Question

Explain 5 characteristics of convectional rainfall.

Answer 1

• The air on getting heated becomes light and rises in convection currents.
• As the air rises, it expands and drops the temperature and subsequently, condensation takes place and cumulus clouds are formed.
• Heavy rainfall with lightning and thunder takes place which does not last long.
• Such rain is usually in the summer or the hotter part of the day.
• This type of rainfall generally takes place in the equatorial regions and internal parts of the continents, predominantly in the northern hemisphere.

• This rainfall is usually associated with hails

Answer 2

Five Characterstics of Conventional Rainfall:

1. Conventional rainfall is precipitation that falls from clouds in the Earth's atmosphere and reaches the ground.
2. It is caused by the condensation of water vapor in the atmosphere.
3. It is typically measured in units of length, such as millimeters or inches.
4. Conventional rainfall can vary greatly in intensity, from light drizzle to heavy downpours.
5. It is a major component of the water cycle and plays a crucial role in the Earth's ecosystem and weather patterns
