Based on my understanding, in precipitation, there are three precipitation lifting mechanisms,

namely convective, frontal or cyclonic, and orographic. Convective is the strong heating of air at surface
which is directed to the expansion and rise of air vertically. It usually happens during summer where the
surrounding is very hot. Due to the hot temperature, air gets hot and we all know that warm air is lighter
than cold air so due to the rapid heating or air, the air eventually rises and cools then condenses.
Afterwards, clouds will start to form until saturated, and then begins to precipitate. Next is frontal or
cyclonic, in this mechanism, warm air slides over cooler air since it is lighter. In warm fronts, rainfall is not
extreme but it has large coverage. On the other hand, cold fronts tend to have extreme rainfall with small
coverage. Compared to convective precipitation, it has a longer duration. Lastly, we have orographic
rainfall, this occurs mainly on mountains or near mountains which is close to the sea due to the ascending
air forced by the barrier of a mountain. Orographic also means “related to mountains”, in this mechanism,
the air from the sea rises along with its elevation as it eventually cools. Condensation occurs and when it
reaches its dew point temperature, precipitation takes place (precipitation only happens one side of the
mountain). Afterwards, dry air then slides down the other side of the mountain as evaporation from
compression and warming then happens.
