Convectional rainfall occurs as a result of one of the three mechanisms that produce rain. When a fluid, such as air, is warmed from the bottom, for instance by earth warmed by sunlight, the lighter air rises drawing cooler air in underneath it. This sets up a so-called convectional flow. If the air near the ground is moist then when the it rises it will form clouds whose droplets coalesce to form convectional rain.
What else can I help you with?
What is a basal drag?
It is a force that could be contributing or complementing mantle convectional currents in the movements of lithospheric or tectonic plates. This force is generated when there is friction between convectional currents and the lithospheric or tectonic plate that lies above.
The long-term weather conditions in an area is referred to as the?
climate
What is water that returns to earth in liquid or solid form?
Rain, hail and snow are all forms of precipitation.
What is a term for no precipitation?
Virga is rain that does not reach the earth. Droughts are extended periods with no precipitation.
How is precipitation measured?
Inches
What type of precipitation is there in thunder?
Convectional Precipitation
What climate is convectional precipitation in?
Tropical
What part of Canada does convectional precipitation mainly occur?
interior plains
What type of precipitation is caused by air being heated at the surface of the earth?
Convectional precipitation is the type of precipitation caused by air being heated at the surface of the earth. Convectional precipitation can fall anywhere on earth.
The earths precipitation occurs as convectional orographic or?
The Earth's precipitation occurs through convectional, orographic, or frontal mechanisms. Convectional precipitation happens when warm air rises, cools, and forms clouds. Orographic precipitation occurs when moist air is forced to rise over a mountain, leading to cooling and rainfall. Finally, frontal precipitation happens at the boundary of two air masses with different temperatures and moisture levels, causing the warm air to rise and condense into precipitation.
Why is there more precipitation along the coast in the pacific west than farther inland?
There is more precipitation along the coast in the pacific west than the farther land because of the convectional currents that cause convectional rainfall.
What is step 2 of convectional rainfall?
As the air rises, it cools and condenses. Clouds form and precipitation occurs.
What causes convectional precipitation and storms?
Convectional precipitation and storms are caused by the heating of the Earth's surface, which warms the air above it. As the air warms, it becomes less dense and rises, creating uplifting motions that lead to the formation of clouds and eventually precipitation. This process is known as convection, and when it intensifies, it can lead to the development of thunderstorms.
What is relief convectional?
Relief convectional refers to a type of rainfall that occurs when moist air is forced to rise over a barrier such as a mountain range, leading to cooling and condensation. This process forms clouds and eventually results in precipitation on the windward side of the barrier.
What are convectional and non convectional methods of speed control of a induction motor?
The flux control method is the convectional and the non-convectional method of speed control of an induction motor.
Convectional and orographic are?
Convectional and orographic are types of rainfall. Convectional rainfall occurs when the ground is heated, causing warm air to rise and form cumulonimbus clouds that can result in localized heavy downpours. Orographic rainfall happens when moist air is forced to rise over mountain ranges, leading to cooling, condensation, and precipitation on the windward side of the mountains.
What is convectional current science?
Convectional currents would be a topic in fluid flows
