How do nimbostratus rain and convective rain often differ in their areal extent?

Correct answer: Nimbostratus often gives widespread, steady rain, while convective rain can be localized and intense

Correct answer: A. Nimbostratus clouds are usually extensive layered clouds, so their precipitation often covers a broad area and may be steady. Convective rain develops from rising air in localized areas and can produce intense showers over a smaller area. These are common patterns, not rules for every event.
