- Precipitation is the process where the local air becomes saturated with vapor and it starts to pour as it no longer can maintain the water vapor in the gaseous form.
- There are various types of precipitation – Liquid, Freezing, and Frozen.
- "Rainfall can be defined as the precipitation in the liquid form".
- There are various types of rainfall based on the origin which are mentioned below.
Rainfall has been classified into three main types based on the origin
- Convectional rainfall
- Orographic or relief rainfall
- Cyclonic or frontal rainfall
Convectional Rainfall:
The air heats & the lighter air rises up in convection currents,now as the air rises it expands and temperature drops and clouds fall due to condensation, rains are accompanied with heavy shower and thunder & lightning that dont last long.
Ornographic Rainfall:
When the saturated air mass comes across a mountain, it is forced to rise.The rising air expands, eventually, the temperature falls, and the moisture gets condensed.
Cyclonic Rainfall:
Cyclonic activity causes cyclonic rain and it occurs along the fronts of the cyclone. When two masses of air of unlike density, temperature, and humidity meet then it is formed.
