Answer:

3.A convection current is a process that involves the movement of energy from one place to another. It is also called to as convection heat transfer.
4.The types of rainfall based on intensity can be classified as: Light rain – Rate of rain varies between 0 to 2.5 millimetres. Moderate rain – Rate of rain varies between 2.6 millimetres to 7.6 millimetres. Heavy rain – Rate of rain is beyond 7.6 millimetres.
short questions.
1.the amount of water vapour present in air expressed as a percentage of the amount needed for saturation at the same temperature.
2.A changing climate thus affects the prerequisites of population health: clean air and water, sufficient food, natural constraints on infectious disease agents, and the adequacy and security of shelter. A warmer and more variable climate leads to higher levels of some air pollutants.
3.Whereas weather refers to short-term changes in the atmosphere, climate describes what the weather is like over a long period of time in a specific area.
