Five Charateristics of Releif rainfall​

Geography
2 answers:
DENIUS [597]3 years ago

Answer:

Relief rainfall, also known as orographic rainfall, occurs in areas where land increases in height. It is very common on the west coast of the United Kingdom due to the prevailing weather coming from that direction.

Relief rainfall is formed when the air cools as it rises over relief features in the landscape such as hills or mountains. As the air rises, it cools, condenses and forms rain.

In the UK prevailing winds from the west lead to air rising over upland areas such as the Pennines. As the result of this rainfall totals of over 1,600 mm per year occur in the west of the UK. The downwind or leeward slope receives a small amount of rainfall in comparison.

Answer:

  • It is also called orographic rainfall
  • It consists of two sides of a mountain each having its name
  • The side with the rainfall is called windward side and the side without rainfall is called lee ward side

The reason why there is rain on only one side is because when clouds move from one side of the mountain to the other side, the cloud is very heavy, so it showers off on the side of the mountain which it is on (windward side) and very less water is left to shower off on the other side (leeward side)

Are all forms of segregation negative? Is affinity segregation helpful or harmful to an ethnic group? Explain your position.
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

Segregation between races is wrong, but can sometimes be a good thing. Allow me to explain:

Explanation:

During the Jim Crow era a lot of white people would use hate speech and just be mean to African Americans all the time. By keeping them separate, African Americans wouldn’t be harassed by them. However there shouldn’t be segregation because people shouldn’t be practicing hate speech. Segregation wouldn’t be tackling the problem, it would be deflecting it.
