The main types of rainfall are convective, frontal, orographic, and cyclonic. Convective rainfall occurs when warm air rises and cools, leading to condensation and precipitation. Frontal rainfall happens when two air masses with different temperatures meet, causing the warm air to rise and cool. Orographic rainfall occurs when moist air is forced to rise over a mountain range, cooling and creating precipitation. Cyclonic rainfall results from the convergence of air masses around a low-pressure system, leading to widespread precipitation.
1. Cyclonic rainfall. 2. Orographic rainfall. 3. Convectional rainfall. and 4. Induced rainfall.
Convectional and orographic are types of rainfall. Convectional rainfall occurs when the ground is heated, causing warm air to rise and form cumulonimbus clouds that can result in localized heavy downpours. Orographic rainfall happens when moist air is forced to rise over mountain ranges, leading to cooling, condensation, and precipitation on the windward side of the mountains.
Soil types are more closely related to rainfall, as moisture levels and water availability play a significant role in the development and composition of soils. However, temperature also influences soil formation processes, such as the rate of organic matter decomposition and chemical weathering.
The average annual rainfall in Washington, D.C. is around 40 inches.
