Solution (By Examveda Team)

Convectional types of rainfall is often accompanied with lightning and thunder. Convectional rain is caused by convection where the surface layer of the atmosphere is heated causing the moisture laden air to rise. As it rises it cools to form clouds. The unequal heating of the earth's surface causes convection.
