Q: Rainfall caused by intense evaporation in equatorial areas is called-------
  • A. Orographi rainfall
  • B. Cyclonic rainfall
  • C. Frontal rainfall
  • D. Convectional rainfall
Correct Answer: Option D - In the equatorial region due to excess radiation the convectional rainfall occurs. In the convectional rainfall following process occurs. ● The surface of the earth is heated by the sun. ● The warm surface heats the air above it. The hot air always rises so this nearly heated air does so. ● As it risen the air cools and begins to condensate. ● Frontal rainfall and cooling causes a large amount of condensation to occur and rain is formed.
