<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 84.0pt; tab-stops: 109.5pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Four types of precipitation have occurred on the earth. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">               (1) Orographic precipitation-
Warm, humid air masses move horizontally form coastal areas to nearby
mountains. With clashing of air mass with mountains, air masses are started to
rise by uplift forces. Warm air masses are getting cool with increasing height because the temperature is decreased with increasing height. After the saturation of air, additional water vapors are tended to condense because cool
air cannot hold water vapors as much as hot air. Therefore clouds are formed after
saturation. Precipitation has occurred.   <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">(2) Convectional
precipitation-When the land surface heat, above the air, is heated by land. As air
heat, the air began to move further. With the distance between molecules
increases, they are less densely packed. The air becomes lighter and expands.
Air masses get cooling. After saturation, additional water vapors are condensed
and clouds are formed. Precipitation has occurred. </span></div>
