Which type of rainfall may often be seen in equatorial regions in the afternoon?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Convectional rainfall

The correct answer is B, convectional rainfall. Equatorial regions receive strong solar heating throughout the year. During the day, the land and the air near it become warm. Warm, moist air is lighter, so it rises. As it rises, air pressure decreases and the air expands and cools. Cooling causes water vapour to condense into clouds; continued uplift can produce heavy showers, often in the afternoon. A is orographic rainfall, which requires moist air to be forced over a mountain. C is snowfall and requires sufficiently cold conditions, while D is not a normal type of rainfall and frost forms as a surface deposit rather than afternoon rain. Memory cue: intense afternoon heating plus rising moist air means convectional rain.
