RELIEF RAINFALL :-
Relief rainfall, also known as orographic rainfall, occurs in areas where land increases in height.
Relief rainfall is formed when the air cools as it rises over relief features in the landscape such as hills or mountains. As the air rises, it cools, condenses and forms rain.

The moisture- laden wind from the sea enters the land and moves upwards along the mountain slopes where it gets cooled and condensed to form clouds. When the windward sides of the mountain receive heavy rainfall , the leeward sides do not receive rain due to the descending dry air . This type of rainfall is known as orographic rainfall or relied rainfall .
