainfall You Should Know - Mrphysics by Milo30(m): 2:05pm On May 24, 2017 |
No. 4 is bullshit. Mrphysics I didn't even understand your explanation. Does the ground ever get significantly wet without rainfall? |
Re: 7 New Facts About Rainfall You Should Know - Mrphysics by Nobody: 2:18pm On May 24, 2017 |
bsideboii:Lol. That's a very controversial aspect. Though I am a religionist, physics or science generally doesn't entertain the thought that there's is an Unseen Being controlling the universe, or that natural phenomena like rainfall, thunder, etc. can be controlled by magic or voodoo. I don't really bother myself about all these superstitious beliefs but I believe in the existence of dark power, magic. Maybe scientists will be able to prove these spiritual concepts are real some day. Maybe the recent noetic science will. Noetic science is a new field of science that attempts to explain concepts that are related to soul, death, consciousness etc. using physical laws. Other than the major discovery in noetic science few years ago where experts in the field were able to measure the mass of the human soul using a dead body and some scientific tools, no other recent breakthroughs have been made as of now. Noetic science is still at the nascent stage. |

ikp120:U're still right but Meteorology and climate science is also partially known as Atmospheric physics.....It is d study of the atmosphere using laws of physics and mathematical applications.... more of physics and maths but geography remains d bedrock |
Re: 7 New Facts About Rainfall You Should Know - Mrphysics by mrphysics(m): 2:41pm On May 24, 2017 |
gensteejay:Lol. Yeah, I'm a freelance writer and physics and astronomy graduate. |
Re: 7 New Facts About Rainfall You Should Know - Mrphysics by bsideboii(m): 3:33pm On May 24, 2017 |
gensteejay:Hmmm.. Thanks for the little exposee.Indeed there is a lot to be discovered. |

which kind crap is dis for goodness sake |
Re: 7 New Facts About Rainfall You Should Know - Mrphysics by PastorSeun(m): 4:45pm On May 24, 2017 |
I wish to clarify that warm air is less dense and readily rises most especially when heated up which is the mechanism responsible for land and sea breezes. Warm air rises and cools as it goes up within the troposphere. |
Re: 7 New Facts About Rainfall You Should Know - Mrphysics by mrphysics(m): 5:10pm On May 24, 2017 |
PastorSeun:Yes, you are correct. |
Re: 7 New Facts About Rainfall You Should Know - Mrphysics by mrphysics(m): 6:08pm On May 24, 2017 |
Harrytimbog:Knowledge is knowledge and there have a source most times. When physicists realized the interest of geographers in the lower atmosphere, they literally left it to study the higher atmosphere. This study led to the discovery of the ionosphere and the study of this atmosphere is called ionospheric physics. Physicists have more knowledge backed up with facts about the atmosphere more than what geography teaches. They go deeper into the cause of such weather conditions. Notwithstanding physics has lesser interests in this region already being struggled for by geographers |
Re: 7 New Facts About Rainfall You Should Know - Mrphysics by Harrytimbog(m): 9:41pm On May 24, 2017 |
mrphysics:I studied Meteorology and climate science and i have a B.Tech in this discipline.... we took too many physics and mathematics courses to the extent that physics and mathematics students sabi us too well...+ according to Library of congress classification/arrangement of book, meteorology falls under physics which is denoted by the code Qc. But its still a discipline under Geoscience and it falls under the faculty (school of earth and mineral science). I would say t involves d 3 subjects tho. |
Re: 7 New Facts About Rainfall You Should Know - Mrphysics by mrphysics(m): 9:49pm On May 24, 2017 |
Harrytimbog:You are correct. Meteorology is an area of specialization in physics. I did four courses under that specialization. These four courses were devoted to the study. I didn't really like it because it does not involve so much calculations. It's more of stories. Lol. Which school offer Meteorology and climate science as a single course? |
Re: 7 New Facts About Rainfall You Should Know - Mrphysics by Harrytimbog(m): 9:58pm On May 24, 2017 |
mrphysics:Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA) ......Only sch dat offers d course as a degree course in West Africa |

Harrytimbog:Wao, that's really nice.But you have graduated right? |
