In which rainfall does a mountain act as a natural barrier?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Orographic rainfall

The correct answer is C, orographic rainfall, also called relief or mountain rainfall. When moist air moves toward a mountain, the mountain forms a natural barrier and forces the air to rise along its slope. Rising air expands and cools; water vapour then condenses into clouds and may produce rain on the windward side. The descending air on the leeward side is generally drier, creating a rain-shadow effect. A is caused mainly by pressure systems and fronts, not specifically by a mountain barrier. B results from surface heating and convection. D describes the intensity and size of precipitation drops, not the mountain-forcing mechanism. Memory cue: mountain barrier and forced uplift point to orographic rainfall.
