Question

What type of rainfall occurs in equatorial regions and why​

Answer 1

The convectional rainfall is prevalent in equatorial regions. In these, the warm air rises up and expands then, reaches at a cooler layer and saturates, then condenses mainly in the form of cumulus or cumulonimbus clouds. In the equatorial regions, the precipitation due to convectional rainfall occurs in the afternoon.

Answer 2

Answer:

Winds from two directions meet

near the equator.The two winds

carry lot of moisture from the

surrounding oceans. When the two

winds converge at the ITCZ , it gets

heated, becomes light and so it

rises up the atmosphere. As it rises

up, the air loses heat and

condenses forming clouds.

A tropical rainforest climate is a

tropical climate usually found within

10 to 15 degrees latitude of the

equator, and has at least 60 mm (2.4

inches) of rainfall every month of the

year. Regions with this climate are

typically designated Af by the

Koppen climate classification.
