Waterspout formation typically occurswhen cold air moves across the Great Lakes and results in large temperature differences between the warm water and the overriding cold air. They tend to last from about two to twenty minutes, and move along at speeds of 10 to 15 knots. Are waterspouts rare?

For example, most people in China's cities suffer from water shortages, and most of China's groundwater, lakes and rivers are polluted. About 700 million Chinese people have access only to drinking water that does not meet standards set by the World Health Organization [source: WHO]. ...

These include pyramidal peaks, knife-edge arêtes, and bowl-shaped cirques that can contain lakes. Plateau mountains, such as the Catskills, are formed from the erosion of an uplifted plateau. And after millions of years of erosion, mountains may cease to exist entirely. ...
Here we show how major rivers can efficiently connect to the deep-sea, by analysing the longest runout sediment flows (of any type) yet measured in action on Earth. These seafloor turbidity currents originated from the Congo River-mouth, with one flow tr
While lake effect snow events typically come as single-lake one-offs, such as a band forming over Lake Erie and then unleashing onto Buffalo to the east, when atmospheric parameters are favorable, bands from different lakes can merge to enhance the snowfall counts downstream, so to speak. So...
The primary source of atmospheric humidity is the evaporation of water from large bodies of water, such as oceans, seas, lakes and rivers. The sun’s heat causes this water to evaporate and become water vapor, which then enters the air. However, many everyday activities also contribute to ...
