Rainfall intensity is generally higher on

A. Northern hemisphere

B. Southern hemisphere

C. Near the equator

D. None of these

Answer: Option C

Solution (By Examveda Team)

Rainfall intensity is generally higher on and near the equator.
And this happens because the northeast trade winds and southwest trade winds converge in a low-pressure zone known as the intertropical convergence zone. Solar heating in the region forces air to rise through convection which results in excess precipitation near to equatorial region.
