Examples of Moisture in a Sentence

1. Al Gore:

   We’re still putting 162 million tons [of greenhouse gas] into it every single day and the accumulated amount is now trapping as much extra heat as would be released by 600,000 Hiroshima-class atomic bombs exploding every single day on the earth, that’s what’s boiling the oceans, creating these atmospheric rivers, and the rain bombs, and sucking the moisture out of the land, and creating the droughts, and melting the ice and raising the sea level, and causing these waves of climate refugees.

2. Valentina Mella:

   Koalas have been alleged to never drink free water in the wild, or to drink only occasionally. Drinking behavior has often been considered unusual and attributed to disease or to severe heat stress, koalas were thought to gain the majority of the water that they require from the moisture content in the leaves that they feed on and to drink water unintentionally in the wild by eating wet leaves after rain, or when dew is present on the leaf surface.

3. The US Geological Survey:

   When atmospheric moisture is abundant, these droplets combine with it and fall as acid rain, damaging plants and accelerating the rusting of metal objects such as cars, industrial and farm equipment, and building components.

4. Carlos Armando Uribe:

   It's likely it will rain less but it will rain. In some areas that have soils with good moisture retention, there is no risk.

5. Daniel Swain:

   That couple of degrees of [ average ] warming over decades... you don't notice it as much, but it's still there lurking in the background, sucking extra moisture out of the vegetation and the soil.
