    Convergence lifting - This is a kind of lifting of air above the ground due to the horizontal inflow of air because of which no place left for air to go except above hence moves up.

    Orographic lifting - This is another kind of lifting of air that results in the formation of clouds and precipitation. Slow and steady movement of Air on an elevation makes it cool down to form clouds followed by precipitation.

    Frontal wedging - This again is a kind of air lifting in which the air moves up due to meeting of warm air with cool air. When cold meets warm the warm is pushed upwards.

    Convective uplift: Convective inspire happens when the air close to the ground is warmed by the sun and starts to rise. Air rises and cools, shaping mists and precipitation.
