Heavy rainfall caused by intense cyclones and low-pressure areas is categorized under which class in the water cycle?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Cyclonic or frontal precipitation

Correct answer: B, cyclonic or frontal precipitation. A low-pressure system causes air to converge and rise. In a cyclone, rising moist air expands and cools, allowing water vapour to condense into clouds and precipitation. When contrasting air masses meet along a front, the warmer air is lifted over denser cooler air; this can also produce widespread frontal rainfall. Option A, convective precipitation, is mainly associated with strong local heating, rising warm air and often short, intense showers or thunderstorms. Option C is produced when moist air is forced up a mountain slope, so relief is the key cause. Option D refers to human-assisted cloud seeding and is not the natural classification described here. Memory cue: cyclone or front means large-scale uplift and cyclonic/frontal precipitation.
