Types of Rain

Rain is a kind of precipitation with varying types. Relief rain usually happens along coastal areas. When the air temperature falls to its dew point, water vapor will condense to form clouds which, when full, the relief rain begins to fall. It is very dense and cold. Convectional rain is found in hot and wet places. When the temperature of the rising air falls to the dew point the water vapor shrinks into thick clouds and forms convection rain. Frontal rain is when a cold front meets a warm front. The less dense warm air rises and condenses forming the clouds that will get heavier and release rain. Lastly is the convectional rain which is when the water from the ground is evaporated. The water vapor rises, cools and condenses at dew point. Again, clouds form and the rain falls.
