Answer: OROGRAPHIC RAINFALL.

Explanation: OROGRAPHIC in meteorology refers to the effects of mountains on weather.

Orographic rainfall occurs as a result of the movement of moist air over a mountain, as the air is rising, it cools thereby leading to the formation of clouds known as OROGRAPHIC CLOUDS. These clouds serve as a source of precipitation and thereby leading to rainfall.
