Answer:
On the basis of their origin,rainfall may be classified into three main types:
- Convectional rainfall.
- Orographic rainfall.
- Cyclonic rainfall.
Explanation:
✅✔️ Convectional rainfall:
This type of rainfall takes place when moist air over the heated ground becomes warmer than the surrounding air and is forced to rise.
This type of rainfall is common in low latitudes and on summer days in interior part of the continents and usually come in the form of short heavy showers just after the hottest part of the day, sometimes accompanied by thunder and lightning...
✅✔️ Orographic rainfall:
This occurs when moist wind is forced to rise over a mountain or other elevation in its path...
Central part of the Deccan plateau is dry and known as rain shadow region..
✅✔️ Cyclonic rainfall:
This type of rainfall is associated with the passage of a cyclone or a depression.
Temperature cyclones occur when the cold, dry, denser air masses converge with warm, wet and lighter air masses...The warmer air, being lighter, in is lifted up by the denser cold air and result in rainfall..
