This was a very popular question among the candidates and most of those who answered the question did well. Such candidates were able to name two types of rainfall correctly, stated the region where each of the two types of rainfall is prevalent and gave correct explanation on the types of rainfall. A few, however, were unable to state that:
(i) convectional rainfall occurs mainly in the tropical regions
(ii) frontal rainfall occurs mainly in temperate regions
(iii) relief or orographic rainfall occurs in highland regions.
