(1)INTRODUCTION
There are five types of precipitation.
(1) Convective precipitation
(2) Orographic precipitation
(3) Cyclonic precipitation
(4) Frontal precipitation
(5) Precipitation due to turbulent ascent
(2)Convective precipitation
Convectional precipitation results from the heating of the earth's surface. The warm ground heats the air over it. As the air warms, the air molecules begin to move further apart. With increased distance between molecules, the molecules are less densely packed. Thus, the air becomes “lighter” and rises rapidly into the atmosphere. As the air rises, it cools. Water vapor in the air condenses into clouds and precipitation. This type of precipitation is common in the Prairies and Ontario. The formation of convective precipitatio
(3) Orographic precipitation It is due to the lifting of warm moisture laden air masses due to topographic barriers (such as mountains). All the precipitation we have in the Himalayan region is because of the Orographic ascent of air masses, rich in moisture content because of their long travel over oceans. The moist air masses get lifted up to higher altitude due to the pressure of mountain barrier and consequently undergo cooling, condensation and precipitation. Such a precipitation is known as orographic precipitation. In mountains ranges the windward slopes
