The type of rainfall shown in the diagram above is: Conventional rainfall Relief rainfall Frontal / cyclonic rainfall - Junior Cycle Geography - Question 3 - 2010

The diagram illustrates Relief rainfall. This type of rainfall occurs when moist air is forced to rise over a mountain or hill. As the wind blows, the air is lifted, causing it to cool and condense, leading to precipitation on the windward side of the mountain. The region on the leeward side often experiences significantly less rain, creating a rain shadow effect.
