Examples of Moisture in a Sentence

1. Ben Domensino:

   The size, shape and location of Tiwi Islands make them a perfect place for Hector to develop, sea breezes develop over the islands from all sides and meet in the middle. These converging winds, which are carrying moisture from the surrounding sea, have to go somewhere when they clash... so they go up. This rising column of air becomes cooler with height, which causes water vapour to condense into liquid droplets, forming clouds.

2. John Strotbeck:

   Fabric technology evolved quickly from the ’80s through the early ’00s, providing more stretch, more security, better hand, moisture wicking to make them fit better for the athlete.

3. Carol Smith:

   Fuel moisture is very low, which means those fuels are ready. If there's any kind of spark, or something to start a fire, those fuels are primed and ready to just take off.

4. Kevin Trenberth:

   The heat fuels storms of all sorts and contributes to very heavy rain events and flooding, the observed increases of upper( ocean heat content) support higher sea surface temperatures and atmospheric moisture, and fuel tropical storms to become more intense, bigger and longer-lasting, thereby increasing their potential for damage.

5. State Lands ' Kayli Yardley:
