Question

How different types of rainfall are caused

Answer 1

Answer:

As the air rises it starts to condense and cumulonimbus clouds are formed. Water droplets accumulate and rain falls due to gravity. Frontal Rainfall - This type of rainfall occurs when a warm air mass and a cold air mass meet. Warm air (which is less dense) is forced to rise over the cold (more dense) air.

➡ Relief Rainfall- It is also called orographic rainfall. It occurs when prevailing winds pick up moisture from the sea as they travel across it, making the air moist. The moist air reaches the coast and is forced to rise over hills and mountains. This causes air to cool and condense, so clouds are formed. As air continues to be forced over mountains, its moisture drops as relief rain.

➡Convenctional Rainfall- This type of rain is very common in areas where the ground is heated by the sun. The process starts when the sun heats the ground. The hot surface heats up the air near it causing it to rise. As the air rises it starts to condense and cumulonimbus clouds are formed. Water droplets accumulate and rain falls due to gravity.

➡Frontal Rainfall - This type of rainfall occurs when a warm air mass and a cold air mass meet. Warm air (which is less dense) is forced to rise over the cold (more dense) air. This causes warm air to cool down and condense forming clouds as well as rain.
