Rainfall Types. 3 Main Types There are three common types of rainfall, all of which occur in the United Kingdom. All have the common theme of air being.

Elevation It gets colder the higher in elevation you go. As air rises, it expands because of lower air pressure. As the air expands, it cools. When air.

Water in the Air When water drops form on a cold glass, the water comes from the air around the glass. Water vapor is water in the form of a gas. The amount.

Condensation. Atmospheric moisture has its most direct influence on land only when it is in its condensed form. Condensation is the direct cause of precipitation.

What is Fog? Fog is essentially a dense cloud of water droplets, or cloud, that is close to the ground. Fog forms when warm, moist air travels over a cold.
