Key Topics to Revise

1

Humidity - Meaning and Types

  • Water exists in three states in the atmosphere: solid (ice), liquid (water), and gas (water vapour)
  • Humidity percentage varies from 0% in cold dry air to 5% in hot equatorial regions
  • Temperature is the most important factor affecting humidity - warmer air can hold more moisture
2

Condensation and Its Forms

  • Condensation occurs when water vapour changes to liquid or solid state
  • Requires air to be cooled below dew point temperature
  • Process depends on relative humidity and rate of cooling
3

Precipitation and Its Forms

  • Precipitation is water falling to Earth in liquid or solid form
  • Most important phase of hydrological cycle
  • Requires adiabatic cooling of air masses
4

Types of Rainfall

  • Three main types based on mechanism of air rising: Convectional, Orographic, Cyclonic/Frontal
  • Each type has distinct characteristics and geographical distribution
  • All depend on adiabatic cooling of rising air masses
