1. convective uplift - the hot air is less dense & rises. 2. orographic lifting - air is forced to ride when it meets a mountain. 3. convergence - when two air flows meet and come together 4. frontal lifting - when less dense warm air is forced to meet cooler, denser air so the warm air rises above the cool air
