When air rises after striking a mountain and causes rain, what type of rainfall is it?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Orographic rainfall

Correct answer: B, orographic rainfall. Moist air moving toward a mountain is forced to rise along the windward slope. As it rises, it expands, cools, and reaches saturation; condensation then produces clouds and rain. This rainfall is called orographic, relief, or mountain rainfall because the relief of the land causes the uplift. The descending air on the leeward side is generally drier and may create a rain-shadow region. Convectional rainfall is mainly caused by strong surface heating and rising warm air, not by a mountain barrier. Cyclonic rainfall is associated with low-pressure systems and converging air. Artificial rainfall refers to human attempts to influence precipitation, not ordinary mountain uplift. Memory cue: “Mountain barrier means orographic rainfall.”
