hello aspirant,
here is the defination of convectional rainfall:It occurs when the energy of the sun heats the surface of the Earth, causing water to evaporate to form water vapour. When the land heats up, it warms the air above it. This causes the air to expand and rise. As the air rises, it cools and condenses.
hope this helps,
thankyou.
