3 types of rainfall and where each type is likely to occur?
There are three main types of rainfall, convectional rainfall, relief rainfall and frontal rainfall. Relief rainfall is when the warm moist air from the sea (Atlantic Ocean) is forced to rise over mountains and as the moist air gets higher it gets colder so it gradually condenses and becomes water droplets and it rains/ prcipitates. Relief rainfall is common along the west side of Britain where there are more high lands. Convestional rainfall is when the sun comes out and heats up the land, this causes the air around it to become warm too. The warm air currents rise and as it rises it gets colder so it gradually condenses and the water vapou become water droplets and it rains/precipitates. Convectional rainfall is mostly common around towards the south of Britain in the summer. Frontal rainfall is when cold air and warm air meet, the warm, light air wants to get past the heavy cold air so it casually rises above it. Its rising makes it get colder which makes the warm air cold air, it condenses and guess what? It rains/ precipitates! Frontal rainfall is mostly common all over Britain especially in the winter.

There is more precipitation along the coast in the pacific west than the farther land because of the convectional currents that cause convectional rainfall.
Why are most of the tropical rainforests by the equator?
Rain forests are located along the equator due to the temperatures being warm all year round. The equator also has the most amount of rainfall.
What are the three types of convectional rainfall?
The three main types of rainfall are: convectional rainfall, relief rainfall and frontal rainfall. Relief rainfall is when the warm moist air from the sea ( Atlantic Ocean) is forced to rise over mountains and as the moist air gets higher it gets colder so it gradually condenses and becomes water droplets and it rains/ prcipitates.

Convectional rainfall is mostly common around towards the south of Britain in the summer. Frontal rainfall is when cold air and warm air meet, the warm, light air wants to get past the heavy cold air so it casually rises above it. Its rising makes it get colder which makes the warm air cold air, so it condenses and becomes rain/ precipitation! Frontal rainfall is mostly common all over Britain especially in the winter.
Why do hurricanes occur mainly along the equator?
They don't. They do mainly occur in the tropics though, as they are fuel by the moisture that evaporates from tropical ocean water.
