Q131
Which of the following is wrongly matched?
A.
Rainfall caused by mountain standing in the way of moisture - laden winds - relief rainfall
B.
Rain caused by vertical circulation of air currents - orographic rainfall
AnswerC.
Rain caused by a warm moist air mass moving upward over cold air mass - cyclonic rainfall
D.
An area sheltered from rain bearing winds by a hill - rain shadow area
Answer: Option B
Solution
Answer: Option B
Solution:
Rain caused by vertical circulation of air currents - orographic rainfall is wrongly matched. Orographic precipitation, rain, snow, or other precipitation produced when moist air is lifted as it moves over a mountain range. As the air rises and cools, orographic clouds form and serve as the source of the precipitation, most of which falls upwind of the mountain ridge.
