Types of rainfall experienced in Ghana

1. Convectional
2. Relief/Orographic
3. Cyclonic/frontal

b)

Convectional Rainfall

1. The heating of the land surface causes evaporation of warm moist
2. The warm moist air becomes light and it is forced to rise by convection currents
3. The moist air becomes cooler in the upper atmosphere
4. The moist air condenses and forms cumulus rain clouds
5. With further cooling, cumulus clouds develop into cumulonimbus clouds
6. Heavy rain often accompanied by thunder and lightning falls
7. Hailstones may fall
8. Convectional rainfall occurs mostly in the afternoon

Relief/Orographic Rainfall

1. Warm moist air from the sea, lake or any water body blows against a highland barrier
2. The air formed is rise above the highland
3. The air becomes cooler in the upper atmosphere
4. The air is condensed to form cumulus clouds
5. With further cooling the cumulus clouds develop into cumulonimbus clouds
6. Much rain falls on the windward side of the highland
7. Very little rain falls on the leeward side of the highland

Cyclonic/frontal Rainfall

1. Cold air mass and warm air meets at a front
2. The cold air mass sinks because it is denser/heavier
3. The warm air mass rises over the cold air mass
4. The warm air mass rises into the upper atmosphere
5. It condenses to form cumulus clouds
6. Further cooling of the clouds causes the formation of cumulonimbus clouds
7. Rain falls ahead of the cold front
8. It falls in showers
9. It covers a wide area

(a)

Problems created in the urban areas by rural-urban migration

1. Increase in urban unemployment
2. Increase in crime wave (e.g Armed robbery, pick pocketing, etc.)
3. Pressure on social amenities
4. Creation of slums/overcrowding
5. Increase in transport problems
6. Increase in spread of diseases
7. Increase in environmental pollution
8. Increase in social vices
9. High cost of living
10. Streetism
11. Increase in government expenditure

(b)

Measures that can be adopted to reduce rural-urban migration

1. The provision of social amenities in rural areas would reduce the number of people migrating to the urban areas to look for such facilities
2. Development of industries such as basketry, cloth weaving, food processing, pottery in rural areas would provide alternative livelihood support to people living in rural areas
3. Extension of electricity to all parts of the country to promote the growth of small-scale industries and serve as an incentive to would-be entrepreneurs
4. The government must speed up decentralization process to help develop the rural areas
5. The government must link the rural areas with transport facilities to the extension of business and medical services to the rural areas. This will encourage farming and siting of rural industries to prevent people from drifting to the urban areas in seek of employment/jobs
6. Making the acquisition of land easy/land tenure system should be revised to attract young people into farming
7. Abolishing or changing of some traditional practices and beliefs such as female genital mutilation, forced marriages, Trokosi,etc.
8. Improvement of agriculture in the rural areas by providing agricultural inputs such as fertilizers, storage facilities, credit facilities, etc.
9. Sensitizing/educating the youth on the dangers and negative effects of urban areas e.g. unemployment, overcrowding, etc.
10. Providing ready market and guaranteeing prices for agricultural produces
11. Provision of job opportunities in the rural areas
12. Provision of recreational facilities such as parks in the rural areas
