Types of Weather: Rain

The video explains the importance of rain and how it forms from clouds. It describes the process of water vapor condensing around dust particles to form raindrops. Three types of rainfall are discussed: convectional, frontal, and relief. Convectional rainfall occurs in hot weather, frontal rainfall happens when warm and cold air masses meet, and relief rainfall occurs near coasts where moist air is pushed upwards by mountains. Rainfall is essential for sustaining life on Earth.

What are clouds primarily composed of?

• Solid ice crystals

• Liquid droplets or crystals of water

• Dust particles

• Gaseous oxygen

How do water molecules form raindrops?

• By evaporating into the air

• By condensing around dust and pollen particles

• By freezing in the atmosphere

• By splitting into hydrogen and oxygen

What triggers convectional rainfall?

• Cold air meeting warm air

• Clouds forming over the ocean

• Moist air rising over mountains

• The sun heating the ground

Which type of rainfall occurs when warm air is forced to rise over cold air?

• Frontal rainfall

• Tropical rainfall

• Convectional rainfall

• Relief rainfall

Why is rainfall crucial for our planet?

• It prevents air pollution

• It sustains life by providing water

• It creates new landforms

• It cools the Earth's surface
