Rainfall Types. Convectional Rain. During summer days the earth’s surface can becomes very hot. This can cause an intense warming of the air making it very buoyant. The air rises quickly. As it does so it expands and cools. The air can no longer hold

  2. Convectional Rain • During summer days the earth’s surface can becomes very hot. • This can cause an intense warming of the air making it very buoyant. • The air rises quickly. • As it does so it expands and cools. The air can no longer hold • the moisture; condensation takes place and rain forms. • The cool air then falls and • is caught and dragged back • upward by more rising air • forming a convection cell.  Tom Abbott, Biddulph High School and made available through www.sln.org.uk/geography and only for non commercial use in schools

  3. Negative Charge Cumulonimbus cloud Positive Charge Cool air descends and replaces warm air Lightning Movement of Storm  Tom Abbott, Biddulph High School and made available through www.sln.org.uk/geography and only for non commercial use in schools

  4. Frontal Rain • A warm air mass tries to force into a cold air mass. • The warm air is lighter and less dense than the cold air and so is forced to rise over it. • As the warm air rises it expands and cools and so rain forms.  Tom Abbott, Biddulph High School and made available through www.sln.org.uk/geography and only for non commercial use in schools

  5. Warm air rises over cold air; it expands and cools, condenses, clouds and rain form Warm air This line represents the front separating warm air from cold air Cumulus cloud Rain Warm air Cool air  Tom Abbott, Biddulph High School and made available through www.sln.org.uk/geography and only for non commercial use in schools

  6. Orographic (Relief) Rain • Upland areas force the warm moist air upward, where it cools. • As the warm air rises it expands and cools, condensation takes place and rain forms. • The rain is often heavy and prolonged.  Tom Abbott, Biddulph High School and made available through www.sln.org.uk/geography and only for non commercial use in schools

  7. When the air descends the pressure on it increases; the air contracts and warms When air rises the pressure on it decreases; the expands and cools Pressure decreases Pressure increases Rain Dry wind Moist wind Little or no rain Sea  Tom Abbott, Biddulph High School and made available through www.sln.org.uk/geography and only for non commercial use in schools
