What is the explanation for the three types of rainfall?

Answer 1

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. Relief rainfall is common along the west side of Britain where there are more high lands.

Convectional 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, so it condenses and becomes rain/ precipitation! Frontal rainfall is mostly common all over Britain especially in the winter.
