Which lifting mechanism is most likely responsible for the abundance of rain in the Amazon Rainforest?
valina [46]

Answer: Convective

Explanation:

Convective Lifting is arguably the most common form of lifting and involves the heating of the Earth's surface such that surface water gets evapotranspirated from the ground and plants.

As the clouds rise, they encounter cooler temperatures and thus cool down and condense into clouds. Higher temperatures mean higher convection.

The Amazon lies on the Equator which receives the most direct sunlight so the surface gets heated a lot. Water therefore collects faster and condenses more over the Amazon which leads to more precipitation over the Rainforest.

Tamiku [17]

The correct answer is D. Air moving along lines of constant longitude

Explanation:

In geography, the word meridian refers to an imaginary line that connects the North pole and the South pole, this includes the main meridian called Prime Meridian as well as multiple longitude lines that determine East and West.

On the other hand, the meridional circulation refers to a natural phenomenon in which air and air masses move from North to South and vice-versa following longitude lines or the imaginary lines that divide the planet vertically. Additionally, the meridional circulation affects climate especially in terms of extreme weather. According to this, the meridional circulation means "Air moving along lines of constant longitude".
