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 are the 3 types of convergence?

The three types of convergence are convergent boundary, divergent boundary, and transform boundary. Convergent boundaries occur when tectonic plates collide, divergent boundaries occur when tectonic plates move away from each other, and transform boundaries occur when tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally.

If each month in Reno had the same average rainfall as in august what would the total number of millimeters be after 12 months?

To calculate the total rainfall for 12 months in Reno if each month had the same average rainfall as in August, you would first need to determine the average rainfall in August. Let's assume the average rainfall in August is 10mm. Then, you would multiply this by 12 (the number of months) to get the total rainfall. Therefore, the total rainfall for 12 months with 10mm average rainfall each month would be 120mm.

Does the Doppler effect occur for only some types of waves or all types of waves?

The Doppler effect can occur for all types of waves, including sound waves, light waves, and water waves. It describes the change in frequency or wavelength of a wave as the source or observer is in motion relative to each other.


Where are earthquakes most likely to occer?

earthquakes are most likely to occur at the boundaries of tectonic plates. Especially at transform or convergent boundaries where the two plates are being forced to slide past each other or against each other.


When plates slide past each other at a transform boundary geological processes is most likely to occur?

An earthquake will most likely occur because the techtonic plates below the earth's surface are grinding past one another causing severe shaking.


Which type of graph would you compare the amount of rainfall each month for one year?

A bar graph would be ideal for comparing the amount of rainfall each month for one year as it allows for a clear visualization of the differences in rainfall between each month.
