Water vapor or moist air rising over a mountain will cool and precipitate as rainfall.
As water vapor, or moist air approaches a mountain, it will rise because the mountains are in the way. The higher you go up a mountain the colder it becomes. Because of the colder temperature up the mountain, the moist air will cool down to reach what is known as its dew point. The moisture in that air then condenses into clouds and eventually, rain. This is why the heaviest rain occurs on the windward slope of a mountain.
The way to tell them apart from each other lies in the speed of the wind. When the speed of the wind is between 39 mph to 73 mph, the tropical depression developed (low pressured areas in the ocean that have the power to grow stronger) is classified as a tropical storm. Hurricanes are more intense and are formed over oceans with the wind speed reaching at least 74 mph. Hurricanes also have a noticeable eye in the center of the storm and tropical storms don't have any at all. Basically, a hurricane is a more intense version of a tropical storm that appear to be smaller compared to a tropical storm.
Hope I answered this correctly and hope it helps! :)
The elevation on Earth tells how hot or cold is it gonna be. Hence, as the elevation on Earth increases the temperature continues to be colder while as the elevation decreases the temperature continues to get warmer
