Answer 2

$Question$ :-

• define oroghapic rainfall ?

$Answer$ :-

→ Orographic rainfall ?

Orography is the study of the topographic relief of mountains, and can more broadly include hills, and any part of a region's elevated terrain. Orography falls within the broader discipline of geomorphology.

→Causes of orographic rainfall ?

When mountains of uplands act as barriers to air flow, forcing the air to ascend, moist air moving upslope cools adiabatically, producing clouds and precipitation.

→orographic rainfall effects on climate ?

The orographic effect occurs when air masses are forced to flow over high topography. As air rises over mountains, it cools and water vapor condenses. As a result, it is common for rain to be concentrated on the windward side of mountains, and for rainfall to increase with elevation in the direction of storm tracks.
