Answer 1

Answer:

Convectional precipitation

Explanation:

Convectional precipitation is a type of precipitation that occurs in the low latitudes.

The low latitudes are typically the tropical belt of the world which straddles the equator.

• During convectional precipitation, high amount of solar insolation rapidly heats the ground evaporating surface water to form rain clouds.

Orographic precipitation occurs in high altitude regions. The peaks causes the formation of rain clouds which leads to a mountain have a windward and leeward sides.

Frontal precipitation occurs at the point of convergence of two air masses, one warm and the other cold.

So, convectional precipitation is the appropriate choice here.
