Convectional rainfall occurs in which type of area?

  1. Equatorial area

  2. Mountain resin

  3. Hilly area

  4. All of above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Convectional rainfall occurs in equatorial area. In this areas, the surface gets heated because of the sun's heat and the air near it also get heated. As it get heated, it spreads and becomes lighter and moves upwards. Condensation of the water vapour takes place and results in rainfall. In equatorial areas such type of rainfall occurs daily.
