Amazon Rainforest Water Cycle
This diagram shows how water cycles throughout the rainforest;
. Heavy tropical rainfall occurs. It is convectional rainfall and is caused by the process of convection in the atmosphere. When the surface laysers of the atmosphere are heated, the moisture laden air rises in a convection current, and in rising is cooled untill the dew-point is reached, and its water vapour condenses and forms cloud; the convection current is sometimes so stong that the cloud becomes extended extremely high, and its water content becomes so considerable that heavy rainfall is deposited.
