C. Cyclonic rainfall
D. Convectional rainfall
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Orographic rainfall occurs when moist air is forced to rise over a mountain barrier, cooling and condensing to form clouds and precipitation on the windward side.
Explanation:
Stratus clouds are low-level clouds (below 2,000 meters) that form flat, uniform layers and often produce drizzle or light rain. Cirrus and Cirrostratus are high clouds, while Altocumulus is a middle cloud.
Explanation:
Tundra climates (Köppen ET) are characterized by permafrost (permanently frozen ground) and low-growing vegetation such as mosses, lichens, and shrubs. Trees are absent due to the short growing season.
