After a storm, the forest smells fresh because rain helps tiny plants and soil release their special smell. Think of it like when you step on wet grass, it feels good and smells nice too! Rain also helps animals and bugs wake up from hiding, adding to the exciting smell.
Examples
- Rain wakes up little bugs that live in the dirt, making the air smell like fresh mud.
- Crushing a wet leaf between your hands gives off the same smell as after a storm.
- After a rainstorm, the grass feels softer and smells more alive.
