What is rainfall caused by warm air rising and cooling down called?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Convective rain

Convective rainfall occurs when the surface of the land becomes strongly heated. The air touching the warm surface also becomes warm, expands, and becomes less dense. It then rises upward. As this rising air reaches higher, cooler levels of the atmosphere, it loses heat. Water vapour condenses into clouds, and continued uplift can produce heavy showers, often with thunder and lightning.

Therefore, option B, convective rain, is correct. Orographic rain occurs when moist air is forced to rise over a mountain or highland. Cyclonic rain is associated with the lifting of air in a low-pressure system or cyclone. Artificial rain is a human attempt to stimulate precipitation and is not the ordinary natural process described here. The key clue is warm air rising because of surface heating.
