Practice questions
What will be the main challenge for rainfed farming on a leeward slope?Which is the most scientific sequence of precipitation from clouds?Why is the presence of a rain cloud not a certain guarantee of rainfall?In which condition can cyclonic rainfall continue for a longer duration?When ice crystals and supercooled water droplets coexist in a mixed cloud which process can help precipitation form?If surface air has high relative humidity why can the cloud base generally form lower?If the rising air inside a cloud becomes very weak what effect will it have on heavy rainfall formation?If two clouds have the same water amount but one has many very small droplets where is immediate rainfall less likely?In orographic rainfall if the air has already become dry why will rainfall remain limited even with greater height?In which condition can falling snow from a cloud reach the ground as a mixed form of rain and snow?If droplets move up and down many times in a cumulonimbus cloud why can hailstone size increase?If precipitation drops are large but strong upward motion exists in air why can their fall be delayed?If cloud droplets are very small but condensation continues why is precipitation not immediately necessary?Why does rapid uplift of warm moist air increase the chance of cumulonimbus formation?If the leeward slope becomes dry after rain on the windward slope what is the main reason?Why can warm air rising over cold air cause cyclonic rainfall?If drops falling from a cloud evaporate before reaching the ground how should it be understood?Why can droplets remain small when condensation nuclei are very numerous?What can be the main reason for hailstones becoming large in cumulonimbus clouds?If ice crystals form aloft and pass through a warm lower air layer what precipitation form can reach the ground?
