Question

For the last few years, an African village did not receive adequate rainfall. Due to this, the farmers in this village have suffered a huge loss of their crops and incurred heavy losses. What do you think can stimulate rainfall and help these farmers? A. synthetic biology B. using nanotechnology C. using genetically modified seeds and plants D. cloud seeding E. using GPS

Answer 1

• D. cloud seeding

Step-by-step explanation:

Cloud seeding is aimed mainly to stimulate rainfall.

The process consists in spraying the clouds with some chemicals, whose particles can serve as nucleation center, inducing the formation of ice. Then, liquid droplets will form around the ice particles and, when they are large and heavy enough, will precipitate.

Although this procedure has been used it is objet of study because it effectiveness is in doubt.

One of the chemicals that is mentioned in the sources for cloud seeding is silver iodide, among others.
