Rainfall related to mountains is:

  • A.Cyclonic rainfall
  • B.Monsoon rainfall
  • C.Orographic rainfall
  • D.Normal rainfall

Answer: C

Rain produced by mountains is orographic rainfall. Moist air forced to rise over a range cools as it expands, its water vapour condenses, and rain falls on the windward slope.

The descending air on the far side warms and dries, which is why a rain shadow lies behind every such range.
