Why is convectional rainfall very common in tropical areas?
The large amount of heat the tropics get from the sun often causes the atmosphere to be come convectively unstable, causing frequent thunderstorms.
How do geographers use the theme of regions to organize information about the Earth?
to see if two regions have something in common
What is the word for 'areas that share common characteristics'?
Regions
What would two regions with the same climate have in common?
two regions with the same climate usually have the same line of latitude
Where does fire tornadoes occur most?
Firewhirls are most common in semiarid regions where intense fires are common.
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. 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.

What are 3 common types of precipitation form?
The four types of precipitation are rain, snow, sleet, and hail. OR: orographic, cyclonic/frontal, convectional rainfall
Which rainfall is known as the 4 o'clock rainfall?
Convectional Rain:This type of rain is common in the hot and wet tropical rain forests of central Africa, Amazon basin of South America and the islands of south-east Asia. Continuous heating of the earth in the day causes hot convectional currents to raise Water keeps on evaporating and rising up. On reaching the upper layers of the atmosphere they cool, condense and from cumulonimbus clouds. In the late afternoon the clouds burst into a heavy downpour, often accompanied by thunder and lighting. It usual occurs at about 4 pm, so convectional rain is called 'four o'clock rain' and occurs daily in the equatorial regions.
What is the explanation for the three types of 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. 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.
What type of rain is the most common?
it is Convectional rain
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.
What do rainforests and deserts not have in common?
Rainforests have huge amounts of rain. Deserts are defined as regions that receive little annual rainfall.
How is the middle east and Africa the same?
They are two regions that are often grouped together because they have things in common. Islam is the dominat religion and almost everyone speaks Arabic. Most of both regions is a besert with very little rainfall but have many expectations.
Why relief rainfall is more common in India and why?
in india most of the rainfall is relief rainfall
How much rain does the Amazon River get in a year?
It rains every day, at very regular intervals, starting and ending very suddenly. This is called "convectional rainfall", a term which describes how the rainfall comes about, because the sun heats the ground, which heats the air nearest the ground causing it to expand and rise, and then, when it reaches a certain height, condenses to form clouds and finally falling as rain. It is very common to have storms with this kind of convectional rainfall. This amount if rainfall is needed for support the delicate ecosystem of the rainforest.
What climate do platypuses like?
Platypuses can live in a variety of climates, from sub-alpine temperatures in Tasmania to tropical rainforests of north Queensland. One thing platypus regions have in common is that they are moist, with plentiful rainfall.
