________________ rainfall occurs when the energy of the sun heats the surface of the Earth, causing water to evaporate to form water vapour. When the land heats up, it warms the air above it. This causes the air to expand and rise. As the air rises, it cools and condenses.
Convectional
Frontal
Relief
Orographic
Factors affecting precipitation include...
moisture availability
water-holding capacity of the air
force of gravity near the earth surface
air-rising mechanism
High temperatures encourage (a) , which is the process by which water is transferred from the land to the atmosphere by evaporation from the soil and other surfaces and by transpiration from plants.

Equatorial Climate: temperatures are persistently __________ throughout the year, and the annual range of temperature is _________.
high, large
high, small
low, large
low, small
Near the Equator, surface convergence of westerlies leads to strong convection, which forms dense clouds and torrential showers. As a result, there is rainfall all year round.
True
False
The seasonal rainfall pattern of tropical climate is mainly caused by the shifting of the (a) (abbreviation) following the overhead sun.
Arid climate is caused by the __________________ of air associated with ___________ pressure belts, along with ___________ distances from the sea.
rising, low, short
rising, high, short
subsidence, low, long
subsidence, high, long
Temperate grasslands such as Prairie in North America, Steppe in Eurasia and Pampas in South America are examples of vegetation that are common in __________- latitudes.
low
mid
high
In the coastal regions, temperatures and rainfall are not regulated by oceans.
True
False
Temperate ______________ forests are mainly dominated by broadleaved trees that have their leaves changed in colour in autumn, and lose their leaves in winter every year.
coniferous
deciduous
evergreen
Which THREE of the following best describes the Mediterranean Climate?
In summer, the subtropical high shifts polewards. Air descends and brings stable weather.
In winter, the subpolar low and subtropical high shifts towards the equator. Under westerlies, relief and frontal rain are common.
Precipitation mainly falls in winter.
Both the annual mean temperature and the annual range of temperature are high.
With long, dark and severe winters in Tundra, the subsoil is permanently frozen and is known as (a) .
The (a) slope of a high mountain is arid because air sinks on this slope, resulting in a rain shadow with little rainfall.
Condensation occurs when the air is cooled to (a) point.
Precipitation increases with ____________ distance from the sea.
increasing
decreasing
Places with ____________ prevailing winds have little or scare rainfall throughout the year.
onshore
offshore
Air tends to ___________ in low-pressure areas.
rise
sink
Select all the low pressure belts:
Equatorial
Subtropical
Subpolar
Polar
Deserts along the ___________ coasts of continents are often colder than those at similar latitudes, and they are humid with fog or low clouds due to the effects of cold currents.
east
west
north
south
