    Types of Rainfall

    Uploaded by

    There are three main types of rainfall: 1) Convectional rainfall forms due to uneven heating of the land and usually occurs in the tropics and subtropics. 2) Relief rainfall forms when warm, moist air is forced to rise over high ground and typically affects mountainous areas. 3) Frontal rainfall occurs when warm and cold air masses meet, with the warm air forced to rise over the cold air along the front, causing clouds and precipitation to form. Frontal rainfall commonly affects temperate latitudes.

    1. When a warm air mass meets a air mass,
    they do not mix as they have different densities.
    2. The warm, less dense air is forced to over
    the cold, dense air. This is called a front.
    3. The warm air and the water vapour
    condenses into clouds and .
