I. It is not very active front.
II. It formed at meeting point of Arctic air mass and Polar air mass.
III. Its inactivity is due to the fact that temperature difference between Arctic air mass and Polar air mass is small.
16. Which one of the following river basins experiences the convectional rainfall?
