Precipitation
•Precipitation is any form of water that falls to the Earth's surface.
![Page 2: Types of Rain](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062316/58783f661a28ab707b8b62d9/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Types of Precipitation•The type of precipitation that falls to the ground depends upon the formation process and the temperatures of the environment between the cloud and the surface

different types of precipitation?
•Rain•Snow•Hail•Sleet
•Freezing Rain

Rain• Rain develops when growing cloud droplets become too heavy to
remain in the cloud and as a result, fall toward
the surface as rain

•Rain can also begin as ice crystals that collect each other to form large snowflakes
•As the falling snow passes through the freezing level into warmer air, the flakes melt

Rain from snow!

Snow•Snow is formed when ice crystals form from water vapor that is in the clouds directly above your heads!
•This process is called sublimation
![Page 8: Types of Rain](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062316/58783f661a28ab707b8b62d9/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Hail• Hail is formed
when updrafts carry raindrops upwards into extremely cold areas of the atmosphere
![Page 10: Types of Rain](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062316/58783f661a28ab707b8b62d9/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Hail• There the
raindrops merge and freeze. When the frozen clumps get to heavy they fall to earth
![Page 11: Types of Rain](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062316/58783f661a28ab707b8b62d9/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Hail•Hail can vary
in size, from the size of a small stone to that of a baseball! So be careful
![Page 12: Types of Rain](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062316/58783f661a28ab707b8b62d9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Sleet•Sleet is frozen raindrops. Sleet begins as rain or snow and falls through a deep layer of cold air that contains temperatures below freezing that exist near the surface.
![Page 13: Types of Rain](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062316/58783f661a28ab707b8b62d9/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Sleet•Rain that falls
through this extremely cold layer has time to freeze into small pieces of ice
![Page 14: Types of Rain](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062316/58783f661a28ab707b8b62d9/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Freezing Rain•Freezing rain is falling rain
that cools below 0°C, but does not turn to ice in the air
•The water is “supercooled”
![Page 15: Types of Rain](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062316/58783f661a28ab707b8b62d9/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Types of rainfall
What are the different types of rain and where do they happen?
![Page 16: Types of Rain](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062316/58783f661a28ab707b8b62d9/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
How it rains1. Warm air rises2. Air cools3. Condensation4. Clouds form5. Rain
![Page 17: Types of Rain](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062316/58783f661a28ab707b8b62d9/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Types of rainfallThere are three types of rainfall:
1. Relief or Topographic
2. Convectional3. Frontal
![Page 18: Types of Rain](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062316/58783f661a28ab707b8b62d9/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
1. Relief Rain
2. Forced to rise over the mountains
1. Warm moist air from the sea
![Page 19: Types of Rain](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062316/58783f661a28ab707b8b62d9/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
3. Air cools as it is forced to rise
4. Condensation5. Clouds form6. Rain
![Page 20: Types of Rain](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062316/58783f661a28ab707b8b62d9/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Relief rain is quite common in Western Ghat where the high land areas are
![Page 21: Types of Rain](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062316/58783f661a28ab707b8b62d9/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
2. Convectional Rain1. The sun
heats the ground which heats the air
2. Warm air rises
![Page 22: Types of Rain](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062316/58783f661a28ab707b8b62d9/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
4. Air cools as it is forced to rise
5. Condensation6. Clouds form7. Rain
![Page 23: Types of Rain](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062316/58783f661a28ab707b8b62d9/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Convectional rain is common in the Rajasthan and Plain areas of India in Summer
It is also common in Equatorial region of the world along equatorial low pressure belt rgion everyday between 2 to 4 pm
![Page 24: Types of Rain](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062316/58783f661a28ab707b8b62d9/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Convectional Rainfall

3. Frontal Rain or Cyclonic1. Mass of warm air meets
a mass of colder air2. Lighter warm air rises over heavier cold air in the temperate region along Warm and Cold front
![Page 26: Types of Rain](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062316/58783f661a28ab707b8b62d9/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
3. Warm air cools
4. Condensation
5. Clouds form
6. Rain

Frontal rain is very common all Temperate regions of the world
