Types of Rainfall

In some countries, it rains all the time, which plays a major role in the growth of grass and crops. As we can see that Ireland is such a green country because of heavy rain there. Rain is essential for life and the main source of water would which we cannot survive. Definitely we need rain for the growing of crops and grass and also all the lakes and rivers need it. In this topic, we will come to know about the water cycle, about the different types of rainfall as well as clouds. 6 Solved Question on Types of Rain Water Cycle Water moves from the rivers and streams all the way up to the sky and there forming clouds. Also, water moves from sea to sky. All these are the part of the water cycle or hydrological cycle. This cycle makes water move from sea to sky and sky to river. Without it, we cannot have streams, lakes not even sea. Therefore without this cycle, it will not be possible for humans or animals to survive at all. Here are some stages of this cycle: • The cycle begins at sea, where water is warmed by the sun. This causes the evaporation of seawater. Thus seawater turns to water vapor and then steam. This vapor rises as hot air tend to be light. • With the height, water vapor becomes cooler. This cooling causes the water vapor to condense as it cannot store water droplets. • When the vapor condenses, clouds are formed. This cloud receives more and more vapor until it cannot store any more. After saturation of the cloud precipitation starts. • Based on the temperat...

There are 3 main types of rainfall: relief, frontal and convectional

Relief rainfall • Relief rainfall occurs when air has been blown over the sea and is then forced up over an area of high land. • This causes the air to cool and the moisture in the air condenses and rain falls. Frontal rainfall • Frontal rainfall occurs when warm air is forced to rise over cold air. • The moisture in the warm air condenses as it cools which causes clouds and rain. Convectional rainfall • Occurs mostly in tropics where it is hot. • When air is hot is rises and cools and condenses forming rain. • If the air is hot enough, it rises very quickly and can cause thunderstorms.

Rain, Snow, Sleet, and Other Types of Precipitation

Some people find precipitation an intimidatingly long word, but it simply means any particle of water—liquid or solid—that originates in the hydrometeor, which also includes clouds. There are only so many forms water can take, so there are a limited number of precipitation types. The main types include: Sungmoon Han/EyeEm/Getty Images While we tend to think of snow and ice as two different things, snow is actually millions of tiny ice crystals that collect and form into flakes, which we know as For snow to fall outside your window, air temperatures above the surface must be below freezing (32 F). It can be slightly above freezing in some pockets and still snow as long as the temperature isn't substantially above the freezing mark and doesn't stay above it for very long, or the snowflakes will melt. Graupel appears white like snow, but more ragged than hailstones. hazel proudlove/E+/Getty Images If supercooled water droplets freeze onto falling snowflakes, you get what's called "graupel." When this happens, the snow crystal loses its identifiable six-sided shape and instead becomes a clump of snow and ice. Graupel, also known as "snow pellets" or "soft hail," is white, like snow. If you press it between your fingers, it will usually crush and break apart into granules. When it falls, it bounces like sleet does. Sean Gladwell / Getty Images If a snowflake partially melts but then refreezes, you get sleet. Sleet forms when a thin layer of above-freezing air is sandwiched betw...

Tropical climate is the first of the five major climate groups in the A. Tropical climates are defined by a monthly average temperature of 18°C (64.4°F) or higher in the coolest month, and feature hot temperatures all year-round. Annual precipitation is often abundant in tropical climates, and shows a seasonal rhythm but may have seasonal dryness to varying degrees. There are normally only two seasons in tropical climates, a wet (rainy / There are three basic types of tropical climates within the tropical climate group: Af), Am) and Aw for dry winters, and As for dry summers), which are classified and distinguished by the precipitation and the precipitation levels of the driest month in those regions.
