Question

Describe the physical process for how precipitation forms in non-tropical regions. Start with warm moist air rising. Also, describe the three different mechanisms that foster the formation of precipitation.

please help me answer this question.

Answer 1

The weather of the non tropical region is cold winter and hot summer. In the hot summer days, the waterbodies become too much hot and the evaporation occurs.The warm moist air from the waterbodies starts to rise in upper direction to become cold. In the upper region, the warm moist air becomes cold and condensation occurs. Due to condense of moist air, it is saturated and start to forming small droplets of water, which add with each other to form enough big droplets of water which fall due to gravity as a precipitation .

✓✓ Mechanisms that foster the formation of precipitation: For occuring the precipitation, it is very important to lift the coluds to the upper region for saturation of the clouds. The three mechanisms of lifting of the clouds are:

i) Orographic lifting: in this process, water is forced to go over mountains

ii) Frontal Surface Lifting: in this process, warmer air is forced to above cooler air

iii) Convective lifting: in this process, warmer air rises progressively and slowly colols down.
