    Convectional Rainfall: Name: Date

    Uploaded by

    The document describes three types of rainfall: 1) Convectional rainfall occurs when the sun heats the earth's surface, warming the air above it and causing it to rise, condense into water droplets, and fall as rain. 2) Relief rainfall occurs when warm, moist air is forced to rise over mountains or hills, cooling and condensing into clouds and precipitation. 3) Frontal rainfall occurs when two air masses, one warm and one cold, meet. The warm air rises over the cold air due to lower density and condenses into water droplets that fall as rain.
