  1. Using Fig. 1, explain the formation of relief rain.                                                    [4]

  • The sun heats up water from the ocean


  • Wind from the sea blows inland, and when wind comes in contact with mountain range, they are forced to rise


  • As the air rises up the highlands, it cools. Condensation takes place and relief rain                     falls on the windward side.
  • By the time air moves over the highland, it has almost lost its moisture.                                           The leeward side has little or no rain.
