Question

Explain relief rainfall.

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Relief rainfall occurs when warm moist air rises over mountains from the Atlantic Ocean. It cools and condenses as the warm air rises, to form clouds, which carry rain. It descends and warms until the air has passed over the mountains. That's why it is called Relief rainfall.

Answer 2

Relief rainfall occurs when warm moist air from the Atlantic Ocean rises up over mountains. When the warm air rises, it cools and condenses to form clouds, which bring rain. Once the air has passed over the mountains, it descends and warms. This creates drier conditions known as a rain shadow .
