Which of the following is wrongly matched?

B. Rain caused by vertical circulation of air currents - orographic rainfall

C. Rain caused by a warm moist air mass moving upward over cold air mass - cyclonic rainfall

D. An area sheltered from rain bearing winds by a hill - rain shadow area

Answer: Option B

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Rain caused by vertical circulation of air currents - orographic rainfall is wrongly matched. Orographic precipitation, rain, snow, or other precipitation produced when moist air is lifted as it moves over a mountain range. As the air rises and cools, orographic clouds form and serve as the source of the precipitation, most of which falls upwind of the mountain ridge.
