Clouds being forced upward by mountains and cooling causes which type of rainfall?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Orographic rainfall

Correct answer: B, orographic rainfall. Moist air moving toward a mountain cannot pass through the solid barrier at ground level, so it is forced to rise along the mountain slope. As the air rises, pressure decreases and the air expands and cools. Cooling causes water vapour to condense into clouds; continued condensation produces rain on the windward side of the mountain. A, convective rainfall, results mainly when strongly heated air rises because of surface heating. C, cyclonic rainfall, is associated with rising air in a cyclone or meeting of air masses. D, artificial rainfall refers to human attempts to stimulate precipitation, not normal mountain uplift. Memory cue: “orographic” means mountain-related rainfall.
